The five coverings which make up a being

1.Annamaya Kosha(Body sheath) : People think the body as everything and never think about the existence of the soul.Only one among a million would have broke this layer.

2.Pranamaya Kosha(Covering of breath) :Bodily organs get tired but pranas are never tired.Their function continues while sleeping,waking etc.

3.Manomaya Kosha (Covering of Manas) : Creates both positive and negative thoughts.

4.Vignyanamaya Kosha (Covering of the intellect) : Here a person can do many sidhis.If this layer is not removed properly then it leads to rebirths.

5.Anandamaya Kosha (Layer of Bliss) : This is the place of bliss and the place where the soul resides.The knot of inanimate and animate is here.

Inorder to feel eternal bliss a person is supposed to break all these five layers.
