(2) Andhatamtrsam(Flogging)-This Hell is reserved for the Husband or the Wife who only treat their spouses well when they are to profit or pleasure to them. Those who forsake their wives and husbands for no apparent reasons are also sent here.

If they run about under the flogging, they will trip over the stones and thorns, to fall on their faces. Then they are stabbed with knives until they drop unconscious, When they recover, the same process is repeated until their time is up in this Naraka.

Hey Archana,
Even i read the purana, But if u think practically, Logically & Scientifically, what ever u say.. the minute died, ur soul will be departed from ur body.
Then your body will be on earth & will be creamated as per various dharmas ( burried / fired etc..)
And soul will reach Naraka / swarga depending on ur past credit ( as per Hindhu darhma)
But How soul will come to know the pain of all the punishments, as it is just air, no shape, not touchable etc..
I have this query from long back..Let me know if u got the ans to this...
How soul can be punished...?will soul be having sense like thirst, hungry, cold, hot etc..?
As per Krishna's Bagwad Gita, Sould doesn't have any of the qualities..,
dude . .
if u read garuda purana carefully the answer is there in it. .
i guess in 3rd chap . . .
the rice balls which they will keep 4 11 days make the body and it will suffer the pain . .
it is all true :)
intresting......
what about the living beings (micro organisms) which di when we inhale? are we going to punished for this too?
Nope.If im not sure !@
it is believed that even microbes have souls which come out after their death.
some Scientists say that soul is nothing but "An Energy",which can neither be created nor destroyed.That comes out of d body after d death .
hello evryone.........well hell differs with religion r not....i mean hindus have seperate hell n muslims have seperate hell etc....well lemme tell u....in earth 100 years=----- minutes in the supernatural world which we r talking as hell and heaven.......according to my investigation after death soul comes out of the body and what happens den.......no body cannot conclude soul after death...hell and heaven are not there in real.......don get me wrong there r only holy hollosinations of every soul which pretends da soul in unreality....its all the project of great god.....according 2 soul beliefs on the earth they were sent 2 hell hollosination and heaven hollosination which were virtual realities shown by god.......like da drama on earth another drams starts there which we cannot come out of it.....god the father dont pain his children he only shows the right way of surviving in dis soulful world....he acts both in da hell and heaven hallosinations as torture and happy- santhosh
WELL Everything is good.but plz dnt post any bloody stuff that differentiates ppl on d name of religion."All r 1"
read that again.....i said soul does not refer 2 religion it only refers 2 god in indirect sense..i said "if u bleave in garuda puranam then ur soul will continue 2 bleave it even after death n if i bleave in any other purana my soul may bleave in another way......finally what i wanna say is there are only hollosinations.....jus bleave in god....do meditation its tells what ur and what garuda purana is ....what happens 2 soul after death
" .....jus bleave in god....do meditation its tells what ur and what garuda purana is ....what happens 2 soul after death "
AGREED !
ITS ALL LITTLE BIT CONFUSING EVERYBODY IN THIS WORLD MIGHT HAVE BEEN DONE MISATKES KNOWINGLY OR UNKNOWINGLY IF ALL R PUNISHED WHO HAVE DONE MISTAKE MEANS WHOLE WORLD LL BE PUNISHED
Certainly ! We Reap what We sow.

hi archana its a superb site ,..........i will certanily change myself ......i have a small query .that is .....all relegious gurus ..say that u will repent for all bad activities in your present lifeform.........then why this tormentation takes place in hell when we have cleared all old accounts .....in this life ......plz a reply is a must .......KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK
"yatha karma tatha phal" - "You reap what you sow"
After death, thats true that body will not b with us but they give us a different body in paatal lok and in that body, death never comes but the thing is, u will feel the same pain as u feel now if u touch hot oil or fire. But u can follow 4 Regulative principles by which u can get free from lakhs of Janmas. the Principles are as follows
1) No meat eating (even egg)
2) No Intoxication (alcohol, smoke, tobacco,etc)
3) No illicit sex
4) No Gambling.
