What are PanchaKosas?

Dear Chittu Manni,

Thanks for your reply. I guess then the sukshma sariram is a super set of the sthula sariram.. I was confused because I thought it to be something different from the former and hence kept wondering what are the other organs we didnot cover before. I will keep waiting for the other episodes to understand the concepts deeper. Honestly I feel that you are doing a great job

Love,
Gayu

 

Dear Chitra,
Feels good to be back....but have missed out for more than a month, that i really need to get back fast. This chapter u are discussing is so apt to what i have just experienced and trying to understand the mystery of life and death.
Made good reading and am trying to figure out a lot in my mind.
Thanks once again for making us think so deeply and understand our roots....sometimes i do wonder what life is all about? So these posts are real eyeopeners for such thoughts, isn't it?

 

Dear Chitra mam,

Beautiful explanation about Panchakosas but i think it will take some more readings to get familiarize with the terms.
even i got the doubt that Kamla pointed out about the connection between Second chapter of Gita and Vedanta and got it cleared.

Thanks once again for making us understand in a simple way.

cheers

Dear Mrs. Chith, after the Krishna Jayanthi celebrations I am reading your post of Panchkosas, which I was waiting to read. I read only once. But the FB and the replies you give, makes me understand it more better. Thank you once again for your work.I am making it a point to go through each day to understand the 'terms' in Gita to fully understand it.Sriniketan

 

Dear chith,
Again in a nut shell you have clearly explained the definitions. I find your connecting the panchakosas with the three sarirams very apt and clear. I also feel that tohave a continuity of understanding we shoule revise the older posts and be ready for the new one.
Regards,
Meenu

 

Dear C

Many thanks for the lucid classification and explanation of the PanchaKosa.

The Q&A session was equally interesting and informative.

It is interesting to note that when the mind is disturbed, the food and vital air kosas are disturbed and we fall sick. I was recently listening to an audio book, where the author who is a meta physicist when diagnosed with cancer, started practising to control her thoughts by eliminating the negative ones. She supplemented the control with physiotherapy and eventually got rid of it without any surgery.

What is the difference between mind and intellect. Is it more of the noun-verb relationship??

Like Pavithra pointed out, even I find some change and maturity of thought especially after repeatedly reading the karma yoga(s). Looking forward to more such posts.
