(4.) AKASA or AKASHA is a term for either space or æther in traditional Indian cosmology, depending on the religion. The term has also been adopted in Western occultism and spiritualism in the late 19th century. In many modern Indo-Aryan languages and Dravidian languages the corresponding word, (often rendered Akash), retains a generic meaning of “sky.”
