BG Chapter 13.13 - The 5 Koshas! By HG Shyamsundar Prabhuji

What are Koshas - 5 layers that cover the consciousness of every living entity.



1.Annamayi Kosha - The living entity is only concious about food nothing else appeals to the living entity.

2.More than eating when he understands then he is in Pranamayi Kosha. There is life in this world, this is life in everything.

3.After Pranamayi Kosha he enters Jnanamayi Kosha - knowledge and then he enters

4.Vigyanamayi Kosha or practicing this Kosha which is practicing of the Jyana he has acquires.

5.And from practicing he reaches the inner most kosha or Anandamayi Kosha which is eternal bliss and love for Krsna.

Example is a child - Annamayi Kosha - he puts everything in his mouth. and then he realizes that Pranamayi Kosha - he learns wow there are

Ananda Brahma has realized the supreme personality of Godhead Krsna.

Vijyana Brahma is practicing of the knowledge he has acquired. Knowledge is there but no realization. When we put this knowledge inot practice and then he understands that I am this body noth spirit soul but that realization isn't complete - I am this spirit soul but where am I coming from - from Krsna my happiness depends on Krsna. This Vijyanami Kosha devotee then starts devotional service and reaches Anandmayi Kosha the pure bliss.

Only by the process of devotional service can you reach Pure Bliss.

0. Sakarma Yoga - Very much attached to fruits.
1. Nishkaam karma Yoga - When he graduates and he understands I need to give these fruits to Krsna
2. Jyana Yoga - Knowledge of the Supreme Yoga - Who is this higher personality = Krsna Jnana
3. Dhyana Yoga or Astanga Yoga = Actually I need to perform Dhyana or think of Supersoul
4. Bhakti Yoga = That Supersoul is Bhagavan or Krsna and then he takes to Bhakti Yoga.

At the Jnanamayi = Brahmajyoti level
At Vijnanamayi Kosha = Paramatma level
At Anandamayi Kosha = Bhagavan level

Higher step includes the lower steps.
