Tapoloka means those who have performed here severe penances, and they are transferred there in Tapoloka. In Tapoloka, when there is destruction, annihilation of this material world, in the Tapoloka there is no destruction. They get information, “Now annihilation has begun.” There is a great fire, and they still feel that heat, and at that time they transfer themselves to the spiritual sky. That mention we have got. So yajnair istva svargatim prarthayante.
So these materialists… Anyone, even if you go to the higher planets, still, you are materialist. Even you go to the highest planet, Brahmaloka, where the duration of life you cannot calculate, still there is death. The material pangs, birth, death, old age and disease, there is. So in the Bhagavad-gita we get all this information, where other planets are, what is the condition. Simply we have to know it from this book.
Similarly, we have got information of the supreme planet Krsnaloka, or the planet of Krsna, where you can go. The Lord says,
yad gatva na nivartante
tad dhama paramam mama:
“That supreme abode of mine is not illumined by the soon or moon, nor by electricity. One who reaches it never returns to this material world.”