By following these principles u will b free from 84,00,000 lakhs of janmas... and the Sins that u have done in past, for that u have to Pray to Chaitanya mahaprabhu. He is the lord of Mercy. They will forgive u for every sin u did in past. but the only thing is u shud never commit that sin again knowingly. and if u want more then u can start chanting the Mahamantra 108 times
the mahamantra is
"Hare Krishna Hare Krishna
Krishna Krishna Hare hare,
Hare Rama Hare Rama
Rama Rama Hare Hare."
If good Karmas r more than bad then u will not b suffering lakhs of karmas. u will again b having a birth of a Human being. Good Luck
Archana, My wishes to you. I have seen some person put this query but the answer is not as simple as that- 'Why man has to suffer again after death though it is said he has to pay off for all his sins in Kaliyuga during his life time on this earth?'. Perhaps i have a different answer.
To ease understanding i say our sins are like instalments, terms and conditions put forth to us by God. We make a choice of it and we take rebirth. God wanted to shape us and that the soul should be free from all sins when the man gets back to a new body. If the soul reaslises from what it had done in his previous janma, it;s next birth is chosen there. After all, god is most powerful he knows what u said was true or just bluffing. Yes, our soul is neither created nor destroyed but it can change it's form right? I hope you guys might have got it. U make a choice, god decides what u made was correct, finally he justifies, give us an opportunity, forgives and offers a new body- The next Janma. U may be a Man, Woman, Cow, Ox, Dog, Pig or cursed. I think i have gone too deep into the top. Here i end. Plz forgive if there are any mistakes crept in. I just wanted to express, Thanks all
I just read n wanna share...Acc 2 karma sidhanta.....
Aagaamya, Sanchita and Prarabda are the three kinds of karma. There are some karmas that would yield fruit in this same birth; there are some others which would yield fruit only in the ensuing births; there are some karmas which would yield partly in this birth and partly in the ensuing births. This is another division of karma into three parts.
Hi Archana..when we die, it is a death of the body and not soul.., soul is always pure, its the essence of all life. As per this puran there are punishments 4 various sins committed. As per indian sprituality these sins are committed by our unconcious ego even though wilfully committed. whan we do is powered by our ego- the false sense of who we are. garuda puran is the punishment for body but the truth is that we are A SOUL.. if garuda purana is to be followed then Lord Rama Should also be punished by boycotting Sita which comes under - not trusting your wive & leaving her.. plz reply
what if we love somebody who has helped u wen i wanted to end up my life wen husband has troubled to death and got back to husband becoz i departed from the person who helped and whom i loved for various reasons and want to be with him atleast once in a year is wrong . what punishment will i get. i craze is not for sex but real quality love with him,
there is 1 persons called kaal monitaring all these paaps and punyas.he himself gives death to 1,25,000 lives and born 1,00,000 lives. ther is soul whch comes from place called satlok.....kaal is the ruler of this uviverse situated in a our body called manam(solar plexis)..but he cant do anything if a person manage to connect to satlok by meditating for more info connect:

great work dear.....whatever may be the reality, but if (in fear) people don't commit all these sins, I think the world would be more peaceful than the SATYUGA too...
Calling parasthri as Dear' is also a sin but it is a Formality in our Corporate word,in this Contemporary India !
Edi dharmam? edi nyayam? what is what?may god guide all of us in d form of 'conscience' and we all follow it.Ommmmmmmm
what written in garud puran is true.i think you people not exprienced the encidence when a people wrongly taken to the narka
and after knowing their time not come for death are thrown from the narka.and having the signs of punishment on their real body.this incidence happened with my aunt's neigbour in kadi taluka,mehsana district,state gujarat.
so archana madam is right proven hear.

