Preface
Religious texts play an important role in the progress of the society and development of its values in it. The Vedas, the Ramayana, the Gita, the Puraanas and the Mahabharata are some of Hindu's precious religious texts that have been guiding mankind for ages together for an enduring and better society.
A god-fearing person on his own stops himself from doing wrong, as he is aware of the omni-presence of the Lord. Religious texts make us aware of our duties and the principles of Dharma or righteous behaviour. The term 'god-fearing' does not mean that one is a coward. It rather signifies an aversion, a fear to do wrong. This is what these ancient texts try to teach us.
The original texts are too voluminous and hence, we have presented their essence in the form of unique quiz book, which not only inform the reader but also enlighten him or her. The volume in your hand pertains to the ancient text Shiva Puraana and it satiates the curiosity of the inquisitive reader quite thoroughly.
