Purushartha Drshti (पुरुषार्थदृष्टिः)

Purushartha Drshti (Samskrit : पुरुषार्थदृष्टिः) refers to the perspectives of life based on the four Purusharthas namely, Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha. The modern perspectives of life, instead of focusing about integral growth, focus on escaping from the realities of life. These are the days of Dvivarga, people belonging to one of the extremes of Artha and Kama or Dharma and Moksha.

Purusharthas are the human values an essential distinct concept evolved only by Sanatana Dharmis.  The order is Dharma Artha Kama and Moksha. One can but clearly notice that Dharma at one end and Moksha at the other are like two wrappers of a book, boundaries within which are squeezed Artha and Kama.

Dharma on the ground level defines the limits in which a man leads his life, enjoying desires of Artha and Kama within these limits, and then evolves intellectually to get a release from narrowness, from ignorance leading to Moksha. Thus Vedas and shastras have set down ways for holistic living, a word which these days does not portray the implied meaning. All these purusharthas, the desires of men are ultimately satisfied, nothing is denied. These age old concepts of Purusharthas, the very foundations of Sanatana Dharmas, were long practiced and do not relate to theories propounded by Karl Marx or Sigmond Freud as acclaimed. Because both Dharma and Moksha are arthaika para and kamaika para. Today the world abounds with people who denied the other two namely Dharma and Moksha. This is exactly what we at Dharmawiki have recognized as the disease of the society and would like to take correctional steps by introducing the limits to thinking process and bring back Purushartha Drsthi.

Man has to be satisfied in physical bodily terms, so there is marriage, where a man requires a woman and a woman requires a man.  But Sanatana Dharma does not end here like modern practices. They laid dharmika principles for the man and woman to be householders and devote themselves evolution of Dharma. Then once satiated they move on to the higher plane, at the intellectual level something higher than all these things put together.

So, Kama and artha are required for your progress upto a certain stage. They are like steps in the ladder, unless Dharma is the goal, artha and kama will work out havoc. Dharma is the goal these three are called three varga. These are the common minimum program in our life. artha, Kama and Dharma, in the order together three constitutes for the progress of the world. In the fourth leg there is Moksha which is an individual path, government cannot meddle with it.

So this scale of values is very unique about the Sanatana Dharma. Buddhism and Jainism abandoned Artha and Kama, they have abandoned the warriors duty to protect the country and how will you where will you place soldiers. does the soldiers come in artha and kama? He comes in artha. Artha comes in rashtra as Kautilya  says that a land peopled, a land, peopled by healthy people of various vocation that is called vritti,  bhumi, That is called rashtra, the duty of the king is to protect it of this is what was neglected by the Buddhist and jains. Because kshatriyas themselves became sannyasis. Buddha was there came from kshatriyas family. Mahavira came from kosal of ishwaku family.  They neglected and therefore they became easy prey to Islam in Christians in the sanatan Dharma scheme the whole class of people was cultivated for the protection of the country as Arvindo says, in his great book foundation of Indian culture. These special classes of people were cultivated for the particular vocations or groupings, like brahmins for spirituality, kshatriyas for the protection of the land and the rest of the people for commercial and other transactions. Therefore, it is this strata that is being attacked today. It is this strata that is being ridiculed today because Americans and European don’t understand this and whoever understands it, feels  it  the danger for them They want to blast it and therefore it's our duty to protect it and see that we come up in the same scale then this.
