It is a belief in Hinduism that every living being has a soul. Although the body of that living being dies, the soul is never dead. The soul finds another body and the process continues. Which body the soul takes depends on the accumulated virtues (punya) from past lives. Hence based on the person's accumulated virtue or sin, soul can take the body of a human being or animal or deity (devas like Indra) etc. This cycle of re-birth of the soul continues for ever, irrespective of what form of body the soul takes. As soon as the soul exhaust the virtues earned or suffers for past sin, the soul starts from square one.
Vaishnavism is a branch of Hinduism that follows God Vishnu. A Vaishnava's soul, who had utmost devotion to God Narayana, will take a form of Narayana (although a separate body) and live with Narayana in his abode - Baikuntha. A soul that visits Baikuntha will be freed from the above mentioned cycle of birth and death for ever. This is known as Moksha.
