‘Garuda Purana’, one of the 18 Mahapuranas of Sanatan Dharma, contains a very detailed and esoteric description of birth, death, journey of the soul and the afterlife. According to Garuda Purana, death is an invariable truth and when a person’s time on this earth comes to an end, the process of separation of body and soul accelerates in the last moments. When the time of passing away approaches, that is, about 24 hours before death, some clear and supernatural signs start appearing in the person’s senses, body temperature and mental consciousness. Let us know about those 5 sure signs mentioned in Garuda Purana which point towards the arrival of the end times.
Not being able to see one’s reflection in water, oil or mirror
According to Garuda Purana, when the time of a person’s death comes very near, there is a profound change in his vision and energy field (Aura). At such a time, a person cannot clearly see his real reflection in water, oil, mirror or ghee. Sometimes the shadow feels bodyless or disembodied, or is not visible at all. According to religious belief, this is a sign that the vital energy is gradually shrinking and preparing to come out of the body.
Coldness of hands and feet and pulling of life force from navel
A few hours before death, the body’s biological and internal functions begin to slow down. It is mentioned in both Garuda Purana and Ayurveda that first of all the soles of the feet and palms of the hands start becoming completely cold and numb. The heat (fire element) of the body gradually shrinks and starts getting pulled towards the navel chakra (Manipur Chakra) and then the heart. The person’s lips and palate begin to dry up and the power of speech gradually begins to deteriorate.
Sensing the presence of eunuchs and ancestors
It is described in the Preta Kalpa of Garuda Purana that in the last moments of a person’s physical vision becomes weak and his subtle vision becomes active. At such times, a person starts seeing shadows of his deceased forefathers, forefathers or supernatural figures (Yamdoots) around him. Many times a person tries to talk by looking into the void or holds the hands of his family members tightly in fear and panic. This sign indicates that the soul is now coming in contact with the subtle world beyond the physical world.
Not being able to see tip of nose and having stable vision
A very specific sign related to physical vision has been described in Garuda Purana. When death is near, the person becomes unable to see the tip of his nose with both of his eyes. The pupils of the eyes start pulling upwards or become stable at one place. Along with this, the surrounding light starts appearing blurry and the person starts feeling darkness or yellowness all around even in daylight.
A flashback of a lifetime’s actions (looking like a movie)
During the last 24 hours, the person’s mind goes beyond worldly attachments and reviews his entire life. According to Garuda Purana, all the good and bad deeds (virtue and sin) done from the moment of birth till that moment start revolving rapidly in the conscience of the person like a visual tapestry. During this time, the person remembers his sinful deeds and repents and the names of God or family members start coming out of his mouth involuntarily.
