Videha mukti (Sanskrit: विदेहमुक्ति), "liberation after death," or literally 'liberation through release from the body', is a concept found in Hinduism and Jainism, referring to final release or liberation (moksha) after death. The concept contrasts with Jivanmukti, "liberation while alive."[1] The concepts of Jivanmukta and Videhamukta are particularly discussed in Vedanta and Yoga schools of Hindu philosophy.[2][3]
