Kama (Purusharthas)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kama (Devanagari: काम) involves sensual gratification, sexual fulfillment, pleasure of the senses, love, and the athstetic enjoyments of life regarded as one of the four ends of man (purusharthas). Kama is the lowest step on the ladder of aims in Hindu life, below worldly status (artha), because even animals seek physical pleasures. The other two purusharthas are dharma and moksha.
