The "Brahmavaivarta Puran" is a Vaishnavaite text that interprets as the "metamorphosis of Brahman," linking Brahman with Krishna within this specific Purana. It offers a unique view on creation, depicting how Krishna, as Brahman, shapes and embodies the universe. The story of Radha and Krishna within this Purana reveals the development and core of the cosmos.
This Purana is structured into four parts or khandas. The initial part highlights Krishna as the original creator, the universal soul, and the supreme reality known as Brahman. The second part introduces the concept of Prakriti or matter, represented by goddesses. The third part explores Ganesha, the revered elephant-headed deity, presenting his life story, family, and his identification as an incarnation of Krishna. The concluding section of this Purana centers on Radha and Krishna, examining their hymns, tales, and mythology, depicting Radha as Krishna's energy and power (shakti), underscoring their unity.
