In Abrahamic faiths, heaven and hell are physical destinations after one dies. In Hindu philosophy- there do seem to be heaven and hell- but also reincarnation. How are these two made compatible?

1People in Hells and Heavens are for limited time frame, it works that way, after it they are borne in some other realms based on their Karma!– TezzMay 24, 2021 at 12:08

Abhrahmic Religions have linear time based theology and thus have a definite starting and ending point. The end defines who gets hell or heaven for eternity. Hinduism however, has eternal kaal-chakra (cyclic time), thus except the Supreme (Brahman) everything is temporary and subject to periodic creation (srishti) and dissolution (pralaya). Thus Hindu hell and heaven are not a permanent state of existence.– ViviktaMay 24, 2021 at 12:37

@Vivikta Thank you. Could you please then elaborate the role of heaven and hell in Hinduism? Please consider writing it as an answer, so that I can accept it! Thanks.– ChinGMay 24, 2021 at 12:51

For the Abhrahmic part, I don't have references. And it might be problematic if I cite them here, even if I find them.– ViviktaMay 24, 2021 at 13:04

@Vivikta could you then just write about the role of heaven and hell in Hinduism then?– ChinGMay 24, 2021 at 13:10
