Doulat Jai Shri Krishna Bhaskar <bhaskar_jyotish (AT) (DOT) co.in> wrote: 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. , "doulat1" <doulat1 wrote: > > 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 > > > Doulat > > > Jai Shri Krishna > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 Dear Daulat Bhai and Anand Bhai, Jai Shri Krishna. Tried to write a very short resume,but its turned out little long. nevertheless you will find the topics interesting. I am sorry the translations and English used may not be polished because am trying to translate from Hindi and cant waste time trying to search for very good sounding impressive words, as long as the essence is understood, thats all that matters. Garuda Purana- Gita Press Publication - Costing Rs.18- only 250Pages in large type Hindi printing easy to Read with Shlokas and the translations given with explanation below each shloka. On the 5th Page of this Great Publication, its clearly mentioned in Hindi that whoever listens in any way, to the Garuda Purana, he will be free from the terrible atrocities unveiled on us by The Great YamaRaja (Due to our sins), and the person will be free from Sins and attain the Heavens. " Puranam Garudam Punyam Pavitram Paapnashnam Shranavtam Kaamnapuram Shrotavyam Sarvadeva Hi " This Purana provides Sadgati(Proper Path) and Moksha to our Ancestors, Fulfills the wishes, Grants happiness of both this Loka (Earth) and Parloka (Heavenly abodes). Those who hear this Pure Purana or read for others,both the Teller and the listener are free from Sins and never go to Durgati (Bad abodes). (Therefore) samasta Dukho ko Vinash karnewala (Destroyer of all unhappiness and sorrows) and Dharma,Artha,Kaama and Moksha pradaan karne wale is Chaturvidha (Giver of Four prized possessions on Earth), Purushartha ko Prapta karanewale , is Garuda Purana Pret Kalpa ko vishesh Prayatana karke avashya hi sunna chahiye (The Garuda Purana must be certainly read by the seekers). >From Chapters 1-5 - Dialogues between Lord Vishnu and Garuda, the problems faced when one leaves the body after death, the results which a sinner will have to face for various sins committed and the punishments thereof (Most will stop eying his neighbours wife or friends wife, once he reads what happens to such sinners). What body is given up there to bear the punishments. How is the road (Actual Road) to walk afterdeath, Vaitarna Nadi, Its attributes, 16 puris (Towns - Gates of This Road) , How the results are received by the dead person through Pindadaan made by Sons after ones death. Meeting of ChitraGupta and descriptions of actions done by the native conveyed to the followers of DharmaRaja and after listening to this, the punishment decided for the dead person. The actions committed on Earth which lead Man to Hell. Which sin will lead to which Yoni and which diseases. Chapters 6-13 - the sorrows of a child in mothers womb. His memory of old births in mothers womb,The Promise of the soul to God not to commit any sins in future ,Soon forgotten when once out of the womb, due to influence of Vaishnavi Mayadevi. The importance of a Son, Mukti derived through others Pindadana in absence of a son, Story of Raja Babhruvahan and a soul. The importance of Donations and taking Gods name at time of Death, the result of ashtaMahadanas ( 8 Great Offerings),way of religious living. What should be done when a person dies/nearing death or when dead. The full Vedic process of the instructions to be followed. What are the rules to be followed after death, each day for the family members including the 11th day. The importance of Shradha at Gaya. Chapter 14-17 The description of Yama Loka (The city of Lord of Death) and the court of Yama-Yama Sabha. Description of ChitraGupta and other mansions. The four Gates of DharmarajNagar. Pious souls allowed entry into the Court of DharmaRaj. The re-birth of Pious souls after enjoying the pleasures in the heavens, into highly elevated families and cultures. The Importance of Bhakti Yoga to achieve one ness with God, or get back to Godhead. The beneficial attributes of attaining the special human body, Main duties in this body, Nature of body and the Maya of this world, and temporary nature of all, attainment of Moksha. Garuda Purana- The Mahima of Shravan or phala. (Result of reading or hearing Garuda Purana). Please remember that just like The Bhagavad Gita has come from the ShriMukh of Lord Krishna himself, in the same way the Garuda Purana is told by Lord Vishnu Himself to Garudaji when once Lord Vishnu was resting in Vaikuntha and Garudji requested Lord Vishnu to know about the Yama Marg which earthly men go through after death. Best wishes for a Knowledge Reading after You buy this publication, and do not forget to bless me afetr this.
