About the Book A DEEP AND PROFOUND INSIGHT INTO THE GARUDA PURANA AND THE HINDU CONCEPTS OF DEATH, REBIRTH AND IMMORTALITY. Why do Hindus feed their dead ancestors? And why do they prefer burning the dead to building tombs? Does Hinduism have no concept of Judgement Day? What is the impact of death on its notions of womanhood and caste? Is the Vedic approach to death different from the Tantric one? The idea of death and rebirth is embedded in the Hindu mind through ritual and story. Death is not just tragic, but ambiguous too. For instance, it is the end of one journey, but it is also the beginning of another. Similarly, while it is true that the ancestors are venerated and fed posthumously, death is also considered inauspicious, a source of impurity. There are a variety of rituals that seek to address these ambiguities, provide comfort to the living and deliverance to the dead. In Garuda Purana and Other Hindu Ideas on Death, Rebirth and Immortality, Devdutt Pattanaik explores the many concepts around death across the spectrum of Hindu puranas and mythology. Bhuta, pishacha, preta, pitr and vetala make their appearance in this study, as do Yama, Hanuman, Kaal-Bhairav, Ram and other gods as well as lesser beings. The book is a unique enquiry into the inevitability that is death—but equally it is a guide for the living on the choices we make.

The "Garuda Purana" is probably the most important, living Purana. It is used in sermons, last rites, death anniversary / Shraadha. In its original form (19,000 shlokas), it is a treatise that covers Ayurveda, creation theories and the afterlife. It contains graphic details of death and punishment. Thus the "Garuda Purana" is recommended for reading only to the evolved jnani in most Indian traditions. The layman is advised to read the "Shubha Dharma Garuda Purana".This book evolved out of my attempt to revive a lost sacred text called the "Shubha Dharma Garuda Purana". I will soon publish The Shubha Dharma Garuda Purana. The Shubha Dharma.. version only contains parts that have a divine, ethical and metaphysical message. Narayana in his own words recommends its reading for the layman, grihasta.May the Acharyas, Garuda, Narayana and Yama bless you through this book. Originally published on Amazon, this is globally available.

Garuda Purana is often referred to by Pandits as Vigyana Sarvasva. It covers every single aspect of Vedas, Upanishads, and Puranas at a high level. It discusses the worship of various deities like Siva, Tripura, Durga, Ganesha, Vishnu, Sudarshana, and Gayatri. Though Mahabharata is well known for being the origin of Sri Vishnu Sahasranama, very few know that Vishnu Sahasranama is also recorded in Garuda Purana. Garuda Purana also covers various aspects of human life and how one can achieve happiness in this physical life by following ancient methods such as Meditation, Vastu Sastra, Jyotishya (astrology). Achara Khanda covers how one can improve their lifestyle naturally using, Yoga, Ayurveda, and other sciences. For those eager to earn money and richness, it describes in detail Nava Nidhis (treasures), the science of recognizing and understanding gems such as diamonds and crystals. For health enthusiasts, it covers various types of diseases, how to prevent them, various types of foods, nutrition, and ayurvedic medicines. For the enthusiasts of Dharma, it offers the minute details of Dharma Sastras. Preta Khanda offers a glimpse of Karma Siddhanta (how Karma works), what happens after death, the Soul’s journey through various lokas (dimensions), and all the way until their reincarnation and the rites that need to be performed for the Soul to have a smooth journey post-life. Brahma / Moksha khanda describes incarnations of Vishnu, Mahalakshmi, Siva / Rudra. It details the narrations of Nila, Bhadra, Kalindi, Lakshmana, and Jambavati. Glories of Tirumala Tirupati are also recorded. It recounts the Solar race (Surya Vamsha) and the Lunar race (Chandra Vamsha) and depicts the Mahabharata in detail.

This Garuda Purana Sarodhhara was compiled or written by one Navanidhirama, son of S'ri Hari Narayana, who lived in the city of Jhunjhunu, which was ruled by a King S'ri Sukhalalaji. It was done for the helping of those who cannot understand the difficult earlier works; but itself is not easy to understand, and required much labour, the author informs us. It is entirely originally written, he says, and comprises the results of very deep study of the sacred books, and is the extracted essence of them on the subjects with which it deals. The neo-theosophists, among the great good they have done to the world, have revived the idea that Hell is a living reality, and not a superstitious fiction, created by a designing priestcraft, to keep Humanity on its good behavior. Among the educated, with the vanishing of the belief in an after life, has vanished also the belief in Hell. But owing to the labors of the Psychical Research Society and similar other bodies, there are few educated persons now, who deny the existence of the afterlife, as they used to do some thirty years back. But though the belief in after life has revived, yet the cognate belief in Heaven and Hell is still very vague. Our Hindu Puranas, however, among the great mass of rubbish that they contain, have always been very clear on this question of Heaven and Hell. Serious writers of law books also like Yajnavalkya and Visnu have described as seriously the existences of various Hells, as they have done the various joys of Heaven. No doubt, the subject of Hell is not a very savoury one, and nervous persons have always fought shy of studying this unpleasant department of existence. But, pleasant or unpleasant, the science does not take into account the human feelings. No one is forced to study the subject, unless he feels strong enough to do so, as no one is bound to study Medicine, unless he is prepared to face the scenes of the dissecting room. The question then is, do these hells really exist? If so, where? This is a question of fact, and must be decided like all questions of fact, on the evidence of reliable witnesses who have, from personal experience, described this region. To a Hindu there is needed no greater testimony than that of Yogi Yajnavalkya who, in the Prayas'chitta Adhyaya of his law book, mentions 21 hells. The author of Visnu Smriti also has followed in his footsteps. Hell, then, according to Hindu seers, is a particular locality walled off from the surrounding regions of space by the messengers of Yama, the ruler of Hell. Within this particular space so specially guarded, no joy can enter. It is a region of pain - sharp. intense and severe. Sinners clothed in their painful bodies (jatana deha) - replica of their physical bodies, though made of subtler matter, suffer the punishments deserved by their sins. But there is one distinguishing mark between the Hindu idea of Hell and that of votaries of Semitic creeds. The punishment in Hell is not eternal. It is Reformatory and Educative. The hell punishment is not remembered by the soul when it is reborn, no more than it remembers the joys of heaven. But the permanent educative effect remains in that part of the sold - called the conscience. The natural fear, which certain souls feel at the sight of temptation to sin, is the result of the finer development of conscience, in the furnace of hell fire. This is the permanent gain which the soul has acquired, and which it will never lose through ages to come, by passing through the bitterness of the valley of Yama - the merciful ruler of Hell.
