Yogic philosophy says that a human body is made up of three parts:

  • Physical
  • Astral
  • Causal

In order to obtain the state of complete health, all three parts need to be free from any ailment. The causal body is taken as the innermost body of a person. It is the source of physical and astral bodies. These three parts are further sub-classified into five layers also known as ‘Panch Koshas’. These are:

1) Annamaya kosha – the physical sheath

  • The annamaya kosha (the food sheath) which is very first in classification is the part of the Physical body.
  • It says that our body is whatever food we eat.
  • The food reaches to every cell to provide energy and ultimately become our body.

2) Manomaya kosha – the mental sheath

  • The second is manomaya kosha (the mental sheath) is exactly like the software of a computer whereas the annamaya kosha is the hardware.
  • It is the medium of communicating experiences and sensations of the external world to the intellectual sheath.

3) Pranamaya kosha – the vital sheath

  • The annamaya kosha and manomaya kosha cannot work until they have the life in the body which is provided by the third sheath known as pranamaya kosha (the energy or vital sheath).
  • The vital sheath is composed of five pranas (life-energies) that have distinct functions in the working of the physical body.
  • These five vital pranas/airs (vayus) are conjoined with the five subtle organs of action (speech, hands, legs, organs of evacuation, and procreation) which have their gross counterparts in the physical body.

4) Vijnanamaya kosha – the intellectual or wisdom sheath 

  • Then next is vijnanamaya kosha (the intellectual or wisdom sheath) is the reflection of radiance of soul consciousness.
  • It comprises the mind, intellect, and ego with the five organs of perception and is responsible for all the judgmental actions.

5) Anandamaya kosha – the blissful sheath

  • The innermost layer or sheath of all the koshas is the anandamaya kosha which is the reflection of the blissfulness of the soul.
  • It is the cause of both the subtle and gross bodies and is the result of harmony of all other sheaths.

Eight north Indian Ocean countries, namely, Bangladesh, India, the Maldives, Myanmar, Oman, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Thailand, were asked to contribute names so that a combined list could be compiled. Each country gave eight names and a combined list of 64 names was prepared. This list is currently in use, and all cyclones arising in the north Indian Ocean are named from this list, with one name from each country being used in turn. Almost 38 or 39 names from the list have been used up, but since many cyclones dissipate long before they hit land, their names rarely figure in the papers or other media. The names that people do know about, and remember are, naturally, those that were most destructive ones, or very recent. Aila, in 2009 is remembered with a shudder for the enormous destruction it caused in West Bengal and Bangladesh; Phaillin, also for the damage it caused when it hit the Odisha coast in 2013. Two harmless cyclones, which also might remain in peoples memory, are the more recent ones of 2014 — Hudhud, which threatened the east coast of India and Nilofar, which was expected to, but did not, devastate the western coast. The names in the cyclone list are usually words one associates with storms; words which mean water or wind or lightning in various national languages. Sometimes they are names of other things — birds or flowers or precious stones. The name Aila, contributed by the Maldives means fire, the name Phaillin from Thailand means sapphire, the name Hudhud from Oman is the name of a bird, probably the hoopoe, and the name Nilofar, given by Pakistan, is the Urdu name of the lotus or water lily. The eight names suggested by India, and which are in the list of 64, are Agni, Akaash, Bijli, Jal, Leher, Megh, Sagar and Vayu, meaning in that order, fire, sky, lightning, water, wave, cloud, sea and wind. Five of these names (that is, up to Leher) have been used so far.
Which country did not contribute to the list of the cyclone names?
