The Story of Kosha
Kosha carries meaning from two ancient traditions. In Hebrew, it echoes 'kosher' (kasher) — meaning worthy, proper, or fit — a word embedded in Jewish law and culture for over two millennia. In Sanskrit, 'kosha' refers to the sheaths or coverings of the soul described in Hindu philosophy, the layers of consciousness that surround the atman.

In Vedantic Hindu philosophy, the five koshas (sheaths) — from the physical body to the bliss body — represent the layers of existence surrounding pure consciousness, making Kosha a name of profound spiritual depth.