Friends People have doughts that how a soul can be punished How soul Could get pain etc After our death Our soul will Get a Form called YATANA SARERAM ( Body with 1000 Times sensitive than normal body,elastic body when they cut it fixes but pain remains,when burned wont effect pain remains etc... Specially designed body for defaulters SO be aware vijaychowdary999@gmail.com
great job Archana...
HI Archana
Great. After going through all comments, I have something to say . As told by sri krishna bhagavan in Bhagavadgita (telugu),swadarmamu edainanu manchidi kani paradarmamu bayankaramainadi. and also karma cheyuta ende manaku adikaaramu unnadi kaani dani palamu meda kaadu. atlani karma cheyuta maanaradu.
from this it is clearly understood that whatever one has to do, has to be done. no one can change it. but do everything in the name of god. that tells us what is correct and whai is not. before doing something or before starting some action, just do bhagavan smaran, that really tells us whether we do right or not taht is swadarm. and rest all leave to him. that is we neednot think about sins.
Thank You sunil bhai.Greatly said.Perfect.
i'm very much happy reading data u've presented.... Thank u very much for the great information to perfect myself..
Archana Iam greatly thankful to you for giving me such valuable knowledge about life. Pls carry on sharing the knowledge of holybooks so that people have changes in there lifes.
A simple question-
"Garud Puran gives a description about the life after death i.e. to experience all this,you ought to be dead..then on what basis could you conclude all this even though you are living, and not dead?!"
NOTE : have used the word "you" in general,not to be taken personally.
dear friends,
everyone expressed how after death we will experience pain with out a body ???
yes, we can experience, just how we experience our dreams. where we will laugh, cry, smell...and fell the sense as it was real. similarly the NARAK or SWARGAM are the dream stage when we die and take another re-birth. The things what we do in our daily life will be reflected as dreams. Like wise if you do goodthings the dreams are good and they were swargam and in vise-versa
what you guys say about this ...?

if Garud Puran holds true,then abiding it's terms and conditions technically even Gods must have faced punishments...!
who is God ? not a stupid (human) like U n me.to have kama,kroda,moha,madha n madyam to SIN !
God is Power...smetng aboveee ALLL..
smetng very great energy which is beyond everytng in r univerrse,beyond galaxieS...
we are unable to find what is Higgs boson...but we speak abt God as if.....wat a fun !
oh then Lord Shankar beheading an elephant and fixing it's head onto His child Lord Ganesh who was also beheaded by Him earlier when gaurding His mother, Parvati ...why couldn't it be considered as a sin then?
itz a boon given 2 elephant by shiva himslef.
and Lord ganesha is not born from kama as u ,me n all of us now are takng life ...
godz dont have that Moha (Attachment) for worldly thngs. God is an Energy as per Archana Vedantam's Conscience.my heart doesnt go by the Stories i listn from ppl...
u better go thrugh the shiva purana or the Concerned text related 2 it,then u dnt get this query.
In every Sacred story,itz indirecty Xpalind D 'Law of KARMA',& The Power Of GOOD .also role of God.Only that much i understand from the 'katha's i got 2 know.
Madam Archanaji I read your comments and thanx with heart for your nice explanations. But one thing sister What I wish to tell you, You said Para stree calling dear also Maha Papam, dear need not to be lover, even a mother or sister, brother also can be called as dear. Dear will be used with an intention of near heart touching people only. Need not to have bad opinion. Because several times I call my Mum and Dad as my lovely mum and dear dad ok sister.
Regarding Garuda Puranam you have given a beautiful explanations, I do not know what is your age, and who is your Guru, let me salute to your Great Guru and such a marvellous parents who gave birth like you "Pavithra Athma". Next life is there I bet Almighty to give birth in your Womb. Jai Sri. Ram, Jai Jai Sri. Ram. OM Namo Bhagavathe Vasudeva, Sarve Jana Sukhino Bhavanthu.. Lokaa samasthaa sukhino Bhavanthuuu.
Thank You Brotherji ....
ati sarvatra varjayet !
Acc 2 me, a stranger cannot cal a 'Sthre' girl as Dear.. !

