The 4 purusharths of a Man

The 4 purushaarth of any man is this world  are Dharma, Arth, Kama and Moksha.
In the word Purushaarth, the word Purush means male and arth means 'desires'. Hence, Dharma arth kama and Moksha are the 4 things a male desires.
This purusharth is not desired to by a sanyasi, a vanvaasi, a woman, a yogi, a tapasvi.
It is  nowhere mentioned that getting purusharth is forbidden for woman. But a woman gets the same from his husband.
In Sanatana dharma, It is said that the sins done by a woman are borne by his husband, the sins done by the husband are borne by the guru and the sins done by a raja are borne by the praja.
That is why in sanatana dharma it is said that a woman should only be married with after much introspection.


The 4 purusharth are interdependent on each other. Without doing your dharma, it is not possible to get arth i.e. prosperity. Here, dharma means not just spritual dharma but doing your work is also called as following your dharma.
It is the dharma of the head male of a house to work for earning a livelihood.
It is the dharma of a son to help his father in his business or it is his dharma to help his family in every way possible.
It is the dharma of a woman to support his husband and his family, feed them good food and support them during difficult times.
When a person follows his dharma, he earns wealth and prosperity.
Only after earning arth can a person go for kama and then finally when all other purusharth are fulfilled, a person must go for moksha.

Sanatana Dharma says, the without following one's dharma, it is not possible to get arth and if arth only is not there then it is impossible to fulfill kama.
The person who runs for kama by sacrificing on dharma and arth facing unhappiness and failure in all 3.
It is only by maintaining an appropriate and smart balance between the 3 purushaarth can a person earn peace, happiness and prosperity in life and get dharma, arth and Kama.


Many times we see people saying that only go for gyaan or moksha, going for wealth and Kama is waste of this essential human life.

Such kind of statements are only said by people who themselves may not be having the ability to ability to become rich.
In today's world, we see 2 extremes, on 1 side are people who say gyaan is everything and wealth doesn't have much importance and on other side there are people who give more importance to wealth than knowledge and hardly ever give importance to gaining knowledge.
Such kind of people end up failing in both of them.
The gyaani thinks that he is more smart and intelligent than the wealthy person because wealth is meaningless for him. Such people may even make you leave your house and make you sleep on sand in the name of gyaan.

On the other hand, there are people who only focus on wealth. The only thing they want is wealth and more wealth. Such people are never satisfied even if Lord Rudra or Maa Lakshmi makes them as rich as Kuber. They may not be having even an ounce of knowledge and may be expecting to get rich by just chanting mantras.
Keep in mind, that a labourer cannot become like kuber by just chanting mantra.
Because in order to become like kuber in wealth, one needs to have the intelligence on how he will gain that much wealth and how hard he is ready to work for it.
This act of working hard in order to earn arth and become as rich as kuber is called as dharma.

Unfortunately,  if you are a labourer or a watchman of a building and you are expecting to become rich as kuber as a watchman/labourer then that you will forever remain a pauper and keep on blaming gods or your destiny even though it is you who lacks the intelligence.

No body in this world gets results of his punya unless he works. If I want to start a business and for that if I just keep on doing mantra sadhanas to get rich and not do any kind of hard work for building a business then i am not going to become rich even in 100 births.
Keep in mind that mantras only support you in getting success in whatever you do.
If you think that you'll just sit in room all day, chant Lakshmi mantras all day and expect that you will get rich without leaving your room then you can't get your dreams fulfilled.
After that, all you will do is complain to maa lakshmi that she is not listening to you or she doesn't care about you or you may even insult him.
A watchman or a labourer cannot become as rich as kuber because the dharma that he is doing to getting wealth is not meant to have that scope.

If I am a bread seller, I can at most get 15-20 rupees  or maybe even 50 rupees for 1 packet of bread.
 But, If I think that by chanting mantras of Maa lakshmi, I will get 10 lac rupees for 1 packet of bread that who is it to be called as foolish?

