Devachan (compound word, Sanskrit 'god', god, and Tibetan word 'chan' Wylie: 'can', possess, possess, subject to) are "dwellings of the gods" according to Teosofi's original teachings as formulated by HP Blavatsky.

Theosofi
Devachan is considered a place where most souls go after death where desires are satisfied, according to the Christian belief in Heaven. However, Devachan is a temporary temporary state before the rebirth of the soul into the physical world.
According to C.W. Leadbeater
C.W Leadbeater puts "Devachan" on mental aircraft miles and miles deep above the Earth's surface. While souls at the zeroth initiation level (most of Earth's inhabitants) go to Summerland (located on astral planes just a few miles above the Earth's surface) when they die, those who have reached the first, second, or third initiation level go to Devachan when they die. The last heaven in which the souls at the level of the fourth initiation (souls who have become arhat and no longer need to reincarnate) is called Nirvana. When it reaches the fourth level of initiation, one can become pratyekabuddha and directly enter Nirvana, or become a buddha or bodhisattva and teach others before entering. One can also choose to become a Master in the Spiritual Hierarchy after reaching the fourth level of initiation - then someone entering Nirvana is postponed for millions, billions, or trillions of years until someone has completed up the initiation ladder by completing one's duties as a Master in the Spiritual Hierarchy.

Anthroposophy
From an anthroposophic perspective, Rudolf Steiner asserts that Lower Devachan (or Heavenly World) and High Devachan (or World of Reason) are two supersensible realms, above the astral realm, which are associated with emotion and encouragement, respectively. In comparison, the mental realm is associated with the mind.
