Guest guest Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Dear Chandran That is the beauty of Hinduism. it was created to make sure no one is left out on the path of spiritualism. While the vedas are slightly complicated and are meant for people with very developed knowledge. The puranas was created for the simple men with very easy to understand verses. But when you compare the both you find their core is the same And for the busy ones there is always the bagavad gita. its basically a summary of what you really need to know. A audio version of the gita can be found for free on the net. Thanks to the effort of Swami Prabhupada the glories of the gita has spread far and wide With Kind Regards Hari , chandran bonezz <tampines_bone wrote: > > Bhagavita Gita > > Gita is often being described as a concise guide to Hindu philosophy and also as a practical, self-contained guide to life.
