Social Service in Puranas

While Vedas glorify the nature of Atma and its ways for realization it is said to be somewhat personal. Attaining liberation from the cycle of births and deaths may be the fixed goal of a few specific souls. Vedas are not easily accessible to all due to its having a tough and terse style and dealing with super natural aspects. But puranas are simple in their style and readable to all. They are easily understandable as they are in easy Anushtup metre. They concentrate on making the theme understandable to all by their stories and narrative styles.Without making this world a better place, by pleasing all around us, in all possible ways, one cannot simply think of reaching heaven or liberation. Social services are the basic duties of every human being. By the passing over of time and leisured life style of today, men are being trapped in luxuries. Rather than living for one self, they try to show case their status in the society. The mankind forgets the goal of the world welfare. Vedas and puranas make it more clear to follow the path of social service as a binding duty of the human being. Dr. N.
