all have not the same ability to understand scripture(s).

hence a guru is need to guide/interpret.

 

personally one may choose to live by any scripture,

vyasadev did not write purnas for nothing.

he had a purpose.

the last and best purana he wrote is srimad bhagvatam.

no vaishanv aacharya has said to dump it.

to dump bhagavtam is to dump vaishnavism, bhakti yoga.

As a whole the Puranas themselves have caused alot of sectarian problems amongst Hindus. It is in the category of smriti, which means it is subordinate to the shrutis. I also find the stories in the Puranas very hard to believe, even if I try.

 

I would agree that we need proper gurus to interpret the puranas but I still think more emphisis should be placed on the Shrutis. If people want the puranas they can have them, but I myself cannot believe in them literally.
