Abstract

Gosas are very necessary for the growth of the body. Minerals are formed in the body through this kosha. These are the basic materials for the production of body parts and body production. It can be known that the body is made up of pancha kosa and these minerals are the raw materials for the creation of human race when male and female are conceived. Annamaya kosa is the basic kosa of the body and these are called food body. This food gives the body the necessary energy. The actions of the inner self are visible on the face. Annamaya Kosam makes this clear to us every day through our face. Pranamaya kosham is very helpful for the development of Annamaya kosham. These are known as wind body. This kosham can also be said to be the energy of the body. After rising in the soil of a child, the body experiences Pranamaya kosham. The body is aware. Next is the manon medhosam and the awareness kosam which works together with the pranamaya kosam. These are very helpful in the development of life. There are eight types of yoga for movement of the kosham. These tips are very helpful in implementing them. Through this we can know that the Vijyanmaya Kosam is activated. Therefore, the instinctive state is the Vijyanmaya Kosam that surrounds the body. This is the state of self-awareness according to philosopher J. Krishnamurti says, "Who am I?" The thought should occur to every human being, then the Anandamaya Kosha starts working in this body. This energy can be seen in the body. Thus, through the Kosha, the body, soul and soul work in the same straight line for development in human life and the body passes the state of peace and reaches the state of samadhi. Therefore, the function of the Kosha in the human body is very plays an important role.
