Garuda Puran

Garuda Puran is one of the eighteen Mahapuranas of Hinduism, renowned for its profound teachings on life, death, and the afterlife. This sacred text is traditionally narrated by Lord Vishnu to Garuda, his divine vehicle, making it a unique scripture of spiritual wisdom and guidance.

The Puran provides deep insights into the journey of the soul after death, descriptions of Yama’s court, and the concept of karma and rebirth. It also includes discussions on rituals for the departed, codes of ethics, cosmology, medicine, astrology, and the paths of devotion and liberation.

Highly revered across India, the Garuda Puran is especially recited during funeral rites and post-death ceremonies, offering solace to grieving families and guiding the departed soul. Its blend of mythology, philosophy, and practical dharma makes it a timeless spiritual companion that connects the living with the eternal truths of existence.
