  SRIMATE RAMANUJAYA NAMAHA,
Purusharta means goals to be attained by us.Moksha purusharta is the highest 
purusharta, one can aim for.In moksha too we have kaivalya moksha,Vaikunta 
moksha.In kaivalya purusharta ,one enjoys the bliss of one's atma .In Vaikunta 
purusharta,the mukta is in the company of SRIMAN NARAYANA performing seva to 
him.The life in Vaikunta too is eternal.
Great saints like shukadeva crave for the experience of the lord inspite of 
enjoying the atma experience.This shows that Kainkarya purusharta is more 
fulfilling than the kaivalya.Hence it is parama or superior  purusharta.
