AKDM - The Four Aims of Human Life

AKDM stands for the Artha (wealth), Kama (Passion), Dharma (Purpose), Moksha (Freedom) - the four aims of human life identified by the ancient mystics, which is still relevant today.

All human beings want to lead happy and meaningful lives, but how do we do this? Our modern lives are substantially more complex than those of our ancestors. We may be wealthier, healthier and live longer, but despite modern technology, we are time poor and work longer hours.

What is happiness? How do we balance our material, emotional and spiritual needs in our life? How do we decide what's important? Where should we direct our efforts? 

These are questions that people have wrestled with since the dawn of civilisation. This workshop will explore the Purusharthas - the original work-life balance model the ancient mystics laid out for human beings to lead a successful life.
