Govindaram 1 Report post Posted February 10, 2004 Hare Krishna I can't remember where but I heard that Bhaktivinoda Thakura says that there is actually no hell, could anybody say in which Book he says this at all? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ranen 0 Report post Posted February 10, 2004 Hare Krishna Prabhu. I'm not sure if Bhaktivinoda Thakura actaully said that, but in the Bhagavatam, it is stated that there are various stages or levels of hell for different sins committed. All of which are judged by Yamaraja. Hope I could be of some help. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kulapavana 0 Report post Posted February 10, 2004 I have heard that that Srila Thakura Bhaktivinode comment regarding "hell" was made in relation to the christian concept of hell which is "eternal damnation without chance of redemption. that kind of hell certainly does not exist (how could God be just if He gave you unlimited punishment for one life of ignoring Him?). hellish planet are clearly described by Srimad Bhagavatam and many other Vedic texts as places of temporary punishment for our transgressions of Lord Krishna's laws Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted February 10, 2004 Go to the Srimad Bhagavatam, Canto 5, Chapter 25 for more information (it could be 24). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
