Sri Garuda Purana and Sri Skanda Purana

[Guest guest]

Jai Shri Krishna,

 

Namaste all guruji's,

 

Happy New year to all,

 

I request all the learned members, to put light on Sri Skanda Purana

and Sri Garuda Puran, i.e whether Sri Garuda purana can be kept at

home, whether its chapters can be read on regular basis (I am

asking, bcoz, generally this is suggested by Brahmins during the 12

days of someone's death)

 

It is told that this is to be started from 8th day onwards of death,

and to be completed by 12th day, suggested if someone dies due to

chronic ailments or sudden mishap etc, if it is read during this

period, the soul attains salvation.

 

Also i want to know abt Sri Skanda Purana

 

or any other reasons I want to know, i.e by reading these puranas on

regular basis, appeasment of planets is obtained, or blessings of

ancestors etc, please put some light on this

 

thanx

Dear Doulat Bhai,

 

Garuda Purana as you rightly mentioned is read when some one passes

in the family. Theres a very wrong Bhram (Misunderstanding) in the

minds of people, about it not being kept in the house. I

brought this for some Planet appeasement in my house, against strict

opposition of My own better half, but then read the passages to her,

and explained the good,one gets due to regular reading of theis Great

Purana. Of cpourse when someone passes away, then the Pundit reading

this Purana in the right manner as prescribed, will do good that time,

and not our reading. But in regular course if one reads the Garuda

Purana once in at least 3 months, then he will fear from committing

any sins.I wish to talk more about Garuda Purana another day as just

now occupied with some other matter., and also wish to quote from the

same. You need not think much about keeping one at home. Go to the

nearest Gita press,Book shop and buy one. It is good.and believe me,

I talk after having read the same,a couple of times and not from

hearsay.

 

About Skanda purana ,again shall talk some other day.

Same with MahaBharat, people say one should not keep this epic at

home, as it will create fights in the family members, but they

carelessly and conveniently forget from where the Bhagavad Gita

comes. You cannot then keep Ramayana also at home for similiar

reasons if we listen to their arguments.

See the world is big, people are many, opinions are many.

One should hear his consciences voice and let that decesion stay.

 

If You are interested please remind me about Garuda Purana after a

weeks time.

 

regards,

Bhaskar.
