Dear Bhagavattotamas
There seems to be an incredible amount of superstition regarding the Garuda
Purana. The G.P. is a sacred text which takes the form of a dialogue between
Srikrisna and Garuda on the nature of life and death. It is a book of
knowledge. How can the aquiring of knowledge about universal matters which
affect us all create negative effects? Negative effects in our life arise as
a result of karma phalam not because we kept a book in our house! This is
what we call animistic superstition and is incompatable with the lofty
doctrines of Srivaishnavam.
