Is there heaven and hell in Hinduism? How is it described in Hinduism?

The theory of heaven and hell has an important impact on the life of Hindus. Other religions also attach great importance to the existence of heaven and hell. This means that people pass through either heaven or hell in the process of death and rebirth. The description of heaven makes everyone want to go there, while hell is a place everyone wants to avoid.

According to Hindu scriptures, Chitragupta, the god of death in the Temple of Hell, stores records of good and evil deeds of everyone. Based on this, if a person's good deeds dominate, he will be sent to heaven, and if not, he will be sent to hell.

Heaven is where God lives. Everyone is very happy there. The master of heaven is the god Indra. The happiness in heaven is different from what is felt through the senses in the world. It is a kind of happiness that is deeply rooted in the heart. The kind of happiness that can be enjoyed only when one has complete mastery over one's mind, emotions and one's self, far exceeds the pleasures that come from the senses.

Religious teachings declare that those who have compassion and love for all sentient beings, speak kindly, treat women as mothers, sisters or daughters, do not covet ill-gotten gains, do not steal, and are kind to themselves. Only those who are satisfied with what they have, are honest, have no jealousy, do not harm others, and are very friendly to everyone are qualified to experience the happiness of heaven.

A wise man said that when a person has noble qualities, they will also have their paradise on earth. As one story goes, God once announced that he would be given a week to enter heaven without any restrictions on his behavior. This will be an open door open to everyone. After people heard about it, they rushed to heaven one after another and lined up at the gate of heaven.

On the way back shortly after God announced it, he saw a man carrying firewood on his head and humming a tune as he walked home. He seemed not to mind the message God announced. . God felt very strange, so he stopped him and asked, "Have you not heard that there are no restrictions on entering heaven?"

The man replied with a happy and satisfied smile: "Mr. , I have heard that God made this generous decision, but to be honest, I see it from the smiling faces of my children, the loyal love of my wife, the support and care of my brother, and the friendly behavior of my neighbors. Everyone enjoys paradise-like happiness. I have such a paradise, why should I pursue another paradise that I have never seen?

Hell is a sad place. Those who go to hell will experience constant hurt and pain. It is believed that there are seven levels of hell close to the Hall of Hell, which is described as a terrible place full of horrors. Religious teachings say that those who are greedy, lustful, hypocritical, ungrateful, adulterous, unscrupulous, and indifferent to the old, weak, sick, disabled, and orphans will taste the pain of hell.

In the Bhagavad Gita, it is said that there are three roads to hell: ***, anger and greed.

Gods and virtuous people also enjoy heaven on earth. They can endure hell and give relief to the suffering people. There is a story that Stella was given one day in hell and 100 years in heaven. When asked where he wanted to go first, he chose hell first. After he entered hell, the people there received great comfort from the fragrance emanating from his virtuous body. Yudestra relied on her own virtue to create a paradise for the people in hell. This is the effect of good on evil.
