Studies in Skanda Purana-present the data derived from the exploration of the oceanic text of the Skanda Mahapurana relating to Geogra phy, History, Polity, Cociety, Economic life Religion and Philosophy and Tirthas, lconography and Fine Arts, are treated for the first time in these studies based on the Skanda Purana.
Skanda Purana in its present form represents the Age of lmperial Kanauj and Struggle for the Empire, roughly from 9th century A.D. to the 12th century A.D., when it was struggling hard against the alien invaders. The economic prosperity of Karmabhumi-Bharata was based on the geographical factors and natural resources of the country viz, the fertile land with mountains, forests and rivers, full of different types of trees and animals, as well as metals like gold and silver.
The material prosperity led to the enrichments of our culture reflected in the grand temples. Temples were set up for the deity of one's own devotion. Pancayatana-worship based on the tenets of Saiva, Vaisnava, Saura, Ganesa, and Sakta Cults was dominet phase of religious life in this epoch Different asceticorders, theistic and athiestic, too marked their stamps on the socio-religious life of the country. We find references to Matsyendra Natha and Mahamuni Ramanuja of Dravida, Mahamati Ramanuja advocated Sattvikibhakti. Among the different schools of Bhakti, Krsna-cult and Rama-Bhakti became popular. The former advocated the Prama-Bhakti expounded by Narada and Sandily. Rama-cult had already displayed its vigour against Jainism (and Buddhism) in the courts of kings like Ama-Nagabhata II of the Pratihara dynasty of Kanyakubja.
Popularity and prominence of Suryabhakti is exhibited by alarge number of solar shrines set up through out the country.
Jainism was also dominant as evidenced by the influence of Suris upon the courts and kings like that of Kumarapala, who denounced Ramabhakti at the instance of Indra-Sur, a Jain ascetic of great celebrity.
Buddhism survived Buddha, a jatila, was worshipped in the form of Visnu. It reflects the spirit of reconciliation. Similary Skanda refers to conflicts between Saivas and Vaisnavas, but this rivalary between the two sects ultimately led to the syncretism which was advocated by Siva himself (Skanda?).
Skanda refers to famous six philosophical schools of Sankya-yoga, Purva-mimamsa and Uttara-mimamsa (Vedanta) as well as Nyaya and Vaiseshika. It also refers to the Philosophy of Love, associated with the life of Krsna.
