Vaikuntha Loka in Hinduism is the abode of Bhagavan Vishnu
and it is the spiritual heaven – those who attained moksha or liberation
permanently reside here as they have escaped from the cycle of birth and death.
They have no rebirth.
It is said that in Vaikuntha consists of only pure goodness
– Satvam. It is self luminous and the entire region has a golden color. The
darkness of ignorance cannot penetrate Vaikuntha.
Description of Vaikuntha Loka
Some holy scriptures describe Vaikuntha Loka. The texts
indicate that there exists a very large twelve storey golden temple which is
resplendent as a thousand suns. The temple is made of pure gold and its pillars
and windows are studded with precious stones. Decorated with thousands of
golden lotuses, the temple houses nectar-filled rivers. In the temple, Vishnu
resides with his consorts. The temple is occupied by all those living beings
that have attained moksha through self realization.
It must be noted that the concept of Vaikuntha is not accept
by all schools of Hindu teaching.
