Question
Nearest 'Kosha' to Atman according to Vedanta philosophy is called:
The correct answer is
Anandmaya Kosha
In the five-sheath analysis commonly used in Advaita Vedanta, anandamaya is the innermost sheath. The inward sequence is annamaya, pranamaya, manomaya, vijnanamaya and anandamaya. “Nearest” is metaphorical rather than spatial; the Atman is distinguished from the sheaths in this analysis. Pranamaya means the vital sheath, whereas pranayama is breath regulation.
