So here physical body is writing this,prana is sustaining the body to write,mind has generated this question, buddhi is using intelligence and writing this and happiness is felt by mind for asking this question assuming this is a good question? So now the trigger for this question is the Self? Meaning self triggers a question to the mind and mind in turn is asking for buddhis help in turn it uses body and prana to draft this question to satisfy minds unrest, which gives mind happiness and ego the sense of credit for this question asked? Is this. Correct

Because of inherent ego, buddhi thinks that it is doing it. In fact, four kośa-s make us to act and these four kośa-s in conjunction with antaḥkaraṇa cause every action for which ego (part of antaḥkaraṇa) takes credit. Here ānandamayakośa is not related to Bliss arising out of meditation - sat-cit-ānanda.

Is this understanding correct, when an activity is performed say writing this question. Budddhi comes into play and constructs this sentence, when completed the ego says that this has been written properly by you, so ego is enforcing that buddhi is the Self, but it is not because the Self within is guiding this question and buddhi is wording it or the buddhi itself is doing this?Anandamaya kosha here is refers to happiness that we derive from good karma or happiness arising from being with the self during meditation?

No, it is not correct. Lalita Sahasranama describes Her Grandeur. Lalita Trishati is in mantra form and needs proper initiation.

I've heard that ONE name of the Lalita Trishati is more powerful than the WHOLE of Lalita Sahasranam. Is this true? Does one need initiation to chant the Lalita Trishati?

Coma state is different from unconscious state. When the mind enters unconscious state, everything in him becomes dormant and only the Self shines. To realize the Self, all other activities should cease.

Does that mean when a person is in coma (unconscious state, not medically induced), his Gross body functions but subtle body is dormant(don’t know what really happens) and self still shines because of which the gross functions remains active?

Long periods of thoughtlessness is the only indicator that you are in Nirvikalpa Samadhi. Ravi has told me it is better not to try and analyze what state you are in and simply try to exist.

Very surprising Raviji!!!. I have given reference of Brhugu valli. Upanishads talk about Brahman only.That to advaita Brahman.Bruguvalli is 3rd of Tattireeya upanishad full text of which talks about Annamaya, Pranamaya, manomaya, Vijnanamaya and anandamaya. Once, Bhrugu asks his father Varun to tell about Brahman, (adheehi bhagavo brahmaitee) he instructed him to know it through Tapas (tapaso tapyataa). Then he experiences all these panchakosas.Regarding gross body: My question is "Brahman is known through Gross body only? or can be known without gross body also?"You clarified that we realise Brahman with our buddhi (spiritua knowledge). Please clarify me what is the aadhar of buddhi? Whether buddhi is there without gross body? Please note that I am not saying gross body is Brahman. Hope you understand my thirst for knowledge asking this question and explain us deep insights
