Hindus believe in many realms of existence, and reincarnation determined by one's karma.

The goal of Hinduism is to transcend this process and attain moksha, or liberation, becoming one with Absolute Reality (God, Brahman). It is believed that it usually takes countless lives before this occurs.

I would say that the equivalent of Heaven in Hinduism is thus moksha, or Brahman.

Hindus believe that if you do well on earth (like good deeds and stuff) then you will move up the cycle of power. For example: Two men die, one was a good guy the other wasn't. When the good guy was died he went before the God of Judges and his good deeds out weighed his bad ones so he becomes a more powerful spirt or a minor god. The other man's bad deeds out weighed his good ones, he was then reincarnated as a cow or another type of livestock. After the he dies. They live on and they both die again and go before the God of Judges. They weigh they're deeds again and they just keep doing that forever. What a life, huh?

As per the Katha Upanishad, the ancient Hindu scripture, at death, one of two things happens - the body dies but the ME, the Mind and the Ego, that carries its Karma is reborn in a new body. This happens again and again till we attain Moksha or Mukti which is liberation or freedom. The moment we attain Moksha, we are liberated from the cycle of death and rebirth. Then we are united with God. This is the belief of ancient Hinduism known as Sanatana Dharma. Life after death for a man who lives with ignorance is to experience heaven or hell when he comes back to earth in a new body, because we experience both pleasure and pain in this world. However, as said earlier, if we realize the truth of who we are, at death, we are liberated from Karma and the cycle of death and rebirth. When we are liberated and united with God, there is only bliss, and Ananda.

many people think that it is called nirvana. In fact, nirvana is Buddhist. The Hindu afterlife is acheived after fullfilling your duty as a Brahman. It is called Moksha.

Are there any individuals who have had a near death experience but do not believe in GOD?

Of course. For example, Hindus who have had a near-death experience would see it as affirming their own faith, not that of the Abrahamic God. Near-death experiences are sometimes cited as evidence of an afterlife, but the experiences reported by those who have suffered near-death are inevitably coloured by the sociocultural context of the patient (Experiences Near Death: Beyond Medicine and Religion, by Allan Kellehear). This suggests that the Christian afterlife is experienced by Christians, but the Hindu afterlife is experienced by Hindus.
