Kama (Desire)
Kama is a concept from ancient Indian philosophy that refers to desire, love, and pleasure. It is one of the four goals of life in Hinduism, alongside Dharma (duty), Artha (prosperity), and Moksha (liberation). Kama encompasses not only physical desires but also emotional and aesthetic pleasures, emphasizing the importance of enjoying life while maintaining balance.
In the context of the Kama Sutra, an ancient text, Kama is explored in relation to relationships, intimacy, and the art of love. The text provides guidance on how to cultivate desire and fulfill emotional and physical needs, highlighting the significance of connection and harmony in human experiences.
