Panchakosha viveka-five sheaths IAYT
Annamaya-physical
Pranamaya- vital energy-life
Manomaya- perception,
analysis, memory, emotions
Vijnanmaya-discrimination
Anandamaya- true nature of myself
Annamaya Kosa
Matter (Anna) based aspect of our physical
personality is called Annamaya Kosha.
Pancha Bhutas namely earth (Prithvi),
water(Jala or Apa), fire (Agni or Tejas), wind
(Vayu) and space (Akash)
This is normally nourished by the gross food
that we consume.
Pranamaya kosha
Prana is the basic fabric of this
universe both inside and outside
our body.
A uniform harmonious flow of
prana to each and every cell of
the Annamaya kosha keeps
them alive and healthy.
Prana flows through subtle
channels called Nadis
A balance between all these five
pranas is health and imbalance
is disease.
Manomaya Kosha
Mind, which is defined as a conglomeration of
thoughts.
It responds to the input through sense organs.
The mind carries on its different functions
such as perception (Manah), memory
(chittah), and ego (Ahankara).
Manomaya Kosha
The thought circulates in mind and citta which
soon goes on recycling – causes emotions.
Emotions are characterized by feelings such as
‘likes or dislikes’, ‘love or hate’, backed by the
heavy ‘I’ (the ego).
That is the root cause of all human joy &
distress.
Vijnanamaya Kosha
Sheath of Intellect.
Vijananamaya continuously
guides the manomaya kosha
to get mastery over the basic
instincts.
Freedom element inbuilt in all
human beings, guides him to
discriminate what is ‘good &
bad’ , ‘right & wrong’, ‘useful
& not useful’ to move towards
long term sukha (happiness).
Anandamaya Kosha
Anandamaya kosha – the bliss
layer of our existence.
This is the most subtle aspect of
our existence which is devoid of
any form of emotions;
A state of total silence – a state of
complete harmony and perfect
health.

SARA SAMANYA
Basic Common
Concept of Disease
When the emotions become powerful, they start
governing our actions against what is right.
Strong likes and dislikes have come to play at
Manomaya kosa.
These starts governing our actions causing
imbalance going against cosmic law.
This ‘going against cosmic laws’ leads to
imbalances called Adhi or Stress.
Long standing Adhis get pushed into
pranamaya and annamaya kosha causing
Vyadhis.
