Death is a truth from which no one can escape. Garuda Purana describes death and its afterlife in great detail. It is generally believed that when the end time of a person comes, the messengers of Yamraj i.e. Yamdoot come to take him.
According to Garuda Purana, the appearance of Yamdoots is very terrible and they drag the sinners mercilessly. But in this Purana there is also mention of a very secret and special rule.
According to the scriptures, there are three types of people whom even the messengers of Yamraj do not dare to approach. The Yamdoots never touch these special people, rather the divine advisors of God themselves come to take their lives. Let us know who are those lucky people according to Garuda Purana.
True devotees who are absorbed in devotion to God.
The first name in this list comes from those people who spend their entire life in devotion and remembrance of God. According to Garuda Purana, the person who takes the name of God all the time, his last days pass very peacefully.
There is no fear of death in the minds of such people. When his breath is about to end, the terrible messengers of Yamraj do not even flinch around him. Vishnudut comes directly from Vaikuntha Dham to take the lives of these people who chant the name of the Lord. They appear in a very beautiful and peaceful form. He takes the souls of these devotees with great respect in his divine plane.
those who serve others selflessly
The second rule is for those people who are always ready to help others. It is said in the scriptures that feeding the hungry, serving the sick and providing shelter to the destitute is the greatest religion.
The person who does good to the society without any greed gets immense virtues accumulated in his account. Yamdoots themselves shy away from going to such kind people.
Yamraj’s messengers have the right to take only those people who have tortured others throughout their life. The gods of heaven themselves come to welcome the charitable people who wipe the tears of others.
People who follow the path of truth and religion
The third situation is of those people who, no matter how many difficulties come their way in life, never choose the path of lies and dishonesty. According to Garuda Purana, speaking the truth and fulfilling one’s responsibilities honestly is also a great penance.
Those who serve their parents, do not hurt anyone and follow the rules of religion, they do not have to fear Yamraj. Yamdoots salute such honest and clean hearted people from a distance.
