Welcome to Adiyen Sri Ramanuja Dasan !
" Srimathe Ramanujaya Namaha !"
Q. ) Whats the purpose these puraanams!
The Saatvika puraanam reaches us to Mo:ksham and takes us out of this birth and death cycle. The knowledge of the 6 saathvika puraanas makes us reach to Srivaikuntam.
The raajasha Puraanam reaches us to Heaven/ Swarkam/ Indhra boomi. But one has to understand that, the bliss and the happiness that is experienced in the heaven is not permanent and after a specific period of time it makes us get born in this world again.
The Thaamas Puraanas reaches us to Hell/Narakam.
That is why is always advised to concentrate on the 6 Saathivika puraanas and the Ithihasas rather than the taamas and raajasa puraanas.

Saathivika puraanaas :-
1) Sri Vishnu Puraanam
