The Garuḍa Mahāpurāṇa, an imperishable ocean of transcendental wisdom, shines as the direct revelation of Bhagavān Vishṇu unto His noble mount, the king of birds Garuḍa, in the supreme realm of Vaikuṇṭha. As it happens, this sacred dialogue was preserved through an unbroken paramparā, passing from the Lord through Maharshi Kashyapa, Brahma, and Maharshi Vyāsa, before being narrated by Sūta Gosvāmī to the assembled Ṛshis during the grand thousand-year Yagña in the sanctified forest of Naimishāraṇya. Serving as the expansive foundation of the scripture across two hundred and forty chapters, the Āchāra Khaṇḍa—also celebrated as the Pūrva Khaṇḍa or Karma Khaṇḍa—systematically unfolds the complete science of Sanātana Dharma, weaving together divine worship, cosmic law, and classical worldly knowledge into an integrated guide for human life.

Through detailed expositions on sacred Vratas, Tīrtha Yātrā, Shālagrāma worship, Ashtāṅga Yoga, and non-dual self-knowledge, this sacred text guides the devout seeker away from the illusions of Samsāra, establishing that unswerving love and complete self-surrender at the Lotus Feet of Prabhu Vishṇu grant ultimate Mukti.