Hence, the wise person is the one who understands that without intelligence getting wealth is not possible; without wealth nothing is possible and that one doesn't need to sleep on sand for the sake of knowledge.

It is only by balance of both that one can achieve success in life.

The last purushaarth and the most important purushaarth is Moksha.
Many people have various opinions about Moksha.
One thing  I can assure that the person who is a bhakt of  Hanuman, the person who is a bhakt of Lord Shri Rama definitely achieves moksha.
The person who is a bhakt of Lord Rudra never goes to Narak after death. There is not even a single ounce of doubt in this.
The person who worships Lord Shiva/ Rudra gets freedom from his sins at each and every step his takes on this life.
By just making a tripundra using bhasma, a person instantly gets rid of great sins in many many births.
By doing just the darshan of a copper shivling, a person gets rid of all his problems.
It is unimaginable about the kind of things one would achieve by doing darshan of silver, gold, naramdeshwar, jyotirling shivlingas.
What would be achieved by worshipping and doing darshan of 100 crore gold shivlingas and 10,000 crore narmadeshwar shivlings a crore times daily for 1 crore kalpas is achieved by is achieved by just remembering the parad shivling established in one's house.

The person who establishes parad shivling in his house, such a person and the 100,000 ancestors and the 100,000 progeny after progeny will live in shivloka or rudra loka without any doubt.

And what is achieved by worshipping Lord Shiva, Lord ShriRama and Sita, Lord Surya and Lord Ganesha is achieved by worshipping Lord Hanuman.
This is a fact said by Lord Shiv himself in parashar Tantra.

Moskha is of various types.
There are some people especially gaudiya vaishanvas who say that kundalini jagran, mantra japa,etc. is meaningless. The only way to get moksha is to chant Lord Krishna's name or Lord Rama's name.
The even go ahead to change the 'hare rama hare krishna mantra' to ' hare krishna hare rama mantra' because they say that vaishanavas say hare krishna first and then Hare Rama.
They even say that Krishna is greater than Shri Rama and that Krishna Avatar was the full incarnation.
In anand ramayan, Lord Shri Rama himself told Agastya, that it is only this avatar that is the greatest among all other avatars.
Keep in mind that there is no difference between Shri Rama and krishna but when it comes to peace and happiness, it was only Rama avatar that was the greatest.

Lord Brahma,Rudra and Rudrani reside within the heart chakra. Other than this, various other gods reside within various chakras.
Hence, even by doing Kundalini jagran alone, one can get everything he wants.
By doing kundalini upasana a person gets rid of all kinds of sins and gets all kinds of wealth and siddhis.
There is no doubt in it.

The path that you want to choose is up to you.  Whether you want to be a shaiva or a vaishnav or a shaakt, Shri or a gayatri upasak; it is upto you.

Lord Krishna had said to yudhishthir once -

रामनाम्नः परम नास्ति मोक्षलक्ष्मीप्रदायकं |

Meaning- There is no remedy greater than Rama naam for getting moksha and wealth.

Lord Krishna also says that the person who writes Rama Naam gets 100 times the benefits earned by doing japa. In other words, what can be achieved by chanting Rama naam 1 crore times can be achieved by writing Rama naam just 1 lac times.
Out of all Rama mantras, the Shri Rama Jay Rama is supreme mantra.
This is said by Lord Krishna himself.
The person who chants 1 mala or 10 malas of this mantra daily gets rid of crores of Brahma Hatyas.
 I will also share the purashcharan paddhati of the Shri Rama Jay Rama Mantra very soon.


Jay Shri Rama

  2. A beard seller a watchman and a sweeper cannot get rich by their respective jobs but if they are destined to be rich or if they will chant mantra they will get that way to get rich
    You cannot do it on its own because if it is so then he would have not chosen this buisness only
    God helps us in getting that high scope buisness if we chant mantras irrespective of the condition and varna or whatever we are wheather a sweeper or watchman.

