What is Garuda Puranam ?

[Guest guest]

True. when you read Sri Garuda purana, the noble souls and Lord visnu's servants (vishnu ganams) will surround you to listen it so if you affected some black magic effects or sorcery then instanly the unblessed souls, which sent by bewitch(s), escaped from victim and punish the sender.

 

It is not myth. I checked it on some victims. How is it worked? Garuda purana explains the life after death and it says, in your life time, give donation to the poor in any kinds money, annathanam, build structures for public use and etc.. so the soul after death will get hell or heaven as per their doings.

 

The hell is discribed widely in this purana by hundreds of slogams. So, The unblessed souls of bewitch are treating as an convicted escaped prisnor so, when Garuda puranam read a page or a slogam before the victim or lighting a cantle or ghee filled five faces light lamp in the house, The god's servants will catch them for punishment.

 

Is it true that it do not read read in the house? My opinion is NO becasue Lord Sri Krishna said in The Bhagavad Gita that no one knows what was happned before birth and will know after death. visit http:\\srigita.sath.in. And Think Logically, You never know your last birth and what you got, after death, hell or heaven before this birth and it will be same in this birth and after death and at the time of rebirth.

 

SO THE GARUDA PRANAM SAYS ONLY THAT SPEND YOUR LIFE USEFULLY TO HELP SOMEONE POOR IN ANY MANNER WHAT YOU HAVE IN YOUR HAND AND PACKET. Do not affraid to read this book. Read and think logically what it is saying.

What is Garuda Puranam,is there a story behind this. Please explain.

[Guest guest]

 

punishments given in hell when we commit a sin

 

I thought Hindus didnt believe in punishment to scare people to be good, rather they rationally explain the law of Karma (effects of ones action); and that bad actions will have bad effects in future lifetimes?

Radhe Krishna,

 

Garuda puraanam is read during the ten days of mourning after the death of a person.

the yathra of the dead person to the other lokaas in a different sharira is explained.

bhakthas reach the abode of their devatha after the death.

but those who have committed punya and paapa go to swarga and narakaa to enjoy for punyaa and suffer for paapaa respectively.

The yathra to yama loka is described in garuda puraana.

the jeeva is given a sharira called yaathanaa sharira - that is a body for suffering.

in this body which is meant for suffering, until the punisher the yama bhataas consider that the punishment is over, there is no death and only suffering.

 

Radhe krishna

 

Everyone has committed some paapa, except born saints? so devotees of for example the Christian God or Krsna will be forgiven and not have to go to narakaloka?

Namaste, namaskaram

Jaya Ganesha Who always Guides us on the Right Path!

 

The Vedic-Agamic Cosmology describes an inner and outer universe. There are 3 worlds, 14 planes, 5 spheres, and 36 evolutes.

 

The three worlds are:

1) Karana Loka or the Causal Plane

The Spiritual World

 

2) Antar Loka

The subtle plane or the astral plane

 

There is a higher, middle, and lower astral plane

as well as a sub-astral plane below Bhu-loka called Naraka

also known as Antar Loka or the netherworld

 

3) Bhu Loka

The Earth Plane

 

*******************************

 

Next, there are fourteen planes of existence:

7 planes of existence correspond to the seven chakras

or seven states of consciousness ABOVE the muladhara chakra

 

7 planes of existence BELOW the muladhara chakra

 

They are:

BHU LOKA

 

1) Bhu Loka

earth plane

muladhara chakra

 

in between Bhu and Bhuvar is Preta Loka

world of the departed

earth bound spirits

in the lower astral plane

aka Preta Loka

 

 

ANTAR LOKA

2) Bhuvar Loka

plane of atmosphere

svadhishthana chakra

includes

Pitr Loka, world of ancestors

in the middle lower astral plane

aka Pitr Loka

 

3) Svarga Loka

celestial plane

manipura chakra

middle astral plane

 

4) Mahar Loka

plane of greatness

anahata chakra

higher astral plane

aka Deva Loka

 

 

KARANA LOKA

5) Jana Loka

creative plane

visuddha chakra

 

6) Tapoloka

plane of austerity

ajna chakra

 

7) Satya Loka

plane of Reality

aka Brahma Loka

sahasrara chakra

 

Now, from BHU LOKA downward, there are 7 states of existence

or consciousness below the muladhara chakra

 

These planes of existence are called NARAKA LOKA

-1) plane of existence: Put

meaning: without bottom

atala chakra

Fear and lust

 

-2) plane of existence: Avichi

meaning: region of the lost

vitala chakra

Raging anger

 

-3) plane of existence: Samhata

meaning: great lower region

sutala chakra

Retaliatory jealousy

 

-4) plane of existence: Tamisra

meaning: under the bottom level

talatala chakra

Prolonged confusion

 

-5) plane of existence: Rijisha

meaning: lower region of moisture

rasatala chakra

Selfishness

 

-6) plane of existence: Kudmala

meaning: greatest lower region

mahatala chakra

Consciencelessness

 

-7) plane of existence: Kakola

meaning: lower region of wickedness

patala chakra

Malice and Murder

 

So you can see that hell is states of consciousness.

 

 

****************************

People are tortured in hell in this life by their consciousness. There are also

certain parts of this planet that have hellish conditions, say like in a War zone

primarily most of the people are in Naraka even they are on this earth. However in a war zone sometimes some people who are very highly evolved

can keep their consciousness above the muladhara chakra.

 

In addition, you can also see what happens to you after death. Whatever

your consciousness is at the time of death, you will attain that state without fail say some rsis. Other rsis say that whatever was the highest chakra you attained in this lifetime, then that is the chakra by which you will exit the human body.

 

So say a person is a Christian, it depends on their consciousness at the time of death and the highest chakra they attained in this life, as well as their sinful activities or papa. For example are they meat-eating Christians or

vegetarian who offer their food to the Almighty? Did they persecute and

harm people of other religions such as Hindu and Islam?

 

Also, were they cremated or were they buried in the Earth? If they were buried in the Earth then they will be Earth bound either Preta if very sinful

like meat-eating, womanizing, brute mentality after suffering in Naraka.

Or if somewhat pious, then attain Pitr Loka before reincarnating again.
