KAMASUTRA
Everyone knows the
Kamasutra
is ancient India's racy sex manual. The title conjures titillating visions of
erotic frescos in which regal maharajas with outsized genitals cavort with naked
bejeweled nymphs in positions exotic enough to slip the discs of a yoga master.
Kama Sutra literally means "treatise on sexual pleasure." Unlike the Christian
view that the sole purpose of sex is procreation, in the fourth century Hindu
world that gave birth to the Kama Sutra, the cultivation of sexual pleasure,
independent of procreation, was considered one of life's highest callings. The
ancient Hindus believed that life had three purposes: religious piety (dharma),
material success (artha), and sexual pleasure (kama). All three were equal, and
the erotic was celebrated as the seat of earthly beauty. In the Hindu world the
pursuit of sexual pleasure was revered as a sort of religious quest..
Kamasutram, generally known to the Western world as
Kama Sutra,
is an ancient Indian text on human sexual behavior, widely considered to be the
standard work on love in Sanskrit literature. The text was composed by
Vatsyayana, as a brief summary of various earlier works belonging to a tradition
known generically as Kama Shastra. Kama is literally desire. Sutra signifies a
thread, or discourse threaded on a series of aphorisms. Sutra was a standard
term for a technical text, thus also the Yogasutram of Patanjali. The text is
originally known as Vatsyayana Kamasutram ("Vatsyayana's Aphorisms on Love").
Tradition holds that the author was a celibate scholar living in Paliputra, an
important center of learning in modern day Bihar. Most scholarly estimates place
him in the 4th century. If this date is correct, Vatsayana lived during the
heart of the Gupta period, an era known for its massive contributions to
classical Sanskrit literature and Vedic culture.
