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. Adiyen Sriram ------------------------ Yahoo!
