The Distinction Between Kama and Prema

from Vedic Worldview Hosted by Thom Knoles

Sanskrit is a beautiful language that captures subtle distinctions that English and other modern languages often cannot. Take the word “love,” for example. In English, this word spans a wide net of emotions and feelings. For example, love can describe feelings a parent has for their child, as well as the fondness someone might feel for a football team or a favorite brand of chocolate. In this week’s podcast episode, Thom explores the distinction between two Sanskrit words often translated as "love"—kama and prema—and reveals their unique and separate meanings.
