Texts and Puranas have great importance in Hindu religion, and when it comes to the deep secrets of life and death, the name of Garuda Purana is taken first. Garuda Purana is one such sacred text among the 18 Mahapuranas of Sanatan Dharma, in which the entire mysterious journey of a human being from his birth to his death and beyond has been explained in detail.
According to this Mahapuran, a person does not have to suffer the consequences of his deeds only in this life, but even after death, he gets heaven or hell on the basis of his good and bad deeds.
Not only this, the deeds done in this birth also decide the outline of our next birth. The most interesting and surprising thing mentioned in Garuda Purana is that whenever a person’s death comes near, his body and the surrounding environment start giving him some special and mysterious signals, after which he says goodbye to this world.
The feeling starts 6 months before death
According to the extremely shocking claims of Garuda Purana, every human being starts receiving certain types of signs about 6 months before his death. Through these signs, man’s conscience begins to realize that his time on this earth has come to an end. This is the reason why many religious and spiritual experts believe that after the death of any person, the story of Garuda Purana should be recited in his family. It is believed that by listening to this sacred story, the wandering soul of a dead person gets ultimate peace and salvation. Now this question must be arising in your mind that what are those signs which testify to the arrival of death? Let us know about these in detail.
not being able to see the tip of one’s own nose
The first and strangest sign of death mentioned in Garuda Purana is the disappearance of the tip of one’s own nose. Normally, when we look downwards with both our eyes, we can clearly see the tip of our nose. But according to Garuda Purana, a person whose death comes very close, completely stops seeing this front part of his own nose. This is considered to be an indication that the person’s time is now very limited.
sudden lightening of hand lines
Like palmistry, Garuda Purana also mentions changes in body structure and lines. According to Garuda Purana, when the lines on both the hands of a person suddenly become very blurred and light, then it is a serious sign. Seeing such a situation, it is believed that the person has only 6 months left in this world and his end time is nearing.
Not smelling the scent of extinguishing a lamp
We all know that in Hindu religion, it is considered very mandatory to light a lamp of pure ghee during worship. When this lamp cools down or gets extinguished, a special aroma of burning ghee and cotton spreads in the air. It is written in Garuda Purana that if a person stops feeling this fragrance after the lamp is extinguished, then it is considered a big spiritual sign that the soul of that person is soon going to leave his physical body.
the disappearance of one’s own shadow
This is such a mysterious sign that can give goosebumps to anyone. According to Garuda Purana, when a person stops seeing his own shadow or shadow despite walking in sunlight, or his reflection starts appearing blurred in water and oil, then it is considered to be an indicator of standing at the very doorstep of death.
Remembering special moments of life like flashback
Just before death, a huge change occurs in the human mind. According to Garuda Purana, in the last moments of his life, a person suddenly starts remembering his entire life like a reel or flashback. During this time, whatever good deeds he has done in his entire life or whatever sins and bad deeds he has done, all those special moments start floating in front of his eyes.
Seeing ancestors again and again in dreams
If, while sleeping, a person repeatedly sees in his dreams his ancestors who have left this world long ago, or an old deceased relative or deceased friend appears in his dreams and starts beckoning him to come to him, then according to Garuda Purana, this is also considered a big sign of the arrival of Yamraj.
feeling strange negative energy and extreme restlessness
As the final moments approach, the environment around the person begins to change. According to Garuda Purana, in such a situation a person starts feeling very scared without any reason, especially at night. He starts feeling a strange heavy negative energy around him, he starts feeling terrible restlessness in his mind and from time to time he starts feeling as if some invisible power is standing in the room or some messenger has come to take him away from this world.
