Garuda Purana is often seen as a scripture to be read only at the time of death or sorrow but in reality it is a scripture of life management. Composed in the form of a conversation between Lord Vishnu and his vehicle Garuda, this text not only solves the mysteries of the afterlife but also tells man how to live a rule-based and orderly life. This is such a mirror in which a person can clearly see the true picture of his actions.
Its importance remains even today. Today, while modern science is researching the possibilities of consciousness and life after death, Garuda Purana has long ago explained the journey of the body and the principle of karma in a simple form. This scripture is not meant to create fear, rather it teaches us that the actions we do today decide our tomorrow.
Important things about Garuda Purana
doctrine of karmic consequences
The biggest lesson of this Purana is that no work goes unfruitful. It teaches that just as a calf finds its mother among thousands of cows, similarly karma finds its doer.
knowledge of life
Garuda Purana inspires a person to free himself from the bondage of attachment and illusion. It states that the body is mortal and only the soul is immortal. This philosophy helps a person to be patient in difficult times and reduce the fear of death.
rules of morality
It not only talks about heaven and hell but also talks about food, health, policy and religion in detail. For example, donation of food is the biggest donation, only money earned through hard work gives happiness and respect for parents and guru is mandatory.
Environment and life protection
In Garuda Purana, plantation of trees and service to voiceless animals are also described as the path to salvation. This is reminiscent of today’s ‘ecological balance’.
last minute refinement
This text tells that at the time of death, whatever happens to a person’s consciousness, he gets the same speed. Therefore, emphasis has been laid on positive thoughts and doing virtuous deeds throughout life.
