Description

New Delhi: Diamond Pocket Books (P) Ltd., 2006. — 84 p. (in English)The Bhavishya Purana, the ninth in the list of the Mahapurana, is a short Purana, containing about fourteen thousand couplets. The Bhavishya Purana earns a special distinction by being the only Purana that is based on the 'predictions'. It mostly tells us what 'will be from the time it was compiled in. Hence oracles and prophecies abound in this Purana. Even though other Puranas also delve occasionally in future-telling, they all seem to have borrowed the futuristic section from this Purana only. It is believed that the present edition of the Bhavishya Purana is the abridged or condensed version of the three Puranas known as 'Bhavishya Purana', 'Bhavishyati Purana' and 'Bhavishyottara Purana'.
