Maybe we may not see a religion where the concept of heaven
and hell doesn’t exist, because all of the religions relied on a set of
beliefs, faith, and customs brought in by our ancestors or due to the collision
with other civilizations. Even if there is a place in the universe where life
does exist, still I doubt whether we can find any such diverse life forms such
as humans beings elsewhere, because of the diversity in character as well as
nature. When we consider humans, we can see the most innocent human and also
the most barbican human co-exists together, the poor co-exist with rich, and
the strong co-exist with strong. That may not be the case in the arena of the
universe.
As I have mentioned in most of my articles, in the universe
the size and strength of an object do matter for its survival, the strongest
matter consumes weaker, and weaker life forms have no chances of survival in
the universe, but to surrender. But the universe doesn’t create a matter or a
life form without a reason and purpose to play in its cycles. And when the
stronger life forms threaten to extinct the weaker life forms and invade its
space, the role that was meant to be completed by those extinct life forms
becomes pending, thus creating an imbalance in the cycle of the universe.
As per many religious scriptures, a heaven is a place where
divine beings gods exist, who will protect the law and order in the universe,
and hell is a place where evil demons do exist, that threatens to harm other
life forms in the universe. And we come across a lot of mythological stories
from different religious scriptures across the planet, about the wars between
gods/Angels and other demon creatures descended from hell, who had invaded
planet earth.
and hell, some
religious scriptures like Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism, has detailed explanations
on arrangements of different realms in the universe, where the universe is
divided and charted into different realms.
According to those scriptures there 14 realms/Lokas in the
universe, that includes & heavens and 7hells
7 heavens:
- Brahma Loka: where the creator Brahma resides ( where creation took place )
- Tapa Loka: A place that has the highest vibration of creation, the beings existing here have no shape or identity.
- Jana Loka: The first beings to have a physical body, with the highest lifespan in the universe.
- Mahar Loka: This is the special realm, where the sages who have accomplished great feats from any of the below realms reside.
- Svar Loka: The realm where the lord Indra/Zeus with his companions exist.
- Bhuvar Loka: A realms where other advanced life forms exist.
- Bhur Loka: A realm where earth and other
billions of other life-giving planets exist.

It is mentioned in the book of Vishnu Purana that upon a visit from Narada (celestial messenger) to lower worlds, he notices that the lower worlds (Hell)
were much more advanced than the heavens in the fields of technology and
architecture. As the beings in the lower realms are strongly attached to
materialistic comforts than the higher realms.
Because the universe is filled with powerful life forms,
each having its unique character, strength, and weaknesses, a clash between
them would bring a devastating effect on the universe, so a special governing
body was formed, that would act as a committee/forum to discuss and resolve the
disputes between planets, realms, and life forms, and to protect weak life
forms from invasion or overexploitation of resources and maintain law and order
in the universe. The governing body will be attended by members from all the
realms, and the life forms belonging to weaker realms that are not capable of
space travel will be attended by representatives of the committee.

And the committee will be headed by Zeus/Indra, in Sanskrit
Indra is not a name, Indra means who is in control or who control devas/Angels
and the universe, according to the ancient scriptures, the position of
Indra/Zeus is not permanent or hereditary, anyone from any realm of the
universe can decorate the seat of Indra/Zeus, until he is/has fulfilled the
requirements and duty of protecting the righteousness. The one who decorates
the position of Indra also possesses the most powerful celestial weapon called Vajrayuda
(Thunderbolt) to assist him in fighting the demons that threaten the law and
order in the universe.
So, this could possibly be the reason why gods/Devas
interfered in the affairs of earth in the ancient times, because the earth is
in the Bhur Loka, which is the lowest of the heavens and closer to hell, and
most prone to the attacks from the advanced races of aliens from the lower
worlds(Hell). Being the strongest beings in the universe, it is their duty
(Dharma) to fight to protect the weaker beings in the universe.
