Jiva in Hindu philosophy is used to denote an atma when it becomes conditioned under the influence of factors like avidya or karma, and falsely identifies itself with prakriti or primordial matter which manifests in the form of chitta, ahankara, manas, buddhi, indriya-s and the physical body. Thus, we can say that atma due to its false association with limiting adjuncts like manas, buddhi, physical body etc. attains the state of a jiva. Most people think that there is no difference between a jiva and an atma and consider the two words to be synonymous. Both the words are very commonly translated into English as soul. In this video Babaji and Rajiv discuss the concept of jiva and its distinction from soul. This will help us to understand that atma and jiva are two distinct entities and neither of them maps onto the idea of soul as understood in the Abrahamic religions.
