Dear Sriman Vishnu, Swethadwipa is situated in the material universe. Kshirodakasayee vishnu , who is paramathma within our heart and incharge of Sathwik guna is residing in the swethadwipa within this Universe. Vaikuntha is not within this world . this world is totally material.In the end of this material world Viraja river or the causal ocean is there. Beyond this the spiritual world is situated. Krishna says there is no need of sun moon or electricity there. From the body of Narayana the effulgance spread through out the universe from which the the sun in the material world gets light.This light is called Brahma jyothi.If a pure bhaktha dies his atma travels with the material ego, intelligence and mind till it reaches viraja river. then the subtle body takes bath in this river the atma get rid of this subtle body and gets spiritual body suitable to go to Vaikuntha.This i heard from Acharyas and scriptures.
