Devachan is the "dwelling of the gods" according to the Theosophy of H.P. Blavatsky. It is regarded as the place where most souls go after death where desires are gratified, corresponding to the Christian belief in Heaven. However, Devachan is a temporary, intermediate state of being, before the soul's eventual rebirth into the physical world.H.P. Blavatsky, The Theosophical Glossary. Theosophical Publishing Society, 1892, page 98 Through Wisdom and Knowledge, one can reach Nirvana and be free from the cycle of birth and death, and even the "false bliss" of Devachan.H.P. Blavatsky, The Secret Doctrine. Theosophical Publishing Society, 1888, page 39
