GARUDA PURANA

                                        GARUDA PURANA

The holy mythology which is so called “GARUDA PURANA” is a dictation which is dictated by the only lord of worlds “SRI HARI” who also have different names accordingly.This purana was dictated to GARUDA(the vehicle of lord sri hari),so this story had a title on the name of GARUDA...

GARUDA QUESTIONING SRI HARI :-

Once upon a time,Lord VISHNU (sri hari) who was resting upon his SESHA (many thousand headed serpent),GARUDA very curiously asked lord VISHNU about the path to hell.Then lord VISHNU started describing about the path...
Description of the hell:-

The path to hell is very dangerous,the one who performed sins,one who doesn’t care for cultures,one who betrays trusted ones,these are the ones who are deserved to get punished in the hell.
When such people die they were seperated by their soul and escorted to worship YAMA DHARMA (the god of hell),and they were brought back to the death place by the YAMA DUTHAS (men of YAMA DHARMA).The families of the soul should make a ritual of 13 days,which is a formality in HINDU CULTURE after death.
During these 13 day ritual,the soul suffers from thirst and hunger,after the ritual the soul is sent to the lord of hell(YAMA DHARMA).

And the one who doesn’t get the ritual done will remain as a ghost,then they get free from the torture in hell and remain as ghost untill the ritual is done.
The lord of hell checks the person’s sins that has done during his lifetime and torture him accordingly.

Then Garuda questions Vishnu:-
What is the purpose of the rituals..?
~Food helps in growth of human body.The dead body’s soul gets escorted by the YAMA DUTHAS to YAMAPURI (name of hell) after worshipping the lord,the soul gets back to make sure the rituals are done.In these 13 days,in count head for the first day,neck for second,chest for third,on fourth day back,sixthly stomach,on seventh day middle part, eighth day thighs,ninth day knees, lastly on tenth day foot,these are done accordingly per day.On the eleventh day,the body blood and flesh,will turn into sized of a square foot,and eat the ritualistic food.And they were taken back to hell.
According to human speed the soul is transferred to YAMAPURI,which is 96 crore YOJANA (a yojana is of min 12 to 14 kms) with a daily speed of 400 yojanas.
The path to hell is very deadly.
There’s no water for thirst,also with a way full of thorns,harmful venomous animals,crows and eagles,even the animals torture.After a lot of torture,we reach a river which flows in the hell,which is called VAITHARINI.

It’s very difficult to cross the river,the river is of 100 YOJANAS,the yama duthas torture us by throwing into the river and drag us,the river is full of blood and alligators,many more harmful creatures.The people there getting tortured,their shouting resounds.
Instead of getting tortured if they try to die,they cannot.The people there should get tortured before and after entering the hell.
The duthas says that”,you people were given a great birth as a human,and you made your life useless by performing sins,and continues torturing them.
The yama duthas makes MAJILI (which are stops during a very long journey).then they reach the hell after stopping at 16 MAJILI’s.
During the stays in a MAJILI,the rituals done by the families feed the particular person.
So,to feed the person in hell,their family must perfom,monthly,three months,six months,and finally an yearly ritual to feed the member of the family who’s suffering of hunger and thirst,till he reaches the hell.
DESCRIPTION OF YAMAPURI:-
The residence of yama is called as SHAMANAPURAM. The area has four entrances from which the sinners are taken from the south entrance,the entrance has a watchman who is so called DAMBHADHWAJA.
He gives the info of the attendees to the hell for CHITRAGUPTHA (the minister of YAMA).then he goes on collecting the info about the person.

SHRAVANA is the one who collects the sins done by the person,and also the one who punishes them accordingly.All the men’s are to be mentioned by him,and all the women are to be mentioned by his wife,called ASHANTHI. Both of them reveal the sins of the people before YAMA.
They were called as reflection of CHITRAGUPTHA. After listening to them, the lord of hell presents his structure...
“HE HAS A FEARFUL STRUCTURE OF 3 YOJANAS HEIGHT,32 HANDED BODY,AND SEATED ON THE SAME HEIGHTENED BULL”.

By looking at him all the guards and CHITRAGUPTHA started screaming.all the people over their starts sobbing for the unbearable loud screamings.
The people there realise their sins and feel bad for themselves.
TYPES OF SINS IN PRESENT ERA:-
In the cycle of global consciousness we’re in the fourth yuga which is called KALI YUGA.

In the past three eras the people were very obedient to their kingship and families.Many of them stand towards good,being truthful,helpfulness,but a few offended being loyal. Also they were punished accordingly by their kings.But this Era is a different one when compared.In this everyone’s forgot the good and most get addicted to bad,women roam without any hesitation with men,justice,fear,nothing is counted in this era.Making and breaking relations will be a piece of cake for this era.
Fear to god,parents,society,governments,
everything’s a small issue which this era people could think that it could get sorted easily.
Murdering bramhins,cows,foetal killing,robbing others things,neglecting cultures,ATHEISTIC culture could grow up,
And many more...
SHAMANA will punish the culprits accordingly...
TYPES OF HELL:-
There are two types of hells,in which they are separated by HELL and SUBHELL,18 types of HELL,and uncountable Numbered SUBHELL.
Then Garuda questioned Vishnu such,”what is main reason to perform a sin”...
“Inordinate affection towards nature,in which the nature is a reflection of a woman.so women are the main cause of a sin...
The culprits were escorted to the prime hall of the YAMA palace in hell,accordingly through different entrances.
The ones who doesn’t commit any sin would get the guest courtesy by lord YAMA...
