About this app

Garuda Purana is one of the Puranas which are part of the Hindu body of texts known as smriti. It is a Vaishnava Purana and its first part contains a dialog between Vishnu and Garuda, the King of Birds. The second half contains details of life after death, funeral rites and the metaphysics of reincarnation, thus it is recited as a part Antyesti (Antim Sanskar) or funeral rites (funeral liturgy) in Hinduism.

After Death:
When the subtle body is leaving the gross body, which is known as death, the messengers of Yama arrive on the scene. When the subtle body finally
comes out of the gross body, causing death of the gross body, the subtle body is still able to see the entire universe. The departed soul could
see the messengers of Yama and the attendants of Lord Vishnu. This means that the soul can see both good and bad and the departed soul begins its
journey according to its karma. A subtle body which has a bad karmic account feels for its sins at this stage. A soul has to travel the entire
distance to reach the world of Yama. The path becomes rough for the sinners and the path becomes comfortable for virtuous.

Yamaraja:
