we should preserve all puranas for future - these have survived great
technological changes since yeons and are much studied by present day
scholars. It is our sacred duty to preserve them for a future when
present/current technologies fail.

Subject: [SriRangaSri] Puranas

Preserving the Puranas from Hindu Dharma
For a thousand or ten thousand years our temples and the festivals
associated with them have nurtured our religious traditions against
various opposing forces. Every temple has a story to tell; every temple
festival has a legend behind it. These have been preserved in the
Puranas. To ignore or neglect this great heritage, this great treasure,
is to cause serious hurt to the religious feelings of our people. 

In the past, when there was no printing press, the palm-leaf manuscripts
were jealously guarded generation after generation. Is it right to keep
them in neglect when so many books are churned out by the printing
presses today, the majority of them injurious to our inner advancement?
It is our duty to preserve the Puranas for future generations. Not to do
so is to deprive them of great source of inspiration
