Therefore always perform without attachment what
should be done, in a spirit of consecration. The
person whose work is sanctified attains the
supreme truth.
-Bhagavad Geetaa 3:19
-----------------------------------------------
I am familiar with only a few Purana, and so when I hear others asserting
what
is and is not in Purana, I tend to listen carefully and then investigate
directly. I am aware of 18 chief Puranas and 18 Upapuranas and another 18
Upaupa Purana. The ones I consider most important are
Brahma Puranam
Padma Puranam
Vishnu Puranam
Siva Puranam
Bhagavatha Puranam
Naradha Puranam
Markendeya Puranam
Agni Puranam
Bhavishya Puranam
Linga Puranam
Varaha Puranam
Skantha Puranam
Vamana Puranam
Koorm Puranam
Machya Puranam
Garuda Puranam
Brahmanda Puranam
In Bhagavatha Purana I believe there were 21 avatars mentioned, however, HK
Susarla, Nathan Parker and others have on various occasions advised several
fora that Buddha, Chaitanya and Jesus are detailed in Bhavishya Purana. They
say they have seen text there saying Jesus is Son of Surya, is a member of
their foursquare lineage, is the Messiah of the Jews, and is the one who was
crucified. Since they refer to those descriptions as `predictions', they
apparently feel that text was written before, rather than well after, the
Appearances and Disappearances of those folk.
I have no idea which Sanskrit words were used in that Purana for `Messiah',
for `Jews', and for `crucified.' None of the men who mention the text have
specified if they have read it for themselves or if they are quoting their
sect's opinion on Purana. To that end I request any reader who can to please
post the complete verses from Bhavishya Purana which so reveal these wondrous
facts.
Thanks
