Hare Krishna, Dandabat –
Prabhuji – in Bhagabat Geeta it is said that, - Basansi Jirnani yatha Bihay ……. And as per Srimad Bhagabatam – a person goes to yamalok just after his death, respected / arrested by Yamaduts as per his accumulated sin / punya for judgment in the courtyard of Dharmaraj.
But what is the justification of Sudhikriya for 10 days. We have listened the said person stays around his house till his sudhikriya and pretakarma is completed. If a person lefts this material world and goes to yamalok without delay, then what is the justification of sudhikriya and pretakarma and asti bisarjan in ganga.
Prabhuji – What is Pitru lok. Who are staying there. We have listen that, any person gets another body after getting suffering or honour by Yamaraj after his death (Basansi Jirnani …). Is our previous generation reside in Pitrulok. If they reside, why they have not got another body just after their death as per Basansi Jirnani Yatha Bihaya ……

Hare Krsna Prabhuji,
PAMHO.
My understanding is - if one is very very sinful, only then he goes to hell. Descriptions of different kinds of hell related with the sin committed is mentioned in Srimad Bhagawatam Canto 5. Otherwise one takes birth in different life forms or even human life form and has to undergo the reactions of both pious and sinful activities.
Suddha kriya is recommended in the scriptures. If this karma is not done, then the soul may be trapped in its journey to the next planet/ life form and end being a ghost/ pret and trouble the family itself. These are done to make the path of the departed soul clear/ obstacle free.
Pitr lok is one planetary system. Typically, if someone is very attached to family and has done pious activities, they go to this loka. After some time, they are reborn in the same family most of the times as their own descendent.
Sorry, I am in a bit of hurry.
I hope I have asnwered all your queries though.
Haribol,
Your servant,

Not in all cases one is guarded by yama dutas. If one is very sinful, then the yamadutas come and arrest. Other wise, material nature transfers the soul.
We have listened the said person stays around his house till his sudhikriya and pretakarma is completed.
This is when the soul is very attached to the family members, house, property etc.
What is Pitru lok. Who are staying there ?
Pitru loka is generic name for place of where forefathers are residing. Depending on one's karma material nature awards destination.
why they have not got another body just after their death as per Basansi Jirnani Yatha Bihaya
They get a body suitable for the activities in respective planets. That body may not be like our body. Activities also will be different. Only in rare cases, like ghost etc material nature doesn't award body.
The more we get into the details of karma kanda process, the more we get will be bewildered. Best is to adopt Krsna consciousness as Krsna says in the conclusion of Bhagavad Gita
sarva-dharmaan parityajya
maam ekam sharanam vraja
aham tvaam sarva-paapebhyo
mokshayishyaami maa shucah
Abandon all varieties of religion and just surrender unto Me. I shall deliver you from all sinful reactions. Do not fear." Thus the Lord takes all responsibility for one who surrenders unto Him, and He indemnifies such a person against all reactions of sins.
