The Garuda Purana: A Complete Guide to Life, Death and Beyond
What happens after death? Why do we fear death? What does ancient Indian wisdom teach us about the journey of the soul, karma, rebirth, and liberation?
The Garuda Purana is one of the eighteen Mahāpurāṇas and contains a fascinating blend of spiritual teachings, philosophy, mythology, ethics, rituals, cosmology, and reflections on life and death. Often associated with death and the afterlife, the text offers a much broader perspective on how human beings should live, act, and understand the deeper meaning of existence.
The Garuda Purana: A Complete Guide to Life, Death and Beyond presents these timeless ideas in a simple, accessible, and reader-friendly way.
