Even, so then kama is difficult to vanquish or eliminate completely, for an average person, for kama (desires) is.
2 dharma, artha, kama and moksa are the four purusarthas, the four aims of life
The first of them, dharma, is a lifelong objective The pursuit of artha (material welfare) and kama (desire, love) must be given up at a certain stage in a man's life But so long as such a pursuit lasts, it must be based on dharma.

What is the story behind it? The picture in the link above shows it as dark green (this one does, too), while. Obviously the kama sutras (at least 5,000 ago) and the khajuharo temples illustrates gay roles, but it should also be noted that there are examples throughout the itihas, puran (mahabharat, srimat bhagavatam, etc.) and countless examples of god's, gandharvins, and enlightened heroes who exhibit dual genders and gay/lesbian activities. Jiva goswami says that the statement that kama who is burnt by shiva took birth as pradyumna is only partially acceptable and is a limited proposal.
0 no, artha and kama are not equally important as dharma
