Re: Purpose of Puranas and need for repackaging
purANa-s are amongst the most misunderstood of Hindu scriptures. They are commentaries or explanations of the veda in the form of concretized allegorical/itihAsic narrations. They are not meant for immature minds, but essentially for practising yogis who can understand their tAtparya. Of course, they have many levels of meanings, and barring interpolations they have no unscientific nonsense.
Guard your Dharma, Burn the Myth, Promote the Truth, Crush the superstition.
