Devi Bhagavatam (Devi Puranam) The Srimad Devi Bhagavatam, also known as Devi Purana, was composed into 12 chapters, containing 18000 verses by the great Veda Vyasa. Though classified as an upapurana it is the only purana Vedavyasa called "Maha Purana" meaning the great purana. At the end of each chapter of the 18 main puranas or the upa puranas is the verse "This is the end of the fifth section of the Vishnu Purana", or "Thus ends the first chapter of Ganesha Purana Upasanakhanda called "The Description of Somakanta". Where as in the Devi Bhagavatam it is clearly - "Thus ends the eighth chapter of the first Skandha in the Mahapurâna Srimad Devî Bhâgavatam of 18,000 verses by Maharsi Vedavyâsa". The choice of words by the great rishis is obvious as Divine Mother is described in all major sastras as the one beyond and above the trinities and all Gods.----------The S'rîmad Dev Bhâgawatam (Devi Purana) Translated by Swami Vijñanananda [1921-22] FOREWORD NOTICE OF ATTRIBUTION Scanned, and proofed by Sahaji, 2004-5.

War. Suffering. Despair. The year 4350, Kali Yuga's peak. Virtue and dharma had disappeared from the face of Earth long back and all that remained now was despair. To escape from the hell they called home, Syxira and Zolani agree to be scapegoats for a time travel experiment. When the time-travel experiment goes wrong, they're sent back to the era of Dwapar Yuga, a time of gods and kings. Thrown back in time to the epic of Mahabharat, they find solace near the banks of the Ganga, the forests of Aryavarta and the palaces of Hastinapur. They view the epic from far away, but can't help being drawn in themselves. But they face their worst enemy-God himself. Because even in this new world, their hatred for Krishna runs deep. The cheeky, flute-playing God hadn't helped them as they lost everything in Kaliyug. Yet, here he played his flute with no worries in mind. They argue all day, and scream all night but never make up for the silly fights. But, will their fury keep them from finding peace or will they have to confront the very gods they despise? Will they ever let themselves be a part of the famous tale of Mahabharat? ⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅ This book is being written in collaboration of Error_1242 and bhadra-. . . . . . . . . . #1 in yudishthir #3 in kaurav #4 in nakul #7 in pandav #10 in pandava

A Different Destiny - A Mahabharat/Karn Fanfic
Destiny mourned the loss of not just great warriors, but also great people in the Kurukshetra war. One of them was Suryaputra Karn. Even the gods wept looking at the amount and pain and suffering their children had endured and in the end, Destiny changed its course. A story where a brother didn't kill his own brother. A story where a mother and son found their way back to each other, where Karn grew up to be the Pandavs' eldest brother and eventually fell in love with Isha, Maharaj Drupad's youngest daughter who was the result of a boon given to him by Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. _____ "Oh Lord Eshwar! Your future son-in-law's intelligence got corrupted!" said Lord Krishna, looking at Karn who was looking at the beautiful Princess Isha from a distance.
Radheya-Priya Vrushali Padmavati: Soul-mate of a Surya Putra (Karna Series 2)
This is the untold story of a wife of one of the most promising and remarkable archer of Mahabharata. Karna. This girl loved him unconditionally from the very bottom of her heart and was witness of his endless pain, suffering, dilemma and agony to prove himself. She was a very simple maid who became a queen by her own merit. She loved a man whose own heart was already broken by death of his lover and she warmed his heart. She saw his pain, she had supported him, she had suffered for him, but she felt ignored by the coming of two other wives of him. However she loved them both as her own baby sisters and both of them also respected her with their whole heart. She suffered tremendously by his avoidance and then falling one after another for two other beautiful wives. But she did not try to complain. She helped him. She suffered by loosing her nine sons one after another and then by her husband Karna and her two baby sisters Supriya and Uruvi. What if she was an immortal being as the Manas Kanya of Brahma Dev?!! How could she cope up with the pain and endless agony of loosing her children one after another?!! From her only son Vrishasen to Supriya Putra her dearest Vrishaketu and Uruvi Kanya her beloved Padmaja?!! She is daughter of Brahma Dev in two previous births. So She is Brahma Dev Manas Putri too like Devi Supriya and Devi Ganga. She is known as Brahma Putri Vrushali in her previous birth as the wife of estranged Gandarv Prince Biswa Bhanu (previous life of Karna). It is my purely fan fiction story based on the epic Mahabharata. I don't want to hurt anyone's religious sentiments or believes. Even I don't want to change the course of entire Mahabharata. I follow the Bengali version of Mahabharata by Kashiram Das. The pictures were taken from the public domains. Images courtesy: Pinterest, Google Chrome and YouTube.Complete
Krishna Katha
Sri Krishna is the beloved Boatman who untiringly plies His Boat of Consciousness between our unparalleled thoughts and his unrivalled spirituality. For our Kanha, the Gita is his Heart, his Vision, his Fulfilment. For us, the Gita is humanity's breath, its journey towards Moksh Prapti. Madhav's melodious flute stirs the universal consciousness and enchants the transcendental consciousness. Dwarkadheesh is the shoreless ocean of bliss. But as soon as we sincerely dedicate ourselves in service of his Lotus feet, he presents us with his own boat and takes us to the boundless Shore, just like his Ardhangini, the golden of all. It would be an understatement to describe Lakshmipati, the supreme god head with these few little words. But Devkinandan would never decline his devotees' sweet offerings. Even the smallest, selfless act of love would be enough to engulf our Prathsarthy in an embrace of gratitude. And thats the reason, we have done a small yet dedicated attempt to pour down our thoughts, our heartfelt messages , giving another aspect to the events casued by the famous, yet infamous warfare of Mahabharat. From Madhav to RukminiVallabh And from Govind to Banke Bhihari, Krishna Kathaa contains the characters mentioned in Shrimad Bhadwad, wishing Trilokinath on the auspicious occasion of Janmasthami and turning the pages of history only to retell the intersting story behind the names our darling of Vrindavan had accquired during his time on mrityu lok.Complete

