[Advaita-l] Rainbow Body

[K Kathirasan]

Namaste

The rainbow body has got nothing to do with Jivanmukti. And such ideas are not found in Adi Shankara’s works (at least in his prasthana traya commentaries). The closest you get to ideas about bodily transformation occur in Hatha Yoga texts. 

There is no need to achieve breathlessness as the Self is unaffected and untouched by breath. Continue to breathe please.
