Where is Heaven & Hell

heaven and hell
In veda's the mention is about one DYOUW loka.It means the luminous world. Those who are in this DIVAA lokaa (place of light) are known as DEVAs. These beings are equal to angels and Gibireels in other reliigions.They are not powerful beyond a limit. But it is said that in order to attain enlightenment one deva will have to be born as human being and engage in pursuit. This idea is belived by Buddhists also. Their devatas are not gods,but lesser beings.Buddhists do not have God but they have Devas. This state of experience is collectively known as Heaven. Heaven is not a space. But it is plain. You know there are different frequencies for energy forms and radiations.Likewise Matter can also have different existance in different frequencies.Thus heaven is a state of experience which does need space but an ethereal space in different frequency. Further the vedas mention about DYAAVA PRITHWIs. The simple meaning is Heaven and earth.But a deeper probe into the connotation reveals that they are world of enlightment and world of earthly experiences respectively. The realm of awareness (also known as Chith or Bhaathy) and the realm of experience (a.k.a. Ananda or Priyam) So we should consider the term heaven as such. Those who know go to heaven.And the hell is left for the ignorant.
However, vedas do not mention much on the concept of hell.But indian scriptures which are of later origin,go to the extent of even classifying them as kumbheepata naraka,lalabhaksha naraka etc ect. Since we have now identified the heaven as the world of awareness and the prithwi or the earth as the world of experience, I think we may be right to consider the naraka or hell as the realm of the ignorance which make suffering.