Great Blog! Excellent information was shared and discussed in this blog. Truly, must suggest everyone to follow this blog. Good Work Archana akka.
Thank You..
Very Informative article didi !
There is no doubt and words of appreciation for Archana and all those you have positively commented and have taken time in reading the List Of Punishments for our Sins -- Garuda Purana. It is great to come across such a thing on internet.
Many a times I have gone mad and silent when I think deeply about God, His aims & ideas of forming this world, creating humans, changing of the various periods (Yugas) Satya - 17,28,000 years, Treta - 12,96,000 years, Dwapar - 8,64,000 years & Kali - 4,32,000 years. On this one can say the life of this world is 43,20,000. Everywhere & to whomever I asked why was there a need of my birth & rebirth? The only answer was because of my sins & deeds. I am still finding it hard to understand how my 1st birth was being possible when there was not a single sin. If we talk about ATMA, why was the ATMA created at all when there wasn’t any existence of it and so no sins.
Also everything that is taking place on this earth is pre carved & written by power. Many people say we should work hard to get the fruits and better results. However, when I meet great astrologers they tell everything about the past & future like a live match & surprisingly not a minor thing has been incorrect. Lord Krishna says in Srimad Bhagavad-Gita that every human is free to perform actions, he has complete control on his own actions. However, on the other sides, God says without my willingness & permission not the most tiny article can do anything and secondly how can astrology predict everything correctly that will take place in future. One of the most shocking true incidents of my own life, “I was in one of the metros and was jobless for 6 months. My mom visited an astrologer, and he predicted that on the 7 days I will get an excellent job in an international bank, huge pay scale and everyone in our family will be very happy. However, this job will be lost exactly after 7 month without any reason”. There after I will stop believing in God & all religious things for 2 years. Even if someone talks about any of these things I will get angry. During the 2 years I will run away from home for 2 days. You readers might be surprised that everything took place exactly. So any per Gita where is the action for freedom? Everything is per and we are just acting under the hands of GOD. Everyone has his own good & bad lucks.
dear frnds, why to disucuss if you have faith on this, live according to this . If not just live in your own way
dear friends , i trust in OSHO pls go through his book telugu version of "JOY-ANANDAM", What he said belive in this movement how u lives this movement gives u joy do it !!! if not dont!!!! this movement is only real not the past or future. But before enjoying this movement think whether anybody is hurt by you ????
"Sinners are sent to the Various Narakas(Hells) by Yamadharma
according to their nature and seriousness of their Sins. There is a
total of 28 Narakas.
(6) Kalasutram( Hot as hell)- This hell is terribly hot. Those who
don’t respect their elders esp. when their elders have done their
duties are sent here. Here they are made to run around in this
unbearable heat and drop down exhausted from time to time.
(12) Salmali(Embracing hot images)-This Naraka is intended for men and
women who have committed adultery. A figure made of iron, heated
red-hot is placed there. The sinner is forced to embrace it, while
Yama’s servants flog the victim behind.
(21) Ayahpanam(Drinking of burning substances)- Those who consume
alcohol and other intoxicating drinks are sent here. The women are
forced to drink melted iron in liquid form, whereas the men will be
forced to drink hot liquid molten lava for every time they consume a
alcoholic drink in their earthly lives.
(7) Asitapatram(sharp flogging)- This is the hell in which sinners
abandon one’s own duty. They are flogged by Yama’s Servants with whips
made of asipatra (sharp-edged sword-shaped leaves). If they run about
under the flogging, they will trip over the stones and thorns, to fall
on their faces. Then they are stabbed with knives until they drop
unconscious, When they recover, the same process is repeated until
their time is up in this Naraka.
(28) Sucimukham(Tortured by needles)- Proud and Miserly people who
refuse to spend money even for the basic necessities of life, like
better food or buying food for their relations or friends will find
their place in this hell. Those who do not repay the money they have
borrowed will also be cast into this hell. Here, their bodies will be
constantly be pricked and pierced by needles.
