Nurturing Your Child’s Body & Breath
As an Indian parent, you want the best for your child—a foundation that nurtures their body, mind, and spirit while staying true to Bharat’s timeless wisdom. At Namo Bharati Vidyalay, we follow the Pancha Kosha philosophy to ensure holistic growth for your pre-schooler.
In this first part of our Pancha Kosha Series, we explore how the Annamaya Kosha (physical sheath) and Pranamaya Kosha (energy sheath) lay the groundwork for your child’s well-being.
What are the Annamaya and Pranamaya Koshas?
The Pancha Kosha framework, rooted in the Taittiriya Upanishad, describes the five layers of human existence. The Annamaya Kosha is the physical body, nurtured through healthy habits, while the Pranamaya Kosha is the energy body, sustained by breath and vitality.
For pre-schoolers, these layers are critical for building a strong foundation for lifelong health and emotional balance.
“The outermost and physical body, the Annamaya Kosha, is the expression of ourselves which can be seen and felt..
Annamaya Kosha
The energetic layer or “life force” in Sanksrit is facilitated by our breath and gives life to all our tissues and physical systems throughout our body.
