OURANOS [aka URANUS]

[noun]

Greek mythology: the primal Greek god personifying the sky. His equivalent in Roman mythology was Caelus. In Ancient Greek literature, Ouranos or Father Sky was the son and husband of Gaia, Mother Earth. According to Hesiod’s Theogony, Ouranos was conceived by Gaia alone, however other sources cite Aether as his father.  An alternative belief is that he is primordial and born from Chaos, the primal force of the universe, thus has no parentage.

Ouranos and Gaia were the parents of the first generation of Titans, and the ancestors of most of the Greek gods, but no cult addressed directly to Ouranos survived into Classical times and he does not appear among the usual themes of Greek painted pottery.

KĀMA

[noun]

often translated from Sanskrit as sexual desire, sexual pleasure, sensual gratification, sexual fulfillment, or eros, but can more broadly mean desire, wish, passion, longing, pleasure of the senses, the aesthetic enjoyment of life, affection, or love, without sexual connotations.

In Hinduism, kāma is regarded as the third of the four goals of life (purusharthas, the others being duty (dharma), worldly status (artha) and salvation (moksha). Kama-deva is the personification of this. Kama-rupa is a subtle body or aura composed of desire, while Kama-loka is the realm this inhabits, particularly in the afterlife. In the context of the four goals of life, kāma refers to mental and intellectual fulfillment in accordance to dharma.

In Buddhism’s Pali Canon, the Buddha renounced sensuality (kāma) in route to his Awakening. The Buddhist lay practitioner recites daily the Five Precepts, which is a commitment to abstain from “sexual misconduct” (kāmesu micchācāra). Typical of Pali Canon discourses, the Dhammika Sutta includes a more explicit correlate to this precept when the Buddha enjoins a follower to “observe celibacy or at least do not have sex with another’s wife “.

In the Theosophy of Blavatsky, Kama is the fourth principle of the septenary, associated with emotions and desires, attachment to existence, volition, and lust.