Sinners who have committed more than one of the sins listed above will
be sent to all the various hell. once their period for one ends, the
other will begin. Some of these Narakas have different punishments for
the same sins.
Hello Archana, i came to know about the Narakas(Hell) of different types by u.
Do u believe in different types of Hell?
There is a punishment for Adultery in Puran.
But what is the definition of Adultery?
I am bit confused about the punishment he ad to go through bu Garuda puranam dn the birth and living status in the current janmam. If I had gone through all the punishments and pleasure in the hell and heaven why a child born and live in such a bad condition's and other one in so well to do and healthy condition> can you please clear my doubts?
Adultry - acc to my heart ,itz wrong thought,word or deed in relatn to Opposite gender.
what is wrong - we all have sme inbuilt software inside heart which says,"No this is wrong..." ,which tells us wat all r wrong...
@ anonymous 2 -
I believe that we are born to clear our Debts and will go through the Cycle of births..Till all our debts are Cleared...and Final Climax - Once i get 2 know,i will share 4 sure
Easy to finalise this.....
If you do good, God will Bless you ,
If you do bad, God will Blast you,
if you being kind to everything, Heaven's awaits you at the end,
if you being evil to everything, Hell is for you till the end,
Hell on earth is greater than external hell when you are evil.
Very true...Knowing this much is Enough to live in heaven's path..
nice blog.
acc to 22 punishment killing animals in sacrifices is a sin. But in many yajnyas animals r sacrificed and their meat is eaten by the acharya. manusmriti says a brahmin can eat non veg only during 3 occasions viz.,during sacrifices, shraddha and another some time indicating animal sacrifices and eating their meat is allowed. And v can c dis in ashwamedha where the horse is killed after the yajnya and also in some yajnya the acharya eats the goats liver which was sacrificed. So doesnt it contradict with what u have told?
nice blog.

Great work done by you sis Archana by not only providing the information about the life after death as it can be easily accesed on Google merely by typing garun Purana but the platform you provided tothe people to discuss their thoughts and belief is remarkable . I would also like o appreciate your sprit for replying almost each and every question asked by other brothers and sisters.
For those who are asking the proof of life in Hell as explained in Puran i can just say that Continue doing all the thing in same way as you are doing, you'll get your answer very soon . God bless all

Saurabh Annaji,
ThanQ 4 that prayer which means -
"Om, May All become Happy,
May All become free from Illness.
May All see what is Auspicious,
Let no one Suffer.
Om Peace, Peace, Peace...."
I feel it Indirectly says - Peace will b 4 D one whoz free 4m sufferng & illness..and D one who sees Auspicious is free 4m Suffering...and He whoz That is Happy...May we all understand it n Live HAPPY :)
Ranjith JI,
I dnt feel it is contradictng G.p bcoz i feel they Kill those animals to take their Sin unto their Lives ,wishing it vl have a Human Life after this sacrifise as sme of itz sins are takenaway by Men who do that....
eg - King Rama n Seeta devi suffered all their Lives but vt their sacifises ,people of that kingdom lived happiely.
Who perform sacrifises r Purohitas (para+hita - 4 gud of others)
Hello Archana Garu,
My name is Kiran K guditi, today I was browsing to find more about 'Garuda Purana' and stumbled across your blog. Thank you for posting the information about the Garuda Purana, though I read it some where else before, it was refreshing to read it again.
In this regard I wish to say a few words which I understand so far...
* Based on ones actions in this life we reap the the cosequences either in this or next and/or in between lives.
* Human body is made of gross body + subtle body (Made up of mind, intellegience, ego, soul)
* Hellish conditions are only there for human beings because we are given the power of free will and if we miss use this freedom we have to pay the price. (animals and plants do not incurr sin due to their nature)
* So it is true that by default one is destined to suffer in the hellish planets in subtle body form , there is a way as one can avoid if they are sincere in their endeavours.
