As the Title The Book is about explaining the topics present in puranas with Modern Science View.
First I would like to Appreciate the author for the magnificent research which has been done while writing this book.
The Book has been well written with all possible explanations and also a balanced approach while explaining the link between our ancient puranas and modern science.
Major possible topics of Purana where we can link it up with Science have been covered and they are Sun, The Unit of Measure, Earth, The Cosmic Egg, The Moon, The Great flood, Puranic universe and Maharishi Vyasa.
Book Starts with the explanation of the Birth of Surya and what important roles he plays in Hinduism is explained with great details and how Sun came to be is described beautifully with both the puranic references and Astrological references.
Next is the Unit of Measurement -- Pramana , where it explains modern equals of Puranic Pramanas Yojana,Kalpa and all. The author has made sure to present the discrepancy that is present in the puranas when they explain Pramanas.
The Cosmic Egg and the explanation of the various mandals, Sagaras and Lokas gave me goosebumps while reading and made me awe in places with detailed explanations of the environments and its soil and Water characters.
The Moon importance and its birth has been explained with 3 different stories available in the puranas and also there is brief information of the Churn of Kshira Sagara present.
The Great flood and the boat has been explained in this chapter including the narrations available in Abrahamic and Egyptian mythologies , it's a very good chapter and was very much interested on how Earth itself is considered as a Boat and Matya avatara and Manu’s Role as a
the protagonist has been explained here with the details and also of the boat and animals and seeds and landing point of the boat after the flood stops and guiding light of Sapta Rishis .
At last the brief information of Maharishi Vyasa life is present which is a good tribute to the author of Mahabharata .
There are various Conversations between Gods,Sages and Kings which are very interesting to know.
I have written a very brief review of the book and don’t want to spoil the interest of people who want to read the book with detailed information ,
This is a Must read book for the Millennial Hindu generation who questions what is there in the Puranas and everyone who is interested in our Sanatana Dharma should read this book.
Note: I received this Book as part of 1000 Review Club of Indic Book Club.
My Rating: 5/5 , Highly Recommend to buy the book and read it.
