[Shri Prabhakar asked: How does pithru loka look like. Is it a resting place for souls after they complete the journey in this three dimension world?]
Swami rerplied: The world in which we are living at present is called Martya loka. Above this exists, the Preta loka in which souls after death rest for ten days facing the enquiry of God. Above this lies Naraka Loka, the hell in which sinners are punished for their sins. Above this exists Pitru loka in which the souls with mixed good and bad deeds exist as an intermediate between good and bad. All these four lokas are called as Avantara lokas or sub-parts of Bhuloka. Above the Bhuloka lie Bhuvarloka or Jyotirloka, the region of stars. Above the Bhuvarloka lies the Svarga loka, which is the world of good deeds or heaven. These upper worlds are not seen by the naked eye of human beings and divine grace is needed for visualizing these worlds.
