    #The Resham A Series(Hindu Mythology).

    By Manoj Kumar(hseguru@yahoo.in.,Alstom University’s certified EHS Professional).

    There are 19,000 verses in Garuda Purana. But at present only a total
    of 8,000 verses are available in the manuscripts. This Purana is divided into
    two parts, Purvakhanda and Uttarakhanda. There are 229 chapters in the
    Purvakhand. The number of chapters in Uttarakhand ranges from 34 to 49.
    The pre-section is also called the conduct section. Uttarakhand is also called
    ‘Pretkhand’ or ‘Pretkalp’.
    90 percent of the content of Garuda Purana is in Purvakhand, and 10 percent
    of the content is in Uttarkhand. Various subjects have been included in the
    Purvakhand of Garuda Purana. It contains stories related to creatures and life.
    In Pretkhand, there are stories related to the movement of the soul after the
    death of the main person and the deeds associated with it. The Garuda
    Purana is not the same as the Puranas referred to in Indian literature. The
    stories described in this Purana were narrated by Lord Vishnu to his vehicle
    Garuda. Then Garudji narrated it to Maharishi Kashyap.
    The pre-section of Garuda Purana describes the methods of devotion and
    worship of Lord Vishnu. In Pretkhand, along with the detailed description of
    pret kalpa, the description of the going of the soul to different hells is found. In
    this, what is the speed of the soul after death, the description of the kind of
    species in which the soul is born, the description of how it is freed from the
    ghost form, and the description of how to get salvation from the pain of the
    hells, etc. have gone?

    Garuda Purana story: –


    The bird king Garuda is called the vehicle of Lord Shri Hari Vishnu. Once the
    king of birds Garuda asked Lord Vishnu a question that there are many
    mysterious and mysterious things related to the condition of living beings after
    death, the journey of the living being to Yamaloka, the hells, vaginas, and the
    plight of the sinners obtained from various deeds.
    The wise advice given by Lord Vishnu to Garudji to calm his curiosity, this
    wise advice is called Garuda Purana. It was only on asking questions of
    Garudji that Lord Vishnu himself revealed the deep secrets and ultimate
    welfare words after death. This Purana prescribed by Lord Shri Hari Vishnu is
    mainly Vaishnava Purana. Garuda Purana’s knowledge was narrated by
    Brahmaji to Maharishi Ved Vyas. After that, Maharishi Ved Vyas had given it
    to his disciple Maharishi Sutji and Maharishi Sutji had given it to Shaunkadi
    sages in Naimisharanya.
    Among the sixteen samskaras of Hinduism, three before birth, four during the
    lifetime, and one after death, the last i.e. funeral ritual, which is related to
    cremation and other rituals. According to ‘Matsyapuran’, the soul of the
    deceased remains in the vicinity of his residence and relatives for twelve days
    after his death. The soul of the deceased also enters the body of the priest
    conducting the funeral rites in the form of a deity. According to the scriptures,
    the soul of the deceased listens to the story of Garudpuran so that it can get
    salvation. According to ‘Pitrimedha Sutra’, just as a man gets victory in life by
    the discharge of rituals, in the same way, the dead get heaven by the
    discharge of funeral rituals after death.
    There are two samskaras in the form of debt for every person, which are
    mandatory to be performed, first – birth-related rituals and second-funeral
    rituals.
