Let's talk about what happens when the Ferries wheel of karma rotates down where we can't see it anymore What happens after death?
Hindus believe in heaven and hell. But when while Christians and Muslims believe heaven and hell are forever , Hindus see these as temporary after-death states.
The Veda talks about the paths most human souls take after death. The first is the path of the misty light to Pitri Loka, the world of the ancestors. This is where most of us average folk go, hanging out with friends and relatives who've gone on before.
The second is the path of the bright light into the heaven world called Deva Loka. Only very pure souls can enter this realm. It's a high heaven where we experience incredible knowledge and joy. Here we get to dwell with the devas, the gods.
The third path, which some texts don't even mention because they assume you've got your act together and aren't heading there, is the path of no light at all. This lead to Patala, a very turbulent after-death existence. You want to be a kind person, so you don't wind up in this nasty place.
