The concept of the Higher realm encompasses multiple spiritual and existential planes across various traditions. In Vaishnavism and Purana, it signifies elevated states above the ordinary world that beings can aspire to attain through devotion or piety. Ayurveda views the Higher realm as goals for enhanced physical and psychological health. In Mahayana, it includes favorable existence states like humans and gods, achieved through virtuous actions. Theravada interprets the Higher realm as domains where beings can achieve Nibbana, transcending ordinary human experience.
