Those who kill animals with 5 sense, eat their flesh and meat, who accumulate excessive and unnecessary assets, commit abortion, disobey and show disregard to the Religious Preachers, and those who begin worldly activities on big scale- such souls get Hell. As per the scriptures, Pains in Hell are caused by 1. the Paramãdhãmees, 2. Paraspar pain i.e. pains caused by the lives in Hell among themselves, and 3. Kshetra pain i.e. the pains caused by the geographical and climatic conditions in the Hells.
In the Hell unbearable pains and tortures of highest and ultimate category are to be suffered. Higher the quantum of sins, the longer is the span of life in the Hell.
[Navkar - The extremely powerful Mahamantra containing in all 9 phrase or stanzas and in all containing 68 words, it is the Mahamantra and is Eternal.]
The sufferings in Hell can be put to an end by Japa. (i.e. chanting of mantras etc.)
After hearing the description of Hell, if faith arise about Hell, one would certainly change life style. Most of the people do not fear Hell. Eating after sunset is the first door to Hell. "But you would say that the life styles due to service and business, are such, that one can not stay without eating after sunset." But would the Paramadhamees forgive on hearing this? (OF COURSE, NOT) You cannot bear hunger and thirst for one night, then how would you be able to tolerate it for thousands, lakhs and innumerable years in Hell? You think that whatever will happen to others, would happen to you and as such if you continue committing of the sins, then who would save you from Hell? You think that there is no Hell, but what will be position and condition if it does exist? Did you ever think? (Even) Shrenik and Krishna, the prime worshippers of God-had to go to Hell. (as a result of their sinful karmas)
We shout and scream by today's slightest pain then how would we tolerate numerous pains of Hell all together? If one doesn't want to go to Hell, he should practice Tapa, Tyaag, and Sanyam (i.e. penance, abandonment and self - restraint) and thereby put an end to sinful Karmas. (Only) During Tirthankar's (God's) Kalyānayak of 5 types, there appears light in all the seven Hells.
Tapa and Japa i.e. penance and chanting mantra etc. has the powers to protect and save the soul from getting birth in Hell,/reduce life span in Hell by following types of Tapa i. e. Penance:
By Navkarshi - 100 years, By Porshi - 1,000 years, By Saddh Porshi - 10,000 years, By Purimuddh - 1,00,000 years, By Avaddh - 10 Lakh years, By Ekāsanā - 1 crore years [ i.e. only 1 lunch before sunset in a day). By Nivi - 10 crore years, By Ekalthānu - 100 crore years, By Ayambil - 1,000 crore years, By One Upvās - 10,000 crore years. (Fasting with/without boiled water, Which is to be consumed before sunset). By two Upvās - 1 Lakh crore years, By three Pachhkhãn of Upvās - 10 lakh crore years. The lives in Hell Which nullify / end / clear off their sinful karmas by suffering tremendous pains & sorrows in Hell - those much sinful karmas can be nullified/ ended / cleared off, even by perfoming Tapa i.e. penance as shown by the Jinas i.e. the Gods.
The ratio / proportion - of suffering the pains & sorrows in Hell which can be nullified / ended - by counting / chanting Mantra i.e. Navkar Mahamantra - is as below :
Chanting of Navkar - The period of sufferance in Hell - which is ended without actual sufferance in Hell i.e. only by chanting of Navkar Mahamantra. Whole Navkar for 108 times 54,000 sãgaropam years, Whole Navkar for 1 time, 500 sãgaropam. One phrase of Navkár 50 sãgaropam. One word of Navkar (out of 68 words) 7 sãgaropam.
[Upvãs - Performance of penance of fast i.e. nothing to eat only boiled water can be used for drinking and only before sunset. The sufferings of Hell can be put to an end by performance of penance as per the Directions /Orders of the Gods.)
[4] THE APPEARANCE OF LIGHT IN 7 HELLS, DURING THE KALYANAKS (FIVE) OF THE TEERTHANKARAS (GODS) IT IS AS UNDER :
The light in 1st Hell - similar to the sunlight, the light in 2nd Hell - similar to the sunlight covered with clouds, the light in 3rd Hell - similar to the full moonlight, the light in 4th Hell - similar to the full moonlight covered with clouds, the light in 5th Hell - similar to the light of a planet, the light in 6th Hell - similar to the light of the group of stars, and the light in 7th Hell, is similar to the light of a star.
[5] King Shrenik in 1st Hell and in the first (pratar) phase, had 84 thousand years of life period to suffer in Brihatsangrahani Hell mentioned in Lok swaroop Bhavna, and it's description gives the hair - raising experience.
