As a Hindu I believe in reincarnation, with our births being governed by our karma from all past lives. Between this life and the next birth, we have beliefs in a sort of Purgatory. Some may stay there for a while, some may reincarnate immediately. Svarga is the heaven version, Naraka is the less-than-heavenly version, but it is not hell, nor are either permanent. They're just stopovers between births.