* If one believes in the sastras, we can see many examples one of which is the incident of Ajamila in Srimad Bhagavatam. Eventhough Ajamila was born in a brahmin family, due to association with low character woman, he falls down from the mode of goodness and commits many sins. He starts harrasing people, killing animals, stealing, left his wife and started living with this new woman.
He has many children with this woman and the name of his last child was Narayana.
When AGamila was old and the death nears him, he sees very big horrifing creatures coming near to him and plan to take him. Horrified.. Ajamila calls for his last and dear son 'Narayana'. These frightning creatures are none other that Yamadutas came to take him to didfferent Narakas. But because he has uttered the name of Narayana even though unknowingly, the four armed Vishnu dutas present themselves and hinder the yamadutas to take him.
So in this regard , Ajamila was freeded from the yamadutas and he repents for his sins and goes to do the penance.
In the Srimad Bhagavad gita it is stated that what ever one thinks at the time of death one will attain for sure.
In this age of kali as we all know is filled with quarrals and hippocracy.
It is stated in Chaitanya charitamruta - adi lila as follows
harer nama harer nama
harer namaiva kevalam
kalau nasty eva nasty eva
nasty eva gatir anyatha
“‘In this Age of Kali there is no other means, no other means, no other means for self-realization than chanting the holy name, chanting the holy name, chanting the holy name of Lord Hari
* Also in kali santarpana upanishad it is stated the mantra..
hare rama hare rama rama rama hare hare/ hare krishna hare krisha krishna krishna hare hare..
So if one needs to atone for the sins this is one of the paths... which is recommeded in kali yuga i. e chanting the name of Lord Hari.

Archana your really great...
and this site is very useful for me..
The person who does the mistake should also accept the punishment...
the person who eat salt should drink water...!!
yup True dear...
Namaste Arahcna,
I thank you for your valuable posting of the Sri.Garuda Purana, various sins to be undergone by the human beings for the bad deeds they perform during their life. But one of the readers raised his doubt without Gods permission even a single ant cant move. But why in some humans case they do these bad deeds. Cant it be stopped without doing? I am not questioning you, but I want to know about it, please tell me, Thank you.
Namaskaram .. :);)
Yup it is very true that everything v do,god will see,hear and i also feel that he speaks to us as an inner voice, if we listen 2 it we won’t dare 2 do wrong & if we won’t care to Listen, he vl b silent & make us deserve punishment. Simple !
"But why in some humans case they do these bad deeds "
God created good, as he created light, heat...etc..Acc 2 Physics, absence of light is darkness, absence of heat is cold, same absence of good thoughts leads 2 bad thoughts(as nature abhors a vacuum),thus bad words & thus bad deeds .All this is bcoz we didn’t listen 2 good said by god. In other words, we sin because we are ignorant of the real means to a good life i.e virtue. Socrates said, there would be no evil if everyone realized that virtue is the only means to the good life. If we could stick together the end and the means - there would be no evil.
"Cant it be stopped without doing?"
Yes by making people realize the Truth, by making them come out of the Illusions ...
Hi Archana,
You are right god has created nature,he created light,he created word,he created the man,He created stars,he created sun, He created moon and many more that we cannot reason it why Those are there. But they are just there in bliss. The one which is created by man(individual) is the thought because of which we are.
So Mr. Venkateshwar rao ,
As Swami Vivekananda says that a man makes his journey not from false to truth but from lower level of truth to higher level of truth.
So here we can apply it as This
The Thoughts & deeds of individual may takes him from lower level of goodness to higher level of goodness.So these deeds may depend on the intelligence of that individual.Here i need to represent goodness as LOVE ie from lower level of love to higher level of love
So as the intelligence of that individual increases he/she may travel to higher side else to the lower side if he does no decide wisely. After all we all are bound to the powerful 'karma' which decides the journey of the man.
I some times might think that all our acts and the nature totally works on PROBABILITY of the KARMA.
