The Four Puruṣārthas/Purpose of Life
<p>Puruṣārthas are necessary and sufficient for a fulfilling and happy life. Puruṣārtha is a composite sanskrit word. The term comprises two words — ‘puruṣa’ and ‘Artha’. The word ‘puruṣa’ means “human being”, “Soul” as well as “Universal principle and soul of the universe”. The word ‘Artha’ means not only wealth or value, but also purpose or objective. So, the word “Puruṣārtha” etymologically denotes to the aim or purpose in life. The puruṣārthas are elaborated upon extensively in the Mahābhārata, the epic Indian poem that contains The Bhagavadgīta, and are interwoven with yogic philosophy at the deepest levels. Each one of the puruṣārthas has many scriptures dedicated to it (the Kāma Sūtra, the Dharma Shāstras, and the Artha Shāstras, among others).</p>
