As humans, we commit a lot of known and unknown sins in our life span. As per Garuda Purana, one of the most sacred texts in Hinduism, a soul’s journey is noted in detail after death and it has to go through their own karma. The text describes several types of Narakas (hell realms), which offer spiritual guidance on living a righteous life. As per Garuda Purana, the soul goes on a journey after death based on the karma it created.
Each sin and wrongdoing is linked to a particular Naraka or hell which is a symbolic realm where the soul is purified through consequences. While these interpretations are symbolic, not literal, the real teaching of the Garuda Purana is simple:
Every action has a karmic effect.
No hell is permanent.
Purification leads to liberation.
