Garuda Purana: Garuda Purana is an important scripture of Hindu religion. It is included in the 18 Mahapuranas of Hindu religion. The mystery after death, the journey of the soul, sins and virtues, heaven and hell are explained in detail in Garuda Purana. The rule of this world is unshakable that whoever is born, his death is also certain. Birth and death are two extremes whose processes are very different from each other.

At the time of birth, the baby makes itself felt by crying. At the time of death the consciousness of the body starts disappearing. It is often seen that at the time of death a person looks upward. That means their eyes turn upwards. This mysterious transformation of the body has been explained in detail in Garuda Purana. Let us know.

According to Garuda Purana…

According to Garuda Purana, the movements that occur in a person's body at the time of death depend on his deeds and his mental state. Some main reasons behind the turning of eyes have been mentioned in Garuda Purana. It is very painful for a person who is more attached to worldly pleasures, wealth and family during his life, then it is very painful for him to give up his life.

A person gets scared after seeing Yamdoots

Garuda Purana says that even when death approaches, such a person does not want to leave the world. There is a desire to live in him. This desire keeps it tied to the body, hence when the life force is withdrawn from the body, the eyes turn upward. It is said in the scriptures that when Yamdoot comes to take the soul, the dying person gets scared after seeing his appearance.

He wants to say something, but his voice gets stuck in his throat. In fear his pupils dilate and his eyes turn upside down. When Yamdoot expels the soul from the body by force, such a situation also occurs. At the same time, when Prana comes out from the head or eyes, the eyes also turn away.
