November 16 2007 Shiva Sutras: History versus Purana

Title

History versus Purana

Description

From the works of Living Enlightened Master Paramahamsa Nithyananda. In this clip taken from the discourses titled, "The Power of no Judging & Detach Naturally", Swamiji clearly describes the differences between history and Puranas. History is based on depiction in three dimensions -- Length, breath and depth whereas Puranas describe an additional two dimension, the dimensions of space and time also. This is why historians cannot understand puranas. Puranas are the visual representation of what has happened beyond length, breath and depth. This is why historians always question evry aspect of puranas. In his characteristic ways, Swamiji teaches us that History = Fact (mainly distorted), Puranas = Fact + Truth
