Mshunia Kushta Explained

In Mandaean cosmology, Mshunia Kushta (ࡌࡔࡅࡍࡉࡀ ࡊࡅࡔࡈࡀ|translit=Mšunia Kušṭa|lit=realm of [[kushta|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.[5]
