What is Garud Puran Path?
Garud Puran Path is the recitation of the Garuda Purana, a text in which Lord Vishnu explains to Garuda the journey of the soul after death, the duties of the family and the meaning of the rites that follow. In many North Indian families it is read during the thirteen days after a death, usually in the afternoon or evening, with the family listening together.
A Pandit reads the relevant chapters in Sanskrit and explains them in Hindi or English, so the family can follow the meaning. Many families find the daily reading a source of quiet reflection and support during a difficult time.
Our Pandits conduct Garud Puran Path at your home in Varanasi, Hyderabad or Bangalore, and it can also be arranged online for family members who are in different cities or countries.
Significance
Traditionally, the Garuda Purana is read so that the departed soul may find peace and move forward on its journey, and so that the family understands the rites they are performing. It is regarded as a way of honouring the departed with knowledge and prayer.
For the family, the daily reading brings everyone together, gives structure to the days of mourning and offers perspective on life, death and duty.
ॐ पितृभ्यः स्वधायिभ्यः स्वधा नमः॥