So my intelligence says there is never a thing call good or bad it depends on the intelligence of the individual there is only a thought.
So i need to say that act according to that time what we feel as our intelligence tells us.
Note:Correct me if you find anything needed.
Thanks.
Jai Hanuman.
Venkata Seshikanth Ji,
Very true...Thanq :)
Hello All,
I was seeing all ur views/opinions or ur justifications etc etc, but let me tell u all u ppl said is bullshit, absolute bull shit, dnt think i am other religion, i am pure hindu n i pray to shri maha vishnu, but let me tell u dnt be stupid reading after this, Jus beleve only one thng: God doesnt come to help us whereas our fellow beings comes fr us, as frnds as helpers etc etc.. My dad does puja, but he says Ramayanam untha ranku, Mahabharatam untha bhonku.... its fact..My father says other thng also, if one struggles hard for sumthng n if god doesnt gv him that then even god will suffer with the punishment.. Serve the people who r beside u means no one does, but ur ppl r searchin in google etc places, do see ur neighbourhood places they r lot of ppl who can make u God, Go with tht nt with this type of stupid thngs.. Everyday i gv some or the other to the ppl nt bcoz i need punyam/papum, i gv thm bcoz i have n they doesnt have,thts it... I beleve in Karna (gv everythng u have, since u have the ability to get thm back, if u cant gt thm back thn also gv, since gvin is in ur hands, may nt b getting back fr tht bt b rerady to beg n give..i gv to ppl with my left hand when i am eating food, u ppl knw y,( but myt b thinkin wrong of me ryt nw bt), money can change my mind till i move the money from my left hand to right hand, i fear of tht gv as much as i gt to hand and without even noticing i have the money to go hme or nt, i dnt beleve this stupid thngs, do good, god wil cum at ur feet to serve u...
Aryan annaji, I respect u for ur giving heart,but datz not enuf...ur views on r gr8 epics made me tnk u r a stupid,forgive,if im wrong
One fact is any human who tastes the happiness in giving, will always be pulled 2wards it.'Givng happieness n getng happieness'alone is not enuf.
there r ppl who r gr8 givers like karna,but remember karna was also killed bcoz of supporting adharma .Helping is a part of being good,not everytng...
one mre eg,i have seen ppl,karna like but suffered so much before death bcuz of many diseases.Reason - bad habits like drink/smoke/week 4 woman etc.It needs SPIRITUALITY 2 have control over our secret enemies - lust,anger,Greed,Desire and attachment,Jealousy.Please grow up.
Animals can do charitable work. Ants do it. Dogs do it. What is the difference then? Men can be masters of themselves. They can resist the reaction to anything.... The animal cannot resist anything. He is held ... by the string of nature everywhere. That is all the distinction. One is the master of nature, the other the slave of nature. What is nature? The five senses - by Vivekananda
Hey GUYS can anyone tell me that what are the PUNISHMENT for those who do RAPE ,KILL and TORTURE innocent women and girls...??? and even spoil there FACES by ACID? acc to GARUDA PURANA

Hello anchana... U hav given v interesting info abt the punishments.. N I wanted to say.. Who ever goes behind r trying to know abt these n researching abt these punishments for related sins hav done all mistakes n wrong deeds... N in one of ur replies u said ur not such a grown up to think abt bad things n doesn't want to incline to think if bad... N even u commented on someone who called u dear. This makes clear tht u hav kept some borders to urself in living.. N talking.. But u r not in everyways ready to do gud.. Every1 has their own ways of doing n being gud.. So u can't just say to b this r tht to some one..
N last but not the least... Every human is doing some r the other bad to oneself r others r any other beings.. So mostly r perfectly every human n animal shud b punished.. The best example is humans cut trees (trees hav life) r use the tree made things for their living.. So everyone wil b punished then .. Which is impossi.. So better stop thinking abt wher r we gonna b r wich punishment u wil b persued .. But live a happy life til u die.. Leave it to death after death.. Ok?
