 Sage
Vatsyayana's Kama Sutra is an ancient treatise on
man-woman relationships. Though written over 2,000
years ago, its relevance is perennial, since, of all
life's expressions, sexual gratification remains one
of the most fundamental. The Kama Sutra examines the
life force or prana of which the physical and the
spiritual are equally potent aspects. While exploring
the art of fulfilling sexual relationships, it
stresses equally on self-restraint and consideration
for the partner.
This
book takes a contemporary look at the Kama Sutra. Rare
miniatures, gouache and tantric paintings, and
sculptures on ivory panels form the renowned archives
Fitzwilliam Museum, University of Cambridge, UK, are
published for the first time; other works - suffused
with the erotic - are selected from Victoria &
Albert Museum, London, UK; Werner Forman Archive,
London, UK and the collection of Lance Dane.
The
Introduction by Dr. Alka Pande guides the reader
towards the appropriate mindset required to imbibe the
magic of the text.
