Death and the Soul's Journey: The Garuda Purana explains that at the moment of death, the soul (aatma) departs from the body, guided by the messengers of Yama, the god of death. The journey involves traversing various planes and facing the consequences of one's actions (karma).

Yama’s Kingdom: The soul is taken to the realm of Yama, where it is judged based on the deeds performed during its lifetime. This judgment determines the soul's next destination, which could be liberation (moksha) or rebirth.

Punishments and Rewards: The text describes vivid depictions of different hells (narakas) where souls face punishments corresponding to their misdeeds. It also mentions rewards in various heavens (swarga) for virtuous acts.

Rituals and Piety: The Garuda Purana emphasizes the importance of performing death rituals (antyeshti), which help the soul attain peace and move smoothly through the stages of the afterlife. Rituals like Shraddha and Pinda daan are said to support the departed soul’s journey and ensure its favorable rebirth or liberation.

Stages of Liberation: The ultimate goal described is achieving moksha, liberation from the cycle of birth and death. The Garuda Purana teaches that righteous living and spiritual knowledge can lead to this release.

Symbolism and Guidance: It also serves as a spiritual guide for the living, encouraging moral conduct and devotion to prepare for eventual death and afterlife transition.

The Garuda Purana holds a significant place in Hindu culture for its teachings on the nature of existence, the impact of karma, and the spiritual practices necessary for preparing for death and supporting the deceased.
