Probably the best write up on the secrets of huge number of Hindu Gods, since past 1000 years !
All the above four has same meaning.

According to the Indian philosophical doctrines, human being is a nature, or a part of the nature. This is very much evident that human is not different from the nature.  Human being is same like other living creatures; with only difference that human has the discriminative and imaginative brain. The body of human being is a simple transformation of food into the organs. Even modern scientists can’t deny this fact.  Food is a dead material and hence human body is also a dead material.  It is the inner God who makes the dead material of the body live. It was news on front page of Yahoo.com just before a week (Sept 7/8, 2008) that the scientists created life from some substance. This is a great defeat of the theories of Monotheism, Pantheism or Polytheism.  This is miserable defeat to the theory that “God has created human being”. Human has created a life and proved that he is not different than God. The living and nonliving are the two parts of nature ( Jada and Chetan). Jada becomes Chetan and Chetan becomes Jada.  Living becomes nonliving and nonliving becomes living.  Food becomes body organs and become living creature; living creature becomes a dead material after death. So, philosophically there is no difference in dead and alive except absence of knowledge. They are “inter-convertibles.”  In the food form the knowledge is inactive and in the body form knowledge is active. Knowledge is God. God is knowledge.  Vedas say “Pradhynam Brahma” (knowledge is God). In AtharvaShirsha, the prayer of Lord Ganesha,  Lord is praised with the words “ You are knowledge and science”.  (Twam Jnanmayo Vijnanmayosi) In India therefore, people worship food, people do not insult food, and people distribute food to all and everybody including animals and birds.  Why in India, all over the world irrespective of the religions, people like to feed the animals and the birds. This is their worship of God knowingly or unknowingly. They have this inherent sense. People love the animals, birds, trees and all the natural things.  Because, irrespective of whatever their religion teaches, every person intrinsically understands that all these things are not different from him. Nature was not created for human enjoyment. Never!. Human can’t enjoy nature.  The people with this kind of wrong attitude find at the fag-end of their life that they were enjoyed by the nature, but they could not enjoy the nature.


Now this living and nonliving elements (Jada and Chetan) mixed together comes to 33.  These thirty-three are derived from ONE Nirguna Nirakar God.  (Formless Property-less God).  These 33 are merely concept and hence called 33 Koti, or 330 millions. Among these 33, the contribution of the Chetan  (living) is 8.  This is very popularly known in India as Ashtadha Prakriti.  ( 8 parts of nature in form of a living creature).  The twenty five (25) is the contribution from both the Jada and Chetan (25 part of the nature in the form of living-nonliving substance.). Thus the total is 33.   Let us see the 33 elements:

5 sheaths ( Pancha Kosha) + 5 sense organs ( Pancha Jnanendriya) + 5 acting organs (Panch Karmendriya) + 5 living force (Pancha Prana) + 5 subjects of perception (Panch Vishaya) =  Total 25.  This 25 makes the total Jada Prakriti  (Non living elements).  This is added to 8 of the Ashtadha Prakriti.  The 25 created out of the 5 “interactive” elements  (Panchkrit-Panch Mahar Bhoot)  +  3  AntahKaran i.e.  1. Sense of own existence 2. Mind 3. Discriminatory intelligence.  All the total make 33.   These thirty three are the true creators and rulers of the human being and rest of the universe/nature.

5 Sheaths - 

(i)Annamaya Kosha. Anna means food. All of the physical aspects of life come and go, and are consumed by another aspect of external reality. Thus, the outermost of the koshas is called the sheath of food, or Annamaya kosha.

(ii)Pranamaya kosha. Prana means oxy-Air that keeps the living being alive. It is the vital force that produces the subtle vibrations related to breath, and which are the driving force behind the physical aspect of the senses and the operation of the physical body. It allows the invisible indweller, our True Self to be able to animate in the external world. At the same time, however, it allows the eternally still, silent center of consciousness to be mistakenly identified as the moving, visible physical body.

(iii)Manomaya Kosha. Mana means mind. It is the level of processing thoughts and emotions. It is in direct control of the operation, through the prana, of the physical body and senses. It naturally has doubts, and creates illusions. When it receives clear instructions from the deeper level, it functions quite well. However, when it is shielded over by its illusions, the deeper wisdom gets defunct.
