Râga

(Sk.)

One of the five Kleshas (afflictions) in Patânjali’s Yoga philosophy. In Sânkhya Kârikâ, it is the “obstruction” called love and desire in the physical or terrestrial sense. The five Kleshas are: Avidyâ, or ignorance; Asmitâ, selfishness, or “I‐am‐ness” ; Râga, love; Dwesha, hatred; and Abhinivesa, dread of suffering. (TG).
