Mshunia Kushta
Section of the Mandaean World of Light
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Mandaean cosmology, Mshunia Kushta (Classical Mandaic: ࡌࡔࡅࡍࡉࡀ ࡊࡅࡔࡈࡀ, romanized: Mšunia Kušṭa, lit. 'realm of truth') is a part of the World of Light considered to be the dwelling place of heavenly or ideal counterparts (dmuta).[1] It is similar to Plato's concept of the hyperuranion (realm of Forms),[2][3] which can be roughly described as a place in heaven where all ideas of real things are collected together.[4]
Mshunia Kushta is considered to be the shkina (dwelling) of Anush Uthra according to Book 2 of the Right Ginza.[5]
