Garuda - Hindu Deity

P1120959

What is found in the holy scriptures of Hinduism:

Garuda is known as the vahana or vehicle of Vishnu. Garuda and Hanuman , the monkey god are the strongest of the strong powers in the universe. Both have dedicated their lives to service instead of using their powers to rule over the cosmos. Hanuman's reward is that he will preside over the next cycle of creation as its Manu, Adam Kadamon, the First Man. Garuda's reward is immortality.

 

Garuda is also the name of the Airline of Indonesia.
