2. Points to ponder

 Panchkosha theory is based on two words panch + kosha. Panch means five and Kosha means sheaths or layers.

 The five sheaths are; Annamaya Kosha, Pranamaya Kosha, Manomaya Kosha, Vigyanamaya Kosha, Anandamaya Kosha.

 Annamaya Kosha is the outer part of our body (physical body) is called as Annamaya Kosha (Food Sheath).

 Pranamaya Kosha is a best sheath of outer space energy that enters and surrounds the outer part of human body.

 The best way to control the mind is the good thinking and advance qualities.

 Vignanmaya Kosha is the rational body. It can be oriented positively or negatively.

 Anandamaya Kosha is the "body of peace". It is the superior of the five sheaths and difficult to conquer.

 The idea of fivefold development (Panchmukhi Vikas) is given by Mahatma Gandhi which is rooted in the theory of Panch Kosha.

 Development of Koshas leads to the overall personality development.
