<P> There is no permanent heaven or hell in Hinduism . In the afterlife , based on one 's karma , the soul is reborn as another being in heaven , hell , or a living being on earth ( human , animal ) . Gods too die once their past karmic merit runs out , as do those in hell , and they return getting another chance on earth . This reincarnation continues , endlessly in cycles , until one embarks on a spiritual pursuit , realizes self - knowledge , and thereby gains mokṣa , the final release out of the reincarnation cycles . This release is believed to be a state of utter bliss , which Hindu traditions believe is either related or identical to Brahman , the unchanging reality that existed before the creation of universe , continues to exist , and shall exist after the universe ends . </P>
