Garud Puran (or Garuda Purana) is one of the major Mahapuranas of Hindu literature, traditionally attributed to the sage Vyasa. It is presented as a conversation between Lord Vishnu and his divine vehicle, Garuda, the celestial eagle. The text covers a wide range of spiritual, philosophical, and practical subjects, making it unique among the Puranas. It discusses the nature of the soul, the universe, righteous living, and the consequences of actions according to the law of karma.

A distinctive part of the Garud Puran is its detailed description of what happens after death. It explains the journey of the soul, the concept of heaven and hell, and the results of one’s deeds. Because of these teachings, it is often read during mourning periods and funeral rites to provide insight into life, death, and rebirth. It seeks to help people understand impermanence and encourages living a moral and compassionate life.

Beyond afterlife teachings, the text also contains sections on medicine, gemstones, rituals, ethics, and yoga, showing how spiritual knowledge connects with day-to-day living. It emphasizes devotion to Vishnu, dharma (righteous conduct), and self-discipline as paths to liberation. Profound yet practical, Garud Puran serves as both a spiritual scripture and a philosophical guide, offering reflections on how to live meaningfully and how to face the mystery of death with understanding and faith.
