18 Mahapurans have special significance in Hinduism and one of them is Garuda Purana. Most people consider it a book read after death, but the truth is that the Garuda Purana is not limited to the mysteries of death, but it is a wonderful book full of esoteric formulas of living arts, health, mental peace, positive thinking and balanced lifestyle. If it is read and assimilated carefully, it not only gives direction to our thinking, but also inspires life to live with health and balance.
Health -related sources which are relevant even today
According to Garuda Purana, the body is a superior medium for humans – to do karma, to follow religion and attain salvation. Therefore, its conservation is very important. It is written in the book that a person can live longevity and healthy life only through regular routine, time -balanced diet, hygiene and yoga practice. It also matches today’s modern health science, which emphasizes these things to prevent lifestyle diseases.
Base of mental peace and positive thinking
It is said in the Garuda Purana that the destruction of a person is certain with negative thoughts. Anger, malice, greed and ego – These four mental disorders weaken the person’s energy and also drop his social reputation. The book also states that a person who is forgiving, adopts humility and helps others, his life is filled with joy. These are extremely essential qualities for mental health which are also accepted by psychologists of today.
Food rules that are the root of health
It is clearly stated in the Garuda Purana that ‘like food, like mind’. That is, intake of pure, sattvic and fresh food not only gives energy to the body, but also makes the mind stable. Junk food, more spicy or stale food gives rise to diseases in the body and brings instability in the mind. This book teaches how food is not only a means of filling the stomach, but also affects the soul.
Message of balance in relationships and social life
Garuda Purana describes special importance of restraint, service and equality in family and society. This book teaches us how a good person should understand and perform his duties towards his parents, gurus, spouse and society. Service and philanthropy are described as the best religion. These things lead us to a tolerant, kind and collaborative society.
Garuda Purana is associated with life, not by death
Even though most people consider Garuda Purana to be a book -reading book at the time of death, it actually guides understanding life and living it better. It explains us the existence of the soul, the fruits of deeds, and the principle of rebirth and also tells how to live in this life so that the next life is even more superior.
