Description
A Purana literally denotes an account of the past History, but Bhavishya Purana is the History of the Future- a blend of the Past and the Future- occupying a distinct place among the 18 Maha Puranas. This Purana contains the following:
- Brahma Parva
- Madhyama Parva
- Pratisarga Parva and
- Uttara Parva
The Brahma Parva broadly describes the Major Deities of Vishnu, Shiva and Surya as also methods of worship; the Madhyama and Prati Sargas deal with Rituals and Predictions of ‘Future’ reflecting the trends of Modern History and the Uttar Parva constitutes a hand book of religious faiths and Vratas.
Brahma Parva describes in detail the dharmas or duties of married men and women. It prescribes several Vratas for given details. Ratha Saptami – the birthday of Bhagwan Surya and the duties, pooja to be performed on the auspicious day of Ratha Saptami are explained in detail. Similarly, the Story of Samba – Son of Krishna is a major portion of this book. The rise and fall of Samba and how he cured himself of leprosy worshipping Surya is described in great detail.
