The Seven Questions of Garuda
by Anantanand Rambachan
(32 pages, Paperback, © 1997)
Tulasidasa concludes the Ramayana with a lengthy conversation between Garuda, the king of birds and
Kakabhushundi, a crow. The fact that Garuda goes to a crow for spiritual instruction is profoundly
symbolic. A seeker os wisdom must be prepared to learn from any qualified source,and a teacher must
not be judged by outward appearance or social status. It is the content of the teacher's wisdom that
matters. The dialogue between Garuda and Kakabhushundi focuses on the nature of God, and the path
of love. At one point in the conversation, Garuda places seven questions before his eloquent teacher.
His questions deal with the value and purpose of human existence, the greatest pain, the highest
pleasure, the differences between good and evil, the highest virtue, the worst sin and the diseases of the
mind. These questions and answers are analyzed and discussed.
