    Hare Krsna Prabhuji,

    It is mentioned in the scriptures that the soul is situated in the region of the heart. There is no mention taht I know of about where the subtle body is situated. Colloqually, we know mind is in the heart, intelligence is in the brains and ego.... all pervading. It is also mentioned in the scriptures that when the soul leaves the gross body, it is carried to the next body by the subtle body, the way air carries any fragrance.

    Haribol,

    Your servant,

    Rashmi

    Hare Krsna Prabhuji,

    PAMHO.

    The difference between the subtle body and the soul is the difference between the cage and the bird in the cage. Only this cage is subtle, not made of gross elements.

    We get subtle body at the time of entering the material world, along with the gross body. The difference is the gross body keeps on changing, but the same subtle body goes with the soul to all the gross bodies. Its like the hard disk chip in which all the information is stored. God's design is such that the same subtle body can fit into any life form gross body, unlike our computer chips. This subtle body stores all the information of our past karmas and determines our nature, even in animal bodies, what to speak of human bodies. That explains how people can talk of many many lifetimes when they are hypnotised and regressed. They are accessing that information from the mind.

    Haribol,

    Your servant,

    Rashmi

      Hare Krishna Mataji,

      So you mean to say, subtle body is in between the gross body and the soul. And the soul is contained within the subtle body?

    apparently yu have all these bodies simultaneously, perhaps through meditation u can wake in a more subtle body if that is what u seek; or a body within a body like the astral body. or a world within a world. 

    you always had a subtle body, buddhist meditationers explain that when u die, shortly after the fiscal and ego mind dissolve and you return to a higher type of mind... and yet thats not the soul. 

    do pranayama; spinal breathing, i think ud be able to find out more by experience than by talking to people who have read others meditational accounts (like myself)
