Publisher's Synopsis

Who knows what happens after death? Hinduism detailed this theory in Garuda Puraana in a conversation between Lord Vishnu and Garuda. That conversation is focused on the matters of death to birth and covers all those aspects in a succinct manner.This book is a translation of that Garuda Puraana, translated from its original Sanskrit version into contemporary American English keeping it as close to the original as humanly possible. Most Hindu scriptures were not written as a narration of the author. Take Raamayana, or Maha Bhaaratha or Srimadh Bhaagavatha, they are all reports of conversations between different characters presented in the book. The author does not express his interpretation or the feelings of the characters. The intention behind actions is rarely, if at all, mentioned. One can argue, that this style is adopted by the author to shift the onus from himself to the characters in the book. The other argument is that the author actually listened to the conversations and then recorded it dutifully.
