Garud Puran Path is a sacred and highly significant ritual in Sanatan Dharma, performed for the peace, guidance, and liberation of the departed soul. Garud Puran is one of the 18 Maha Puranas, presented as a divine dialogue between Lord Vishnu and Garud Dev. It explains profound truths about death, the journey of the soul after death, karma, punya (virtue), paap (sin), heaven, hell, rebirth, and the ultimate path to Moksha.

According to scriptures, reciting Garud Puran after a person’s demise helps the soul understand its karmic journey and move peacefully toward higher spiritual realms. It also provides clarity and strength to family members during the period of mourning. ShreeShivaAmba performs Garud Puran Path with complete scriptural discipline, ensuring that the ritual is conducted with compassion, purity, and Vedic correctness.

The recitation of Garud Puran removes fear related to death and helps both the departed soul and the family accept the universal law of karma with wisdom and faith. Listening to its teachings encourages righteous living and reminds individuals of the impermanent nature of life, inspiring spiritual awareness and detachment.

When to Perform Garud Puran Path

Traditionally, Garud Puran Path begins on the 4th day after a person’s death and continues until the 13th day, aligning with post-death rites prescribed in Hindu tradition. If circumstances do not allow, the path may also begin on the 7th or 9th day and continue until the 13th day. It is generally performed in the evening hours at home, creating a calm and devotional atmosphere.

Duration of Garud Puran Path

Garud Puran Path can be conducted:

• For 5, 7, or 10 days, depending on family customs
  
  
• In some traditions, a complete 13-day recitation is followed
  
  

ShreeShivaAmba guides families in selecting the appropriate duration based on tradition, comfort, and spiritual suitability.
