the evolutes of prakriti

From the Bhakti List Archives

Kasturi Varadarajan • January 22, 2001 


Namaste. Prakrti, from its primordial condition, evolves via the
mahat and the ahamkara into the ten indriyas, manas, the five
gross elements and the five subtle elements or tanmatras. There
is a parallel with the subtle and gross bodies (sukshma and
sthula shariras) of the jiva. (take for example the ten indriyas.)

Is there some idea behind this parallel that has been elaborated
by vedantic acharyas ?

(I saw this parallel mentioned in some book.)

best wishes
Kasturi
