Enemies of the mind

These are the fundamental tenets of Kali Yuga . The more each individual fights them, the longer will be the life of Dharma in this yuga.

1. Lust or desire for sensual pleasure – काम – Kama
2. Anger – क्रोध – Krodha
3. Greed – लोभ – Lobha
4. Attachment – मोह – Moha
5. Ego – मद – Mada
6. Envy or Jealousy – मत्सर्य – Matsarya
