Stories from Puranas Part 2, like the first part, brings the infotainment aspects of Puranas for modern age.
After reading the first part of the Stories from Puranas, you must be convinced that the current ills of Hinduism, such as casteism, idol worship, blind faith on God or luck, non-worshipping Vedic Gods, and others are taught in any of the 18 Puranas. Rather the stories teach valuable lessons for leading a virtuous life, ready to face all the challenges of life.

The second part of the series of books on stories from Puranas is presented here with more than fifty amazingly entertaining stories. These stories include mythical, mystical, and magical elements, since the writers and readers of Puranas like to mix spices with the vegetables to make them tasty. But the major content of the stories is historical.
This part covers interesting stories about three incarnations of Vishnu, Parashuram, Ram, and Krishna. Besides, you enjoy story of Rishabh Deva, the partial incarnation of Vishnu.
Story of Ram, and his sons Lav and Kusha is amazing. While Kansh Vadha was narrated in the first part, you will enjoy the stories of birth of Shri Krishna, and his son, Pradyumna, and grandson, Aniruddh. Besides, marriage of Krishna and Rukmini and Jarasandha and Sisupala Vadha are narrated beautifully.
You will also be amazed by different stories related with kings of solar and lunar dynasties, and of Kuru Vansha, beyond those read by you in the first part of the series. These include mystical stories of Ila, Sasada, Kakushtha, Saudas, Chyavan, and several others. Stories of birth of Ved Vyas, and Bhishma, Raj suya Yagya of Yudhishthir, and Snake Yagya by Janamejay are narrated superbly in the book.
In the first part, you have read the story of Dakshayani becoming Sati in Yagya Kunda of Daksha. This part includes the wonderful happy stories of marriage of Shiva and Parvati, and birth of Kartikeya and Ganesha.
Then, there are some surprise additions, which are not very popular, but wonderfully selected for the reader.
