Lord Buddha, in his profound wisdom, said that for the extinction of human suffering, complete annihilation of desire is the only way. This is the sacred truth of suffering.
Acarya Carvaka, equally profound in his thinking, said that life is a continuous celebration of desire. Kama (desire) and artha (wealth) are the only true goals of life. Beg, steal, or borrow, but live life like a king. Enjoy life as long as one is alive.
Who is correct? Lord Buddha or Acarya Carvaka? What does desire mean to Indian society, religion, and culture through the ages?
The book tries to address these and similar questions objectively and diligently.
