Janarloka In Hinduism

In Hinduism, "Janarloka" is a term that refers to one of the higher realms in the cosmological hierarchy according to Hindu cosmology. It's a realm of existence or a locus where beings of advanced spiritual attainment reside. The concept of lokas (worlds or realms) is a part of Hindu cosmology, which describes various planes of existence within the universe, each with its own characteristics and inhabitants.

Janarloka is situated way far above the earthly realm (Bhuloka) and is considered to be one of the higher celestial realms. It's said to be inhabited by highly evolved beings, sages, and celestial deities who have attained a high level of spiritual realization through their actions and devotion. These beings are often depicted as wise and benevolent figures who play significant roles in the cosmic order.

As per another account, Janarloka is located above Maharloka, the world of Kalpadikaris. At the time of Pralaya, the residents of the Maharloka move to Janarloka, even though the Maharloka is not destroyed.

In Hindu philosophy, the ultimate goal of life is to attain liberation (moksha) from the cycle of birth and death (samsara) and to merge with the divine. The beings residing in Janarloka are believed to have progressed significantly towards this goal and are therefore revered for their wisdom and spiritual accomplishments.
