Devaloka

[1] The deva lokas are usually described as places of eternal light and goodness, similar to the concept of Heaven.

[3] Thus, devaloka is viewed by many Hindu sects as a stopping point onto the final destination of an eternal heaven.

These higher planes include Vishnuloka (Vaikuntha), Brahmaloka (Satyaloka) and Sivaloka (Kailasa), places of union with Vishnu, Brahma and Shiva.

Within Hindu traditions, a Devaloka is understood as either a temporary planes of existence due to one's good karma, or a permanent plane of existence that is reached when one is sufficiently attuned to light and good.

[4] Within Hindu traditions where devaloka is understood as temporary, one must return to a life on Earth to become better and learn more and thus attain liberation (moksha).
