Pranam According to the professor " some wrong answers according to him" (me); does he admit wrong answer or it is wrong only according to me?; if it is wrong answer the well learned has to explain; if it is according to me, the well learned shall rebut it as why I am wrong; but having admitted the erroneous questions and answers, yet the well learned carry on in tonnes on subjects of the authenticity; and he also failed to note that many of the gossips of the well learned i do not even notice; as long as the bhagavathar does not sing correctly people would keep on clapping only sir. 2 The learned meant that a knowledgeable person does not need sleep and sex?; the answer appeared thus only. 3 The learn'd does not read any sanskrit meaning rendered on Nagareshu Kanchi I wrote yesterday and having deleted it , brought it to you afresh. 4 The Garuda Purana is often recited at funeral ceremonies. The reason is that *it has all the mantras that are to be chanted on such occasions*. And if the rites are performed according to these incantations, the ancestors are freed from all their past sins. It has 2 parts ; 1st one is explaining the existence; 2nd part is about death and 28 punishments in Hell. The same factors are all seen in Bhagavatham and many other puranas too and upanishads; it is conjectured that Garudfa puranam was in vogue since 1000 AD only. KR IRS 271021
