Listen "Purusarthas – 4 Desires – 3. Kama"
Episode Synopsis
Purusarthas – 4 Desires – KamaKama, the third Purusartha, pertains to desires, passions, and the pursuit of pleasure—both physical and emotional. In yoga, Kama is experienced mindfully and ethically through relationships, creativity, and sensory enjoyment. Meaningful connections with others, artistic expression, and appreciating nature cultivate joy and satisfaction. Sensory pleasures—such as savoring food, feeling sunlight, or listening to the ocean—can deepen our connection to life.However, yogis recognize the impermanence of pleasure and practice non-attachment to avoid the suffering caused by excessive desire (Raga Klesha). Through self-awareness, emotional resilience, and conscious choices, they embrace joy without clinging to it. Kama is balanced within a fulfilling lifestyle, integrating spiritual growth and gratitude.By approaching desires with moderation and ethical conduct, yogis experience Kama while staying grounded in their spiritual path. Enjoy this Kama Yoga practice and guided savasana, awakening sensory delight and celebrating life’s pleasures in harmony.To and to practice with Zephyr Wildman, click here.
