We often see puranas as a collection of stories, Stotras as prayers and mantras as meditative chants. Stotras and mantras are viewed as separate conduits to a higher plane of spirituality. Puranas are often, not always, viewed as disconnected ancient stories yet connected with the essence of Bharatiya culture. We have to look at these three as three integral connectors in the same path of Bhakti yoga, one more subtle than the other. This session explores some examples of how strotras become the connectors between the corpus of puranas and the subtle mantras.
