The Puranas work as guiding inspiration in Hindu life. The stories of Puranas reflect the composite human nature of all times. The lessons of the Puranas are captivating, entertaining and widely followed by the Hindus, so much that it can undisputedly be said that the Puranas are the beacons of Indian ethos. Today, when the old values seem outdated, the stories of the Puranas bring forth the lessons as much the graceful as were in old times. There are 18 Puranas, which tell the tales of vice and virtue, good and evil, religion and irreligion and so on. These are relevant even today. Koorma Purana is one of them. Its text is presented in form of a tortoise's expression of stories and morals out of them. The word 'Tortoise' means 'Koorma' in Sanskrit. According to Hindu scriptures, the Koorma was the metamorphosed form of Lord Vishnu, in his second incarnation. The morals derived from the stories spoken by the Koorma, were actually emanating from metamorphosed Lord Vishnu. The Koorma discusses the Shaiva and Shaakta theories.

Puranas Reimagined: Attaining Enlightenment Through Samudra Manthan shares a new perspective of the popular folklore of Samudra Manthan cited in the Holy Scriptures. It draws an allegory between the religious folktale of the Daityas, the Devtas and the celestial gifts with inner sciences of spirituality. Each celestial gift obtained, such as Airawat, Kalpvriksha, Shankh, etc., in the tale, is considered as an amazing psychic power or Siddhi. The miraculous powers can be developed by an individual following the Ashthang Yoga or the eight-fold path of yoga. Further, following extensive research, the book highlights astounding anecdotes from the lives of revered Holy Saints who had engaged the said Siddhi in their life. In the words of Galileo: “All truths are easy to understand, once they are discovered; the point is to discover them.” The book comprehends and shares a new dimension of the truth of the immortal tale.

Puranas are almost like an encyclopaedia listing the human achievements in this part of the world till the time they were edited or compiled. In every cycle of time the master editor called Veda Vyas emerges to edit, vet and compile these records. Their significance is enormous even in the present, as they give a peep into the distant past of Hindus when the world was evolving and the psyche of the race was being formed. These Puranas record the arguments that make us to decide as to what is holy and what is vile; what is good and what is bad. By going through them we can compare our present day jurisprudence vis-a-vis the ancient norms. Apart from that, they are a huge store-house of information conceiving every subject under the sun. It is with the view of unearthing these gems that the present series of the puranas has been planned.