  3. Also there are some works which cannot be achieved by hard work
    If u want to achieve superhuman strenght how hard u exercise how hard u try u cannot get that until u do some special mantras

    Also isint chanting mantras or doing tapasya also a karm for which we will get result
    Jayadrath in mahabharata was not a great warrior but due to the boon he got from lord shiva he was unbeatale by any warrior except the people having pashupastra

    If it is also not then
    Can a low worker or a poor cannot become rich whatever he do how much he prays or do anything will he remain poor only
    Pls reply on this
    Thanks

    1. Yes. Mantras support is correct.
      But if we do not do the karma along with doing the japa then it is not possible to become so rich.
      If I am running a business and all I do is japa and do not put in any hard work in the business then how will get the fruits of the japa?

      What you are saying is true but just jaap is not enough.
      If I want superhuman strength, I will take help of mantras but that doesn't mean that I must stop exercising.
      If someone wants superhuman strength and he chants a mantra for it, that mantra in turn increases the amount of strength one would gain from one exercise or yoga aasan.



      Unless and until one doesn't do karma in life, no matter how much punya you have, you won't get results of the punya.
      This rule applies to every living being in this world.

      In war against Ravan, ShriRama was losing.
      Hence, he took the support of Aditya hridaya Stotra.
      But still it was only he who had to kill Ravan.
      The recitation of the Hridaya increased his power more than Ravan's.
      However, the karma of launching the arrow from the bow was only of Shri Rama's.
      Ravan didn't die due to recitation of Aditya Hridaya Stotra alone.
      But he died to the arrow of Shri rama which had the divine power and energy of Lord Aditya.

    2. Dear ashok ji karm pradhan is well known by everyone but there are limitations of human body for which we cannot achieve anything we want only by karma lets take strength ex only if u want to get strong
      As u may be knowing people take asteroids eat a lot non veg of different kinds and many more things they intake which they think will make them strong
      But i have seen some bhakts exceptionally strong than those bodybuilders who have not eaten non veg and anything they were even having food also one time
      If u take richness ex
      I know efforts have to be made but u need a platform which u can only get by punya and bhakti
      If u didnt get a suitable buisness then u cannot earn huge money and if god gives u boon of richness u will get that buisness somehow and many educated persons didnt know which buisness to do and 5th pass know more then them thats what i am saying
      U are exactly right without karna u cannot even earn punya
      Thanks

  4. namaste ashok sir in one of your post u have said that purushcharan of hare rama hare krishna mantra is 3.5 crore chants and also you told that it is said in manu smriti for the person who is able to do mental japa only 3.5 lakshs is enough,
    could you please tell the significance of it sir,how mental chanting requires so less chants and does this rule applies to all mantra sadhans,for example purushcharan of ||om hanumate namaha|| requires 6 lakh chants if a person is able to chant mentally does amount of chant requires will reduce sir?please clear my doubt sir,it is troubling me from many days

    1. This rule doesn't apply to all mantras. It only applies to hare rama hare Krishna mantra.

  5. Namaste sir,in laat sentence you told that writing Rama Naam gives 100 times more benefits than chanting and Chanting 1 crore Rama nama is equivalent to writing 1 lakh Rama nama,then in Shri Ram Jay Ram purushcharan Sadhana you mentioned one will get rid of all the sins he has accumulated in his previous births by chanting Shri Ram Jay Ram mantra 1000 malas and get moksha by Chanting 10000 malas,if lekhani japa gives 1 lakh times more benefits then if we just write 10 malas of Shri Rama Jaya Rama mantra would we get freedom from all sins and if we write 100 malas of Shri Ram Jay Ram mantra would we get moksha?
    Please and please clear my doubt sir.

    1. No. Every Mantra has a procedure along with it. Whether you write or chant the purushcharan will still be 1 lac/10 lac/1 crore. But what makes the difference is the results. By writing you will get 100 times more results than chanting.
