In Hinduism

Vaishnavism (Vaishava dharma)

Sauhārda (सौहार्द) refers to “serving with love and affection” and represents one the three types of desire (i.e., Abhilāṣa or Ruci)—If prema is compared to the sun, bhāva can be compared to a ray of the sun. The constitutional nature of bhāva is that it is a ray of the sun of prema, and its unique characteristic is that it purifies the heart of the jīva and thus causes the heart to become softened or melted. The word ruci signifies three desires. These are, e.g., (3) the desire to serve Kṛṣṇa with love and affection (sauhārda-abhilāṣa).
