What are the Purusharthas?
Purusharthas is a well known concept which holds that every human being has four proper goals that are necessary and sufficient for a fulfilling and happy life
[ Purusha = man(or person) and Artha=meaning(or aim/ambition)].
Â
Kaama is pleasure, desire, passion, love, wish, emotions, affection
Artha is wealth, means of life, prosperity, activities and resources who enable one to be in a state one wants to be in.
Dharma is duty, service, moral values, righteousness, right way of living, laws.
Moksha is liberation, spiritual values.
Â
Pleasure, desires and passion are very important because this is the part of us that makes us reproduce. They are also good because that is how growth happens, for example you remember from childhood, when you wanted to be able to do something, you will give this something your 100% attention, and work towards it with all you have.Â

- Find Bliss in Kaama: Nurturing Your Body and Soul
Kaama is the pursuit of pleasures. Our body and mind has many needs, therefore, all activities that bring pleasure to the body are Kaama, from a simple act of applying oil to our hair to our intimate acts of love. Kaama binds us to our Dharma and our Artha more effectively.

According to the Vedas if we do not fulfil our Dharma, we will keep on rotating the circle of rebirth instead of reaching liberation. And liberation is our soul’s desire to reunite with the supreme energy.
Then we must remember that to complete our kama, arthas, dharma and moksha we need good health, and that Ayurveda can support us with. Yay for Ayurveda.