Basavi Uruvi: A Forgotten Karna Sangini (Karna Series 4)
Uruvi, a golden hearted Princess of Pukeya, tried hard to change her destiny. She did not want to be married to anyone but unwantedly she befriended with two arch enemy Arjuna and Karna. One became her brother while another her husband. She tried to reconcile both of them with their wives, Arjuna with Chitrangada and Karna with Supriya. But would this big devotee and friend of Lord Krishna be sucessful in her endeavour? With whom her own destiny was then written? Who would be her friends and foes? Would she be loved and adored by all? Why Yuddhisthir loved her as his own sister? Why Duryodhan considered her as his friend and advisor? Why had wise Bhism considered her as as his own granddaughter? Could she convince Kunti to declare Karna as her first-born? Could she stop the great blood thirsty war of Mahabharata? Or would she also perish in this great blood thirsty battle along with her husband and sons? However Uruvi was not a well known as Karna Sangini. Mostly only one Karna's wife had been depicted. Some named her as Vrushali and some Padmavati. In the Ved Vyas Mahabharata the wife of Karna was only named as Karna-Sangini. Most would tell that the story of Uruvi was just a folklore and mentioned only in the scripts of South India. So kindly remember that fact before reading my book. She was Shankar Putri and Foster daughter of Bhumi Devi or mother earth. This is my original unpublished story and purely fan fiction and imaginative. It is copyrighted by only me. Nowhere except here it was published ever. It was not taken from any serial or book. It is part of my imagination. I don't want to hurt anyone's religious beliefs, feelings or sentiments.

Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint
"Inherited Will, A Man's Dream, and the Flow of Time. As long as men reach for the meaning of freedom... such things will not end." What if, after Drona's rejection, the Suta's son wandered into the wrong forest... and met a sage whose power shattered the laws of gods and men? Vasusena was supposed to be forgotten.<br /> A bastard of fate, mocked as Sutaputra, cursed to live and die in Arjuna's shadow. But fate took a misstep. A mistake, a misstep and the world itself changed with a single notfication popping up in front of his eyes [Welcome Player One to Omniscient Reader's viewpoint] Now, every battle is experience.<br /> Every monster slain, every rakshasa devoured, every skill honed brings him closer to the strength denied by birth. From bone-forged weapons to divine astras, from ruthless assassinations to reckless head-on wars, Vasusena forges his legend not as saint nor hero-but as anti-hero, burning with wrath and envy, with brilliance and impossible will.
