The process of reincarnation continues until the soul is liberated from material existence. And to be liberated from material existence, one simply needs to surrender to Krishna, obey Him, do His divine will, and serve Him with love and devotion forever.

The Lord also says: It is the thoughts and memories of the being at the moment of leaving their body that determine their future condition.

This is why, with these words, Lord Krishna advises us to control our thoughts, words, and actions, for they produce disastrous effects and therefore disastrous consequences if they are rooted in malevolence and ill will. Therefore, if we have a specific thought, it will be interpreted by God on the one hand, and by the celestial beings on the other, as a desire, and we will obtain it in our next life.

For example, if at the moment of death I think of my cat, by this final thought I will be reincarnated in the body of a cat in my next life.

This is why Krishna, God, the Supreme Person, asks us to think of him at the moment of death, for in this way we will be sure to go to him in his absolute kingdom forever. Our next life will be eternal and will take place with God.

Lord Krishna says in this regard: Whoever, at the moment of death, at the very instant of leaving their body, remembers me alone, immediately reaches my abode, have no doubt, for it is the thoughts, the memories of the being at the moment of leaving the body, that determine their future state. Thus, in me, Krishna, in my personal form, always absorbs your thoughts without fail. By dedicating your actions to me, turning your mind and intelligence towards me, without a doubt you will come to me.

Does Hell exist?

What is the purpose of the suffering endured in Hell?

Who are those ruled in Hell?

Yes, Hell exists; it is a region composed of thousands of infernal planets.

Each galaxy is divided into three major regions. The highest is composed of thousands of Edenic, paradisiacal planets, each inhabited by celestial beings.

The middle region is composed of thousands of Earth-like planets, home to 400,000 different species of human beings. We on Earth represent only a tiny fraction of these diverse human species.

And the lowest region, called “Hell,” is composed of thousands of infernal planets. Hell is located in the southern part of the galaxy, below the middle region, and this is true for every galaxy in the material cosmos.
