Hindu Judgement, Punishment and Hell
[Punishment and Hell are not unique nor inventions or creations of Christianity. They are also found within the venerable Hindu texts.]
Hindu Vedas in an Electronic Format
“Naraka, also called Yamaloka, is the Hindu equivalent of Hell, where sinners are tormented after death. It is also the abode of Yama, the god of Death. It is described as located in the south of the universe and beneath the earth.”
Yama, the Hindu god of death and Lord of Naraka – hell. He was subsequently adopted by Buddhist, Chinese, Tibetan, Korean, and Japanese mythology as the king of hell.
Yama’s Court and Hell
Not in hell alone do the souls of the deceased undergo pain: there is no cessation even in heaven; for its temporary inhabitant is ever tormented with the prospect ol descending again to earth.
Again must he be born upon earth, and again must he die.
Whatever is produced that is most acceptable to man becomes a seed whence springs the tree of sorrow. ~The Vishnu Purana
Various sins and corresponding punishments in hells.
The Judgement Described on pages xxx—xxxiii, 35—8, 165—y, 240
Yama fulfils the office of judge of the dead, as well as sovereign of the damned; all that die appearing before him, and being confronted with Chitragupta the recorder, by whom their actions have been registered.
The virtuous are then conveyed to Swarga (Indra’s heaven), whilst the wicked are driven to the different regions of Naraka (hell). ~The Padma Purana

The astral spheres – Nehemiah Davis The sub-astral plane is Naraka consisting of seven hellish realms corresponding to the seven chakras below the base of the spine. In the astral plane, the Soul is enshrouded in the astral body, called Sukshma sharira.
…all men at the end of their existence (life) become slaves to the power of Yama, by whom they are sentenced to painful punishments. ~The Padma Purana

Carl Jung: Essence of Hell
What do you think of the essence of Hell? Hell is when the depths come to you with all that you no longer are or are not yet capable of Hell is when you can no longer attain what you could& attain.
He1l is when you must think and feel and do everything that you know you do not want.
He1l is when you know that your having to is also a wanting to, and that you yourself are responsible for it.
He1l is when you know that everything serious that you have planned with yourself is also laughable, that everything fine is also brutal, that everything good is also bad, that everything high is also low, and that everything pleasant is also shameful.
But the deepest He1l is when you realize that Hell is also no Hell, but a cheerful Heaven, not a Heaven in itself, but in this respect a Heaven, and in that respect a He1l.
That is the ambiguity of the God: he is born from a dark ambiguity and rises to a bright ambiguity.
Equivocalness simplicity and leads to death.
But ambiguity is the way of life.
If the left foot does not move, then the right one does, and you move. The God wills this. [The Red Book; Page 244]
