Annamaya kosha
From Hindupedia, the Hindu Encyclopedia
We examine the impact of the current colonial-racist discourse around Hindu Dharma on Indians across the world and prove that this discourse causes psychological effects similar to those caused by racism: shame, inferiority, embarrassment, identity confusion, assimilation, and a detachment from our cultural heritage. |
Annamaya kosha (the food body) is the physical body of blood, bone, fat, and skin, which is perceived through the senses. This is the grossest level of human manifestation. The level of awareness is of the physical plane.
