Garuda Purana: Untimely Death's Secret: Kroordoot, Wandering Souls, Pitru Dosh

• According to Garuda Purana, untimely deaths (accidents, murder, suicide, severe illness) are painful; souls are taken by cruel messengers, not Yama's.
• Souls of those who die untimely wander as ghosts (Preta Yoni), suffering hunger and thirst, unable to find peace until specific rituals are performed.
• Lack of proper post-death rituals for untimely deaths can cause Pitra Dosha, leading to family misfortunes like illness, financial loss, and accidents across generations.
• Salvation for these souls and relief from Pitra Dosha for families can be achieved through rituals like Narayan Bali, annual Shraddha, feeding crows on Amavasya, and daily prayers.
