The Sankshipt Shiv-Puran by Gita Press is an exceptional and highly accessible version of one of the most important Puranas. As one of the 18 Mahapuranas, the Shiva Purana is a cornerstone of Sanatana literature, revered by millions of Shiva devotees. This edition does a remarkable job of making this profound text available to a wider Hindi-speaking audience.

What stands out immediately is the simplified, yet comprehensive approach. Gita Press has skillfully condensed the extensive original text into a more manageable hardcover format, without losing its essence. The use of a Hindi-only version is a brilliant move, as it ensures the text is understood directly and without the complexities of translation. The language is clear and easy to follow, making it perfect for both new and seasoned readers of Hindu scripture.

The inclusion of vibrant, full-color pictures is a fantastic addition. These illustrations are not just decorative; they bring the stories of Lord Shiva to life, helping readers visualize the divine leelas and various forms of Shiva described in the text. The bold typeface also makes for an easy and comfortable reading experience, a thoughtful detail for a book intended for regular spiritual practice.

For any devotee of Lord Shiva or anyone interested in the rich extent of Sanatana Dharma, this Sankshipt Shiv-Puran is a must-have. It’s a devotional and scholarly work combined, presented in a format that honors the spirit of the text while making it inviting and accessible to all. A true gem from Gita Press.
