The Soul in Daily Life — Hinduism and the Concepts of the Atman

<p>In Hindu philosophy, especially as detailed in the Samkhya system, the individual is made up of not just the body (Annamaya Kosha) but also several layers or sheaths (Koshas) that encompass energy, mind, intellect, and bliss. The deepest layer is the Anandamaya Kosha, often associated with the Atman, highlighting the soul&rsquo;s connection to joy and bliss.</p> <p>The concept of Koshas originates from the Taittiriya Upanishad, which is part of the Yajur Veda. According to this ancient text, the human being is composed of five Koshas, arranged in layers from the outermost to the innermost, each representing different aspects of our existence.</p> <p><a href="https://eyeofheaven.medium.com/the-soul-in-daily-life-hinduism-and-the-concepts-of-the-atman-6908826ce430"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
