For
a thousand or ten thousand years our temples and the festivals
associated with them have nurtured our religious traditions
against various opposing forces. Every temple has a story to
tell; every temple festival has a legend behind it. These have
been preserved in the Puranas. To ignore or neglect this great
heritage, this great treasure, is to cause serious hurt to the
religious feelings of our people.
In
the past, when there was no printing press, the palm-leaf
manuscripts were jealously guarded generation after generation.
Is it right to keep them in neglect when so many books are
churned out by the printing presses today, the majority of them
injurious to our inner advancement? It is our duty to preserve
the Puranas for future generations. Not to do so is to deprive
them of great source of inspiration.
