Abstract

Abstract: Vedanta divides its investigation of human uniqueness into five koshas, or strata. It reveals the underlying building blocks of the macrocosm and the universe. It reveals to us the body as a tool for the mind and the soul, from the obvious features of the physical body to the more subtle aspects of the psyche and awareness. It distinguishes each component, demonstrates its functionality, and demonstrates the interrelationships of the several components. It is commonly referred to as Pancha-koshavishleshana, which is the study of the five sheaths and is based on the Taittiriya Upanishad, as the model of the individual or conceptualization of the person.
