Ancient Indian mythology presents a richly detailed vision of the afterlife, particularly the concept of hells, known as Naraka. These hells, of which there appear to be twenty eight layers, are vividly described in texts such as the Puranas, the Mahabharata and the Vedas, serving both as moral allegories and as a means to enforce dharma, the moral order of the universe. Each layer is designated for specific sins and governed by the god of death, Yama. In today’s episode, we’ll be exploring the nature, structure, and purpose of these hells within ancient Indian mythology and Hinduism.

I just realized why we've created so many religions . . . b/c we enjoy the form, namely ritual, music and symbolism, but none actually satisfy us fully, so we just keep making new ones – hoping for a better result in how it improves humanity. It just doesn't prohibit us from being evil if we so desire.
Thank you very much.
i think it's understandable that they created such a tormented hell
it's purely a reflection of being born in india 🚫🚾
the rapture is about to happen when it happens and millions vanish the Bible says people will believe a lie it was not climate change, a weapon, aliens, mother earth cleansing itself, it was Jesus.
Believe the truth of gospel 1 Corinthians 15-3 that Jesus shed his blood, dying for your sins, he was buried and rose again on the third day. Once you believe this you are sealed unto the day of redemption Ephesians 4:30, which means you cannot lose your salvation. We do good works out of love for what Jesus has done for us because out of love he died for our sins We don't do good works out of fear because we fear we might not get to heaven or out of fear we aren't saved. This is the difference between a religion and a relationship.
