The Anandamaya kosha or sheath made of bliss ananda is in Vedanta Vedantic philosophy the most subtle or spiritual of the five subtle body levels of embodied self . It has been interpreted differently according to specific schools of Indian and also Theosophical thought. The Anandamaya kosha in traditional Advaita Vedanta In Advaita Vedanta the Anandamaya kosha is the innermost of the five kosha s or sheaths that veil the Atman Hinduism Atman or Supreme Self. Unlike the sukshma sarira next three more outer koshas , it constitutes the karana sharira or causal body . It is associated with the state of dreamless sleep and Sam dhi samadhi . The Anandamaya kosha according to Subba Row The Indian Theosophy Theosophist Subba Row T. Subba Row correlated the five koshas with Blavatsky s Septenary Theosophy septenary principle . The Anandamaya kosa sheath of bliss or Karanopadhi causal body is here associated with the Spiritual Soul or Buddhi principle the sixth of the seven principles The Anandamaya kosha according to Sivaya Subramuniyaswami In the teachings of Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami http himalayanacademy.com Himalayan Academy , the Anandamaya kosha is not a sheath in the same sense as the four outer koshas, but rather constitutes the Soul spirit soul itself, a body of light. As well as being the Causal body and the repository of karma, it is also the Karana chitta , the causal mind or superconscious mind, of which Parashakti or Satchidananda is the substratum. This Anandamaya kosha evolves through all incarnations until finally merging in the Primal Soul, Parameshvara . It then becomes Sivamayakosha , the body of Shiva Siva .
