introduction:-
The author of Bhavishya Purana is Maharishi Ved Vyas Rishi. According to this Purana, it is believed that the number of verses in Bhavishya Purana is actually about 50,000. But with the passage of time, at present only 14,000 verses are received. The Bhavishya Purana has been divided into four festivals namely Brahma Parva, Madhyam Parva, Pratisarga Parva, and Uttara Parva. The Madhyam Parva is divided into three and Pratisarga Parva four in the middle of these. There are chapters included in these four festivals, whose total number is 485.
The stories in Bhavishya Purana are interesting and impressive. The Vetal-Vikram-Samvad in the 23 chapters of the second section of Pratisarga Parva is very delightful and enchanting. The description of Shri Satyanarayan Vratkatha is found in chapters 24 to 29 in the second section of the Pratisarga festival of Bhavishya Purana.
Structure of Bhavishya Purana:-
The Bhavishya Purana has been divided into four Parvas, which are as follows.
Brahma Parva:-
There is a total of 215 chapters in this festival of Bhavishya Purana. In this Mahapuran of fifteen thousand verses related to future events, there are religions, conduct, Nagpanchami fast, sun worship, women’s episode, etc. At the beginning of Brahma Parva, there is a dialogue between Maharishi Sumantu and King Shatnik. In this festival, there is mainly a detailed description of the fast-fasting worship method, the greatness of Suryapasana, and the stories related to them. It has 169 chapters related to the Sun.
Medium Festival:-
In this festival of Bhavishya Purana, there is a representation of all the rituals. The subjects related to fasting and charity and fasting are considered very important in Madhyam Parva. In the Madhyam Parva, mainly details have been given about Shradhkarma, Pitrukarma, marriage rites, Yagya, fasting, bathing, atonement, Annaprashan, Mantropasana, Raj Karna, counting the days of Yagya. The description of fasts in such detail is neither found in any Purana, in any religious scriptures, nor in any independent collection of fasting books.
Pratisarg festival:-
Important material of history is present in the third and fourth sections of Pratisarga Parva of Bhavishya Purana. History writers have first taken the basis of this. The authentic history of medieval Harshavardhan, Mahavir Bappa Rawal, Maharaj Prithviraj Chauhan, Alha-Udal, Peshwa Madhavrao, etc. Hindu kings and Alauddin, Muhammad Tughlaq, Timurlang, Babur and Akbar, etc. have been known. It describes about Jagadguru Sri Adishankaracharya, Sri Ramanujacharya, Mirabai, Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, Guru Nanak Devji, Tulsidasji, Surdasji, Kabirdasji, Chand Bardai.
Uttara festival:-
In the Uttara Parva of Bhavishya Purana, there is a description of Narada being fascinated by the illusion of Lord Vishnu. After this, many other fasts which give good luck to women have also been described in detail. There are 208 chapters in this festival. Uttara Parva is a part of Bhavishya Purana, but it is also considered a Bhavishyottara Purana.
There are many such things mentioned in the Bhavishya Purana, which are beyond our understanding. The prediction of Bhavishya Purana seems to be happening. Lord Brahma says in the Bhavishya Purana that if you want to know the nature of a person, then you can know many information by carefully looking at his hair, nails, teeth, etc.
Bhavishya Purana can be helpful in the life of us human beings in such a way that human beings should face the test of Kali Yuga with caution and should proceed towards creating a happy future by doing good deeds.
