I do not believe in any -kind of hell. Rebirth itself is hellish enough, and the -karma is then experienced in a terrible way. Contracted -jnAna is the worst kind of hell I can imagine, since it -alienates one from the blissful essence of God. -Mani I remember reading in one of the speeches of Swami Vivekananda that Vedanta does not admit of any kind of hell or heaven. These are not mentioned in any of the Upanishads and the whole logic of Vedanta would be incompatible with them anyway.
