Can we still say one wants to go to Heaven after death of body? Both heaven and hell (termed swarga and Naraka in Hinduism) are interim places for soul atman to rest if after death of body matching parents are not available on Mother Earth! Sooner matching parents become available; the hibernating soul atman immediately manifests a new body and starts a new cycle of life! Both heaven and hell are not meant for human beings to enter bodily! Bhagavad Gita... the most sacred Scripture of Hinduism existing on Mother Earth is absolutely clear on this point! Belief in God... believing in God Almighty is not related to our entering heaven or hell! Our soul atman after death of body enters heaven if residual balance of karma is positive and hell if negative! All is dependent upon our karma in present life and the residual balance of karma from previous manifestations! As our karma so shall our destiny is! In the domain of God there are no free lunches. Everything results from a system that cannot err. As we sow so shall we reap... nothing less or more says the law of karma. A negative balance of karma in present life can never fetch our soul atman a seat in heaven or vice versa! Praying to God... worshiping God only results in our reaching higher brackets of life on the religious or the spiritual scale! All depends upon our goal of life! After human beings gained enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) and finally salvation (moksha) in present life... did the liberated soul atman enter kingdom of God (termed Vaikuntha in Hinduism)... (Not kingdom of heaven).
