A
Theosophical definition of Devachan :
Devachan [Tibetan, bde-ba-can, pronounced de-wa-chen] A translation of the Sanskrit sukhavati, the "happy place" or god-land. It is the state between earth-lives into which the human entity, the human monad, enters and there rests in bliss and repose. When the second death after that of the physical body takes place - and there are many deaths, that is to say many changes of the vehicles of the ego - the higher part of the human entity withdraws into itself all that aspires towards it, and takes that "all" with it into the devachan; and the atman, with the buddhi and with the higher part of the manas, become thereupon the spiritual monad of man. Devachan as a state applies not to the highest or heavenly or divine monad, but only to the middle principles of man, to the personal ego or the personal soul in man, overshadowed by atma-buddhi. There are many degrees in devachan: the highest, the intermediate, and the lowest. Yet devachan is not a locality, it is a state, a state of the beings in that spiritual condition. Devachan is the fulfilling of all the unfulfilled spiritual hopes of the past incarnation, and an efflorescence of all the spiritual and intellectual yearnings of the past incarnation which in that past incarnation have not had an opportunity for fulfillment. It is a period of unspeakable bliss and peace for the human soul, until it has finished its rest time and stage of recuperation of its own energies. In the devachanic state, the reincarnating ego remains in the bosom of the monad (or of the monadic essence) in a state of the most perfect and utter bliss and peace, reviewing and constantly reviewing, and improving upon in its own blissful imagination, all the unfulfilled spiritual and intellectual possibilities of the life just closed that its naturally creative faculties automatically suggest to the devachanic entity. Man here is no longer a quaternary of substance-principles (for the second death has taken place), but is now reduced to the monad with the reincarnating ego sleeping in its bosom, and is therefore a spiritual triad.

The definition of Devachan
is extracted from "OCCULT GLOSSARY - A COMPENDIUM OF ORIENTAL AND
THEOSOPHICAL TERMS".
Publisher's Note
"Every branch of
study has its own special terminology, and the esoteric philosophies are no
exception. This compendium not only clarifies the significance of the terms
most frequently found in such literature, but offers a comprehensive outline of
the scope and principles underlying an age-old tradition respecting the
constitution of man and the universe in which he lives.
This
Second and Revised Edition is faithful to the original 1933 edition. Changes
include modernizing capitalization, spelling, and punctuation, and amending a
few foreign terms (with appreciation to Dr. Bruce C. Hall and Mr. David Reigle
for their respective contributions)."
