Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha are the fourfold goals of human existence. These are the essence of Hindu way of life. The great Hindu Seers and Sages of epic age namely Parashar, Varahmihir, Garga, Jaimini and many others clearly laid down the theory and details of these goals thinking, that the real purpose of human life lies in them. They are defined as below: 1. Dharma (Religion) means duty, righteousness and virtue. 2. Artha (Wealth) means success, prosperity and fame. 3. Kama (Desires) means fun, pleasures and sensual delight. 4. Moksha (Salvation) means liberation, spiritual performances and union with God. The first three out of these constitute the path of an active life called 'Pravrati' the nature and temperament. This Pravrati is to be gained in domestic life being a member of the society. He is to discharge his duties as a householder and a citizen. He is to acquire wealth, gratify his legitimate desires and at the same time practice virtue. The first stage of life, for which his whole career has been a preparation, is one of 'Nivrati' the complete surrender and union with God and hence the Moksha (Salvation). Thus, this formula Dharma, Artha, Kama, Moksha, that indicates the ideal of a complete life taking into account of all facts of human nature without doing violence either to the flesh or to the spirit, is the base of Vedic astrology
