Siva Purana: English Translation: 4 Volumes

I wanted to read the original scripture in English, rather than a synopsis version. For me it is valuable to read in it's entirety, as opposed to a watered down single volume version. I wanted to read about all the timeless Vedic legends of Shiva. Really delighted with the 4 volume set. Each volume was individually shrink wrapped for protection by the printer, and this shows respect for the scripture, which means a lot. It's printed on good quality smooth paper with a beautiful full color jacket. The pages have the style characteristic of many Indian books. First printing was in 1970, before current computer technology. Reminds me of the look of old style metal type. This greatly adds to it's attraction for me.(reprint 2016) The subtitles and numbered paragraphs make it easy to refer back to. A precious investment. Each individual volume has a complete and detailed Table of Contents. The fourth volume includes a 24 page index to the set.. It is very easy to find what you are looking for in this monumental translation. Or, just read in the order, for pure devotional bliss. So happy I invested in this set. A scholar will appreciate this and a devotee of Shiva will love this set. This is a valuable purchase to last this lifetime, and benefit you beyond.

Enlightening! Amazing! Must Read for gaining perfect knowledge - prerequisite for enjoying worldly pleasures and salvation.

I will never recommend this seller. The print is VERY VERY bad. To return they make you go through an obstacle course (the Marine and Navy obstacle course will be easier). They took nearly 1 month to deliver but when I wanted a refund, I was told that refund must be done within 2 business days!!

Books arrived as promised on time and was packaged with extreme care. Highly recommend, contained all volumes as advertised.

This became one of my most beloved sets of book in my collection. It is the complete translation of the Siva Purana, collection of incredibly inspiring (highly symbolical but in the same time so enjoyable) stories related to the ever victorious Absolute, Mahadeva. A must have for every Shaiva, student of Indian philosophy and culture as well as the ones interested in the studies of mythologies.
