What happens after we die? Not as a philosophical question. As a fact, described verse by verse in one of Hinduism’s most sacred texts, the Garuda Purana, spoken by Lord Vishnu himself.
Nityanand Charan Das Ji is back on Supertalks. And this time, he takes us somewhere most people are afraid to go.
Nityanand Charan Das is a practising monk at Sri Sri Radha Gopinath Temple, ISKCON Chowpatty, Mumbai. Disciple of His Holiness Radhanath Swami. National bestselling author of A Monk’s Almanac, Icons of Grace, Ask the Monk, Bound by Love and SHIVA. His discourses have been heard in 50+ countries across the globe.
In this episode, he opens the Garuda Purana and reads it to us. Not in Sanskrit. In the language every Indian understands.
The subtle body that forms the moment the soul leaves. The Yamdoots who come from Yamlok to collect it. The soul that watches its own funeral from above. The 13-day journey that begins after death, passing through stations of increasing difficulty. The Vaitarini Lake, the most brutal body of water in the universe, filled with blood, where every soul is dragged unless they have served or donated a cow in their lifetime. The final arrival before Yamraj. The judgment. And the description of hell as it appears in the Vedic verses, in detail that will stop you cold.
We discuss the signs of death. What can be done for a person on their deathbed. And how every one of us can evolve spiritually in this lifetime so that what comes after is not what the Garuda Purana describes for those who were not prepared.
The answer, Nityanand Charan Das says, is simpler than you think. The chanting of Krishna’s name.
This is not a frightening episode. It is a preparing one.

My husband death on 28th September. I am very depressed. I need to finished my self.
Hare Krishna
तो गुरुजी माफ करना मेरे को पर मुझे एक बात समझ नहीं आई कि जो आपने बताया था कि है ना जो एक जो सोल यानी एक आत्मा होती है, उसको करीबन एक साल लग जाता है यमलोक यानी धर्मराज यमराज के पास पहुंचते हुए। फिर तेरह दिन तो उसको लगते हैं उसके शरीर बनने में। मतलब दस या तेरह दिन उसको शरीर बनने में लगते हैं। और बाद में वो अलग-अलग स्टेशन पर रुकती है, अलग-अलग वो कभी वो एक झील पार करती है, अलग स्टेशन पर रुकती है, कभी रात होती है, कभी दिन होता है, कभी राजस्थान आता है, कभी बर्फीला एरिया आता है। तो उस हिसाब से मतलब उसको आपने बताया कि एक साल लग जाता है यमराज तक पहुंचने में। परंतु बाद में जब आपने किसी एक सुमित कौ नाम की लड़की की कहानी बताई, तो उसमें आपने बताया कि जैसे ही उसकी मृत्यु हुई तो जो वो है ना वो एक दिन में वापस यमराज के पास आखिर कैसे आ सकती है? आपने बताया कि जैसे वो यमराज के पास पहुंची और यमराज ने बोला कि ये सुमृत कौन है? इसके पास वाली सुमृत कौन? और उसके अचानक से नींद को जैसे वो सपना देख रही थी। परंतु मतलब आपने बोला कि एक साल लगता है यमराज तक पहुंचने में और अचानक से तो जब तक यमराज तक पहुंची तब तक तो इसका देह होना ही नहीं चाहिए मतलब तब तक तो उसका शरीर बचना ही नहीं चाहिए। तो फिर वो जिंदा कैसे है गुरु जी तुम मेरे दिमाग में ये प्रश्नोत्तर को हो सके तो आप प्लीज इस प्रश्न का उत्तर दे दीजिए मेरे को। हरे कृष्ण
True😢
Satnam Kaur has crossed all the path in the same day? But before you told it takes 13 days
Only chant hare krishna maha mantra🙏🏻
Hare krishna hare krishna krishna krishna hare hare hare Rama hare Rama Rama Rama hare hare
Aacharya ji kya shraddh aur tarpan man baap ke liye betiyan kar sakti hain kripya karke jarur bataen hare Krishna 🙏🙏
❣️🙏🏻
Prabhupada blessed both of you and all of the viewers bcs of that the video is there
Prabhu ji when the soul reaches to Yampuri in thirteen days how can Satnam kaur become alive again as no body keeps body for thirteendays at home after death? This is my confusion .
iss admi ko kuch nai aata. illogical baat krta hai. bilkul maza nai aya.