U wil b first punished for saying opposite things to whoever commented on their views.. Search for tht punishment in Garuda purana r whatsoever written by authors r kavi"s who write these kind of novels out of their over imaginations because of lack of work.. Haha:)
U wil b first punished for saying opposite things ... :( :(
Priya Dear

hahahaa anyway I love all kinds of feedbak,it helps me grow...Thank You naughty...!
" So u can't just say to b this r tht to some one..Every human is doing some r the other bad "'

Hey archana,
i thank u for giving us this valuable information.i have a small doubt please clarify it. Some times when soul left from our body it will not go to their destinated place to fulfill their wants. Is it real or not .does it must go after fullfilling their wants i want clarity in this and please send me the whole list of punishments given to their sins in the hell and mail the ans to my email.(rinku.akhi@gmail.com)
I'm not a Sorcerer yar.Have no idea about it.
I just got so much impressed by Aparichit/Anniyan Movie..did sme research & Got the Above..My Apologies... :-) :-)
first of all you should know the difference between soul and body. Body is made up of all five thatwas(elements) and it is mortal. But soul (Athma) is immortal and it contains mind, intellect and sanskar. After death the soul leaves the body and take another body(birth). During this time the soul carries mind, intellect and sanskar with it. So the soul is doing the karmas and experiencing the sorrows and happiness of the karmas and body is only an instrument for doing the karma. so where ever the soul go it carries the result of the karma whether in this birth or in another birth.. so everybody(every soul) has to experience the effect of it's karma.. But punishments should be suffered in this human world and not in any of the narakas. And you should understand that everybody is originally soul and not body. We all came from paramdham, the soul world and will return back to our original world after the destruction of this world. Till that time we all will be here in this human world in different different bodies. that is the soul has to take punar janmas till the end of the world.. if you have any doubt visit www.brahmakumaris.com www.brahmakumaris.org Best wishes...
Hi Archana I liked your blog...
Thanks fr sharing the usefull information...
I hav One doubt:
Eating Egg is a sin?
here am not going harm any animal right den how it's a sin?
Can u plz Elobarate on dis
Its out of my Pleasure.Thank You :-)
Lord buddha said itseemz eating meat is not bad if we eat meat after a natural death of an animal ,but if it is killed just for your tastes then its called pap.
chicken eggs are two kinds, fertile(Zygotic- formed by gamate fusion and therefore are carriers of life) and sterile(eggs which won’t hatch,whch are not fertilised so cannot result in birth of a new animal). It was said that most of the eggs present in market are infertile/sterile.
In poultry farms, hens are considered no better than egg-producing machines.They are injected with hormones to produce more. Battery hens develop the severe osteoporosis of intensive confinement know as caged layer fatigue.The hens are confined to a narrow space of 15″ x 19″, housed in small-congested cages known as chickenhavens. Due to shortage of space, they become violent, offensive, obsessed and quarrelsome. They attack one another in a barbarous manner. So they are de-beaked. The de-beaking is done in brown light, especially during the night when hens become almost blind. The lower beak is cut. If there happens any mistake , the hen is deprived of food for the rest of her life. Due to de-beaking, they are unable even to drink water.The hen has to starve at least for three days due to the wounded beak. Calcium depleted, millions of hens become paralyzed and die of hunger and thirst.Right from the rearing of hens to the hatching of their eggs, there is so much of violence.
Wouldn’t this act of cruelty affect the egg-eater ?? In most commercial farms, all the male chicks are killed at birth and the female hens are killed prematurely, so by buying commercial eggs,
are we not supporting that process.??
were some of questions we have to Think of...
I feel Nobody can Perfectly guide Anybody.We all have to Activate our wisdom's ,sharpen our minds...and Question our own self for anything & everything...
Is what am choosing is right?? why am i choosing it ?
Is there any possibility of guilt bcoz of it in my life?
And Must Do whatever our consciousness says ..Ommmm
cheers to you Brahmakumaris..U ROCK :-)
