Although I had to look it up, it's the same, or similar to the Hindu view. But it's also made very clear it's very different from the Abrahamic view.Jains aren't Hindus.

I just saw there's a Hindu concept with the same name. Naraka (Hinduism) - Wikipedia
I always thought Yama's abode was called Yamaloka based on my understanding of the Katha upanishad.
Hindus believe in karma...causality. One's positive actions bring positive consequence, and one's negative actions bring negative consequence.
There is no Hell concept equivalent to Christianity's Hell.

It was suggested in another thread that Hindu and Buddhist scriptures may not accurately reflect the lives of Buddha and Krishna.
I am interested in hearing specifically what scriptures and what parts of these scriptures the denizens of RF feel are flawed or inaccurate with regard to the lives of these two avatara.

Assumo
As you know, both the Buddha and Krishna indicated that from age to age another Buddha arises and Krishna returns to re-establish religion. This is in both scriptures.
If this is true then may we not obtain that information from Their future appearances? I believe this holds the key. For instance Maitreya and Kalki would be quite capable of conveying what is true and what has been misunderstood.
I personally believe this has occurred except that both Maitreya and Kali are One and the same Person.
Interestingly, some popular beliefs have been discarded as erroneous and vain imaginings, while others upheld. One such claim is that Buddha taught that there was one God, but these teachings were lost. Historically this cannot be proven, but if the Spokesperson was indeed Maitreya, then I would entertain no doubt whatsoever about its accuracy.
Why do you think Matrieya exists in multiple faiths?
Maitreya is supposed to be the future Buddha prophesied in their scriptures just as the second coming is promised in the Gospels. I’m saying that I believe that these are One and same Person. So Kalki, Maitreya, return of Jesus are all referring to the coming of a Great Messiah which I am firmly convinced, has already appeared and that in time ‘all eyes will see’.
Why do you think Judaism doesn't believe in the second coming of the Messiah?
Its still awaiting like all the other religions.
I'm also interested to hear which specific parts of those scriptures are flawed.It was suggested in another thread that Hindu and Buddhist scriptures may not accurately reflect the lives of Buddha and Krishna.

In the case of Krihna and Shiva, their lives very much reinforce their teachings so I would think that their lives play a very important or even essential role in how they affected the development of human civilisation.From a historical perspective, the reliability of the biographies is not established at all. Though it should not make much of a difference as the teachings are what matters, not the life events.
I believe that hell is being alone for eternity in outer darkness. What do you think about that? Everything that exists has order. That makes more sense than a dimension of demons punishing people.
How does karma work?
What do you think about the belief of the sowing and reaping of life?
