The Holy Agni Purana provides a glimpse of the content and course of ‘Brahma Gyan’ or the Awareness of the Self and Super Energy. The portrayal of the track leading to this Goal is through traditional Vedic prescriptions based on Rituals, Sacrifices, Abstinence, Meditation, Temple Visits, practice of Yoga and Gayatri. Agni Purana seeks to offer solace, happiness, security, peace of mind, discipline, self-confidence, success, and a perfect guide to achieving goals of Spititual and Meaningful Existence.Mere possession of the Purana is stated to frighten away the Evil spirits, enemies or thieves and encourage frequent visits of Devas and ‘Satpurushas’( Godmen). There would not be health problems or unresolved issues. The family life would be full of contenment and compositeness. Reciting chapters or even discourses by the Learned would even substitute visits to holy places, or providing alms and performance of ‘Vratas’or ‘Pujas’. In short, Agni Purana is a provider of ‘Iham’ and ‘Param’.
