children through illicit union will have to go to hell. And this is what the science of God confirms by saying that such criminals are sent to hell under the name of Tamisra, Andha-tamisra and Raurava.

The Supreme Lord continues: "It is sometimes said that man knows heaven or hell on this very planet, because infernal chastisements are also visible there."

Sometimes unbelievers refuse the teachings of the holy scriptures concerning hell, and reject their authentic descriptions.
