Hare Krishna, my intention and attitude in sending you this message, is that Srila Prabhupada wanted us to transmit his teachings to everyone, without wanting anything in return.

I share what chapter 26 of the 5th chant of Srimad Bhagavatam says about the underworld. Chapter 26 speaks of the underworld, where the assistants of Yamarāja apply various punishments to sinful men. As stated in the Bhagavad-gītā (3.27):
"The spiritual soul that is confused by the influence of the false ego, believes itself the author of activities that are actually performed by the three modes of material nature." Fools believe they are independent of all kinds of laws. They do not believe in God or any regulatory principle, and they think they can act as they like. In this way, they engage in various sinful activities, as a result of which they have to suffer life after life the punishment of the laws of nature in different infernal conditions. The basic principle of their sufferings is their foolishness to consider themselves independent despite being under the strict control of the laws of material nature. These laws act due to the influence of the three modes of nature; for that reason, human beings also act under three different types of influences, and depending on how they act they suffer different reactions in their next life or in their current life. The activities of religious people and the activities of atheists are different; Due to this, the reactions they have to suffer are also different.
Verse 6 of this chapter says: The king of the pitās is Yamarāja, the very powerful son of the sun god. He lives in Pitriloka in the company of his personal assistants and, following the rules and regulations established by the Supreme Lord, makes his agents, the yamadūtas, bring before him all sinful men immediately after they die. Once under his jurisdiction, he judges them conveniently according to the sinful activities that each one has performed, and sends them to one of the many infernal planets so that they receive their corresponding punishment. MEANING BY SRILA PRABHUPADA: Yamarāja is not a mythological or fictional character; he has his personal abode, Pitriloka, of which he is king. The agnostics do not believe in hell, but Śukadeva Gosvāmī confirms the existence of the Naraka planets, which lie between Pātālaloka and the Garbhodaka ocean. Yamarāja has been commissioned by the Supreme Personality of Godhead with the mission of ensuring that human beings do not violate His rules and regulations. As confirmed in the Bhagavad-gītā (4.17): "The complexities of action are very difficult to understand. Therefore, we must know adequately what action is, what is prohibited action, and what inaction is. " We must understand the nature of karma, vikarma and akarma, and act accordingly. That is the law of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The conditioned souls, who have come to the material world in search of the pleasure of the senses, are allowed to enjoy the senses under certain regulative principles. If they violate these principles, they have to be judged and punished by Yamarāja, who takes them to the infernal planets and imposes the appropriate punishment on them to return them to Kṛṣṇa consciousness. However, by the influence of māyā or illusion, the conditioned souls remain spellbound by the mode of ignorance. Thus, despite the repeated punishments of Yamarāja, they do not regain sanity, but continue to live in the material realm, committing sinful activities over and over again.
