A Study of the Bhâgavata Purâna; or, Esoteric Hinduism

There are seven planes Bhûr, Bhuvar, Svar, Mahar, Jana, Tapas and Satya. Bhûr is the terrestrial plane. Bhuvar is the astral plane. Svar is the plane of Kâma and desires. These three planes, collectively known as Trilokî, are the planes of personality. Kâma is the guiding principle of existence in Trilokî, and a recurrence of births and re-births its main characteristic.
