Kama Muta (Sanskrit: काममूत 'moved by love') is an emotion described as 'being moved', 'heart-warming', 'stirring', or 'being emotionally touched'.[1][2][3][4] It is a primarily positive emotion which is experienced as a feeling of buoyancy, security and warmth in the chest, and may be accompanied with goosebumps or tears.[2] Kama Muta is felt when one observes or engages in events which cause a deepened sense of equivalence or oneness with others,[5] and motivates devotion to those relationships.[4] Kama Muta is considered to have the evolutionary function of facilitating the devotion, commitment and connection necessary for human social union.[4]