At 54:10, the lady describes her near-death experience and says that her journey to Yamaloka happened within a few hours. But as I understand from what you explained earlier, the journey to Yamaloka is described as taking several days. Could you please clarify this point? It would be really helpful to understand how these two descriptions can be reconciled.
I have deep faith in and respect for the Shrimad Bhagavad Gita, so I am asking this only to understand the subject more clearly.
Kisne dekha death kr baad kon kahan jaa rha ?
Bhagwaan ko brahman hi kyu priy hai? Ki brahmano ko khilaiye?
Kya garantee hai jis brahman ko khila rahe usne koi paap hi nai kia? Ya usko shlok ek adha hi ata hai?
बहुत बढ़िया ज्ञान दिया प्रभु जी ने…हरे कृष्णा…बहुत बढ़िया व्लॉग
Hum apni karmon se hi aage ki journey accha bana sakte hai aur koi rasta nahi hai
Is there any mention of Sati in Garuda Purana?
Body earth per thi Aatma dekye ne deti to Gasit kise Rahe the kuch bhi kaho 😅😅😅
Prabhuji
We are grateful by listening such divine spiritual talks. But one question – what about other religious people regarding" pindadan" rituals. They have no such practice
ज्ञान होते हुए भी लोग अज्ञानता में जी रहें हैं, ना जाने किस और चल रहे हैं।
हरे कृष्ण 🙏🏻
Hare Krishna hare Ram
Just curious, about this Satnam Kaur story, if a soul takes few days to months to reach Yamlok, then how is it that she returned to her body in her death bed after meeting Yamraj? Was her body not cremated by then? I am a firm believer in garud puran, but just curls on this incident that contradicts the details shared.. ,
Mai ye sab manti hu per mujhe ek chiz please bta do ki ye sab yo rasme like pind dan ham dete hai vo doosre dhramo me nahi hota to unka kese fir rehta hai 😢😢 I'm curious
Jay Shree Ram JAY bajrangbali Baba 🙏🌺🌺🙏😢😢😢
We have same concept in islamic philosophy as rewards and punishments I am not sure but you don't have this in budhism dalai lama once said what God will get burning people when I heard this podcast I felt it same that we have in Quran and hadees
NO …. 40000 SCORPION ! NOT TEN Study hard
Jai shree Ram..Jai shree krishna
Just a suggestion, plzz improve the level of questions u r asking. Basically in this podcast I felt u r interrupting Guruji many times and asking repeated questions also.
ਛੱਡੀ ਚੱਲ ਗੱਪ ਕਿਹੜਾ ਕਿਸੇ ਦੇ ਪਿਓ ਦੇ ਆ
Agar Prabhu ji akaal mrutyu nahin Hoti Hai to fir tumhara mahamrityunjay mantra hai isliye hota hai taki Jo log apni umra se pahle Mar Gaye Ho unko jagrit Kiya Ja sake wapas Aisa bhi kaha gaya hai??????¿
Maharaj ji english ka prayog nahi kre to bari kripa hogi
Hare krishn❤
Kuch kuch chije inohne galt boli hai
Jo भगवान ka nam nhi lete lekin sari umar ache karam krte hai orr logoki seva krte hai unhe bhi moksha milta hai
1/2 year ka bacha ki death per b yesa hata hai kya
sabka timing different hain & this is limited travelling journey
Sir mujhe ek baat samajh mein nahi aaya ki jo satsang attend karne bali lady wo jab puri yatra complete karke yamlok pahacha tab yamraj use ea nehi hay bol kar use wapas sarir main bhejdia ea kese hua tab tak ta wo lady ka death 1 year hogya hoga kya uska gharwalo ne jalaya nehi hogakya
Sir ne ta bola ki 1 year lagjaega sab rasta parkarke wo yamlok jab pahache ga tabtak 1 saal ho jayega
1 saal ke baad jab wo yamlok pahachegi tab yamraj g ne bola hoga ki ea wo lady nehi hai or phir wo wapas aagya kya 1 saal tak uska body ko jalaya nehi hoga kya ta wo baat mujhe samaj mein nehi aaya ki wo kese hua
Sir agar meri taraf se kuch bhul hogi ta sorry maan main aaya ta bol dia
I request you sir , pls aap prabhuji ko 100 bulaye or hame in detail garud puran ke bareme pata chale 🙏
