Panchkoshiya Vikas

At Sanskriti Vidyapeeth, we embrace the profound philosophy of Panchkoshiya Vikas infusing Vedic Wisdom into Modern Skilled-Based Education

Panchkoshiya Vikas, based on the ancient Indian philosophy of the five sheaths (koshas), forms the foundation of holistic education. It emphasises the balanced development of the body (AnnamayaKosh), life energy (PranamayaKosh), mind (ManomayaKosh), intellect (VigyanmayaKosh), and soul (AnandmayaKosh). This model nurtures not just academic skills but also emotional strength, ethical values, spiritual awareness, and physical well-being.

This model nurtures not just academic skills but also emotional strength, ethical values, spiritual awareness, and physical well-being.

Integrating Panchkoshiya Vikas into education ensures the all-round growth of a learner, shaping individuals who are intellectually alert, emotionally mature, morally grounded, and spiritually aware-true embodiments of holistic development.

Physical Development (Sharirik Vikas)

AnnamayaKosh represents the physical body, formed and sustained by food and nutrition. It focuses on age-specific balanced physical development, including strength, flexibility, fitness, and endurance. This layer involves the healthy development of senses, posture, and bodily coordination. Proper nutrition, hygiene, and personal health habits are essential to keep this Kosh strong. Daily routines, discipline, and physical activity help build a healthy body and lifestyle. Expansion of physical abilities allows the body to function efficiently over time. AnnamayaKosh emphasizes long-term well-being, keeping in mind a healthy lifespan of one hundred years. A strong physical foundation supports all higher layers of existence.

Development of Life Energy (Pranik Vikas)

PranamayaKosh is the energy body that governs the flow of life force (Prana). It ensures balance, retention, and smooth circulation of energy throughout the body. This layer supports enthusiasm, positivity, and active engagement in life. It controls the proper functioning of major systems such as digestive, respiratory, circulatory, and nervous systems. Balance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems is maintained through this Kosh. Breathing practices and yoga activate and regulate Prana.
