ब्रह्माण्ड पुराण

Brahmāṇḍa Purāṇa

The Brahmāṇḍa Purāṇa takes its name from the brahmāṇḍa, the cosmic egg from which the universe unfolds. Arranged in four pādas, it covers creation, cosmography, the ages of Manu and royal lineages, sharing much material with the Vāyu Purāṇa. Its appended Lalitopākhyāna, in which Hayagrīva instructs the sage Agastya, contains the Lalitā Sahasranāma, central to Śrīvidyā worship, and the Adhyātma Rāmāyaṇa is traditionally ascribed to it. This two-volume course explores both cosmology and devotion.

What you will learn

• The cosmic egg and purāṇic cosmology
• The four pādas and the link with the Vāyu Purāṇa
