Kosha

Well, kiddo, have you ever seen a Matryoshka doll? It's a toy that has different dolls inside each other- like a doll within a doll within a doll...! That's just like our body! Our body is like a doll with different layers – we call them koshas.

The first kosha is called Annamaya Kosha, and it is our physical body, the doll we see on the outside. We can touch it, move it, and shape it. Just like we take care of our toys, we need to take care of our body by eating healthy food, getting enough sleep, and exercising.

Then comes the Pranamaya Kosha, which is like the energy that moves inside our body like a battery or electricity. It helps us breathe, digest our food, and keep our heart beating. Without this energy, our doll, our body, cannot work.

The third kosha is called Manomaya Kosha, or the emotional layer. We have feelings and emotions, like happiness, sadness, anger, and we express them through our body language, voice, and behavior. This layer is important because it helps us connect with each other and understand how we feel.

The fourth kosha is called Vijnanamaya Kosha, or the layer of wisdom. It is our intellect and judgment, which helps us make good decisions and learn from our experiences. We use our brain and mind to think, plan, and imagine things.

Finally, the fifth kosha is called Anandamaya Kosha, or the blissful layer. We all have moments of happiness, joy, and peace, which comes from deep within us. This layer is our innermost core, the essence of who we are. It connects us with the cosmic power of the universe.

So, just like the Matryoshka doll, our body has different layers which make us human. We need to take care of all the koshas to be healthy and happy. Remember to eat well, breathe deeply, express your feelings, think positively, and connect with your inner self.
