                                            The 5 koshas, or layers, act as a roadmap for our journey of self-discovery.
Annamaya Kosha: Food Sheath
This kosha is responsible for our basic survival needs, like food, water, and shelter. It is through the Annamaya Kosha that we experience the physical world and interact with the natural environment around us
Pranamaya Kosha: Vital Sheath
Pranamaya Kosha plays an important part in the vital functions we need to stay alive, such as breathing, digestion, and circulation.
Manomaya Kosha: Mental Sheath
This kosha is responsible for our cognitive functions, like memory, perception, and reasoning, and is where we process our experiences and emotions.
Vijnanamaya Kosha: Intellectual Sheath
Our intellect, intuition, and inner wisdom are all part of the Vijnanamaya Kosha, making it a key factor in our spiritual growth and development. This kosha is also where we connect with our innermost selves and experience a sense of unity with the universe.
Anandamaya Kosha: Blissful Sheath
Anandamaya Kosha is the bliss-filled sheath. It is the finest and thinnest veil covering the Self (atman) and is also known as the level of the soul. The blissful sheath is what allows us to feel joy, love, and happiness. It is also responsible for our spiritual contentment and liberation, and where we experience our interconnectedness with all things
