Children

Kadru’s children were bound in coils due to a curse. To free them, Kadru asked Garuda to bring her Amrita, the elixir of immortality. Garuda accepted and to obtain the Amrita he had to perform a series of heroic deeds.

Garuda’s first task was to obtain a divine gem called Syamantaka, which was in the possession of a serpent. Garuda defeated the serpent, acquired the gem, and returned it to the serpent’s owner, King Satrajit, who was wrongly accused of stealing it.

During his search, Garuda met Lord Vishnu. Impressed by Garuda’s devotion and determination, Vishnu granted him a boon. Garuda asked to be Vishnu’s mount, carrying him on his back. Vishnu granted him this grace and blessed Garuda with immense strength and immortality.

With the various trials to which he had been subjected, Garuda had also regained respect for duty, devotion and dharma.

Overall, the story of Garuda and Vishnu is a cherished narrative that exemplifies the values ​​of righteousness, loyalty and divine grace that play a significant role in Hindu culture and philosophy.
