Panhkoshas, Yajurveda, the gross body, celestial body, sachiddananda.

Abstract The Vedic tradition is deeply rooted in human life whether we talk about traditional, cultural, social, intellectual or spiritual spheres. It provides the visionary power to realise the truth of human life that the body made of matter has existence till the divine flame is enkindled. All the happenings that occur at the physical level are witnessed by the jivatma as a result nothing can be hidden from the life forces (air, fire, sky, ten directions). Due to the lack of vision, senses are generally limited to grossness at the physical level. The logistic support which is generated by the time being is confined in the cobweb of illusion and delusion. In that case, the presence of the pure self is covered in a layer of darkness. A person is fastened in such a negative wave that both mission and vision dwindle. Life is bestowed by God to realize the precious platform and to take action to march from Annamaya Kosha (Physical Consciousness) to Anandmaya Kosha (Celestial Consciousness). This paper aims to study the Panchkosha and how these five sheathes are enshrined with the different kundalinis and further, they lead the Pran Vayu to transcend from the physical energy to the cosmic energy. Human behaviour is much more formed and deformed as the life force transcends from one to another kosha. The body is not only the prison but the means to salvation. Bhagavad-Gita, Taitriya Upanishad, Panchkosha by Swami Yogananda and other texts are sources to develop the hypothesis, dive into the Vedic epistemology, and justify the facts.
