“Jeevan ke rahasya aur mrityu ke baad ke gyaan ka divya granth”

The Garud Puran is one of the eighteen Mahapuranas in Hinduism, narrated by Lord Vishnu to Garud ji, his divine vehicle. It is a sacred scripture that offers deep insights into life, death, karma, rebirth, and moksha. The Garud Puran Katha is often recited after the passing of a loved one, but it is equally valuable for anyone seeking spiritual wisdom and understanding of the soul’s journey.
