Rupa
From Theosopedia
A Sanskrit word meaning body or form. The four coarsest of seven categories of “worlds” or beings are sometimes called r™pa as in r¶pa-lokas or r¶pa-devas etc. In the technical sense in theosophy the word implies an atomic or monadic system around a discrete consciousness. It does not necessarily imply concrete physical form, but can relate to any subtle vehicle used by higher beings such as DhyšnI-Chohan. One of the five SKšNDHAS.
