Read Vishnu Purana to understand its relevance in this Kali Yuga !

In this excellent work on the Pūrāṇas, Dr. Srinivasan has again made the highly complex and sophisticated literature of an equally complex and sophisticated culture accessible to the contemporary reader. He has a gift for communicating complex ideas in a way that makes them clear and easy to grasp, but does so without losing sight of their inherent complexity.” Professor Jeff Long, Elizabeth College, PA

Please permit me to briefly introduce myself in context:

I am the author of several publications, including the books: Vedic Wedding: Origins, Tradition, and Practice(National Best Book Award in 2007, currently out of print), A Hindu Primer: Yaksha Prashna (Benjamin Franklin Award in 2016), and Hinduism for Dummies, Second edition, 2026).

My papers on a variety of Hinduism related topics have appeared in Vedanta Kesari, Prabuddha Bharata, Quest; Journal of the Theosophical Society of America, Hindu Vishva, Bhavan’s Journal and Tattva Loka.

Publishers include Bangalore Press, Periplus Line, LLC, Wiley Publishers, White River Press, Penguin Random House, New Delhi, Cambridge University Press, and Vision Books, New Delhi.

Let me ask you: If there is one book that you could use to (1) teach Sanskrit, (2) introduce your students to one of the exciting stories from the Mahabharata, and (3) explain the Hindu value system, would you prescribe and use it? Of course you would!

A few weeks ago a friend and customer wrote directly to me: “Thank you for your gift of the book.  This is an outstanding edition. Can I please purchase 50 copies of this edition? Please let me know.” This was a pleasant surprise that prompted us to order the 2nd reprint of the 3rd edition:
