However, the idea that the Bhagavata we are studying now is for the wrong kalpa is really absurd. The proposed date of the recording (writing down) of a Purana is yet another ballgame. That may not mean that it is also spoken at the time of recording. It is said, after all, that in previous yugas people were shrutidhara, they remembered things after a single hearing and did not require any books. The different sadhanas for different yugas are mentioned in the Bhagavata 12.3.52.advaitadashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11562361400492002096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15485481.post-58978036852707925552008-06-19T14:01:00.000+02:002008-06-19T14:01:00.000+02:00Many Puranas are relatively recent works, the gene...Many Puranas are relatively recent works, the general consensus is that they weren't all written around the same time. I fail to see that any Purana can be for a different Yuga. Because Bhaktivedanta Swami has suggested that certain types of sadhana are for differant yugas, this doesn't necessarily mean that the Puranas that promote these are of a differant Yuga?Jagannathdashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13515294717305937171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15485481.post-43414480285590082352008-06-16T08:41:00.000+02:002008-06-16T08:41:00.000+02:00Hari Bhakti Vilasa is for devatas, not for humans....<I>Hari Bhakti Vilasa is for devatas, not for humans.</I><BR/><BR/>I mean, I hope it is clear to everyone that this was a figurative remark, not that HBV is <B>literally</B> written only for demigods.
