Going to Heaven or Hell
(leave heaven - swarga)

Bhagavad Gita... the most sacred Scripture of Hinduism... the doctrine given to mankind by Lord Krishna clearly defines heaven (Swarga in Hinduism) and hell (Naraka in Hinduism). As enumerated in Bhagavad Gita... whenever matching parents are not available to the soul atman after the death of the mortal fame... the body... the soul atman either hibernates in heaven or hell.

The soul atman goes to Heaven if the residual balance of karma is positive and hell if negative. Bhagavad Gita clearly defines the existence of Heaven in the core of the sun where temperatures exceed millions of degrees centigrade. The soul atman whenever not manifesting a body feels comfortable in such temperatures.

Hell is located in the periphery of the sun where temperatures are comparatively less. Every soul atman thus suffers as it is not accustomed for such low temperatures. Heaven and hell are interim stages in the cosmic life cycle of the soul atman. None can go to Heaven or hell in bodily form. Nor any soul atman can go directly to the kingdom of God from Heaven or hell.

It is only as a human being... the highest manifest stage in the cosmic life cycle... one reaches the stage of enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) and salvation (moksha). Only then the soul atman within gets liberated forever from the cycle of manifestations and goes to the kingdom of God (aka Vaikunth in Hinduism) forever... a place of no return!
