In order to rectify the sinful mentality of deviant living entities, Krishna subjects them to punishment and suffering in one of the twenty-eight hellish planets situated below Patala. For every destructive activity, there is a particular reaction that one is subjected to. While the graphic descriptions may seem harsh, such experiences are sometimes required to jolt a shift in consciousness.
On the other hand, those who adhere to religious life are elevated to higher planetary systems where the demigods reside. In due course, once their pious credits have been exhausted, they return to this earthly realm. Sukadeva Goswami finally described the Universal Form of the Lord and glorified the Lord’s activities.
