Garuda Purana

Compiled by: B.K. Chaturvedi 
Published by: Diamond books 

Details: Garuda Purana is one of the most sacred Mahapuranas for the devout Hindus. It gains importance because of a single factor: It is the only PUrana which gives a detailed description of the postmortem conditions and rituals as believed by this faith. However, it is a belief as spread by the dogmatic priestly class. 

The fact is that the Garuda Purana contains many more details other than these. It reveals the consequences of an action in a very graphic and logical way. While most of the puranas tell one what to do, it also tells us what one should not do. 

Puranas are almost like an encyclopedia listing the human achievements in this part of the world till the time they were edited or compiled. In every cycled of time the master editor called Vedavyas emerges to edit, vet and compile these records. Their significance is enormous even in the present, as they give a peep into the distant past of Hindus when the world was evolving and the psyche of the race was being formed. These Puranas record the arguments that make us to decide as to what is holy and what is vile; what is good and what is bad. By going through them we can compare our present day jurisprudence vis-vis the ancient norms. Apart from that , they are a huge store-house of information conceiving every subject under the sun. It is with the view of unearthing these gems that the present series of the puranas has been planned.
