Bhāvanāsamvāsah What does it mean abt Dev Lok strictest answer possible So is it like we meet other people in heaven or share the same place with them
In Jainism, “Bhāvanāsamvāsah” is not a standard common phrase I can confidently explain as a fixed technical term. If you mean Bhavanavāsī devas or Dev lok, then the strict Jain understanding is:
- Devas are not humans.
- They are souls born in heavenly/ celestial states because of their karma.
- They do not live in one single “heaven” together with all beings.
- They exist in specific realms, classes, and abodes according to their type and karma.
So, to answer your question strictly:
Yes, devas can be with other devas in the same celestial abode or region, but not like humans sharing one mixed place casually. It is a structured heavenly existence, not a free-for-all common city.
Also:
- Humans do not normally meet devas physically in the same way we meet other humans.
- In Jain cosmology, each being is in its own gati / realm / body-type, according to karma.
If you want the strictest one-line answer: In Jainism, Devlok is a karmic celestial realm where devas live with beings of their own class and abode, not a human-like place where everyone shares one common world.
