AT THE FEET OF THE MOTHER
Ask Alok da

As you guided me that vital is equivalent to pranamaya kosh, then what are the other terms used in Sri Aurobindo’s work which can be related to anamaya, manomaya, anandmaya and vigyana Maya kosh🙂

Annamaya kosha is the physical sheath, the sthool sarira, the body. Pranamaya kosha is the vital sheath or the sookshma sarira (though some include the mind and vital together). Manomaya kosha is the mental sheath. The Vigyanamaya kosha is the Supramental body (not yet organised for an individual). Quite a few mistranslate it as higher intellect but the intellect is not a sheath but a function of the mind. Anandmaya is the Bliss body.

Affectionately,

Alok Da
