Vatsyayana

El Kamasutra ("El libro del amor") es el más antiguo de los tratados eróticos. Consta de 1250 versos, divididos en siete partes y 36 capítulos, escrito alternativamente en prosa y verso. Tuvo gran difusión y fue muy apreciado por su complejidad y por ser muy completo en su temática, así como por su valor desde el punto de vista sociológico y médico. El autor eleva al placer a la categoría de valor ético y elabora un libro técnico, al mismo tiempo de amena lectura, y en donde en forma rigurosa se describen las artes amatorias y las formas de cortejar, de tener un aspecto agradable, de elaborar bebidas estimulantes y afrodisíacos, de mantener el cariño del amante, de las varias maneras de gozar en el acto del amor con las muchachas, con las mujeres casadas, con las mujeres unidas a otro, con las cortesanas, etc.

"El Kamasutra no solo es el libro más conocido sobre el amor físico, también nos enseña en el arte de cortejar a una mujer o cómo seducir a un hombre. Sin embargo, las referencias a afrodisíacos y la descripcion de diversas posturas amatorias, han sido el sello de identidad de esta obra intemporal.En el intento de lograr una mejor compenetracion espiritual y fisica entre hombre y mujer, su autor, Vatsyayana, expone las condiciones especiales y las posturas mas adecuadas que permiten lograr el extasis en una relacion de pareja.Nombradas todas en lengua hindu, estas posiciones van encaminadas a un mayor disfrute del acto sexual, a la par que buscan romper rutinas y favorecer el goce de cada encuentro como unico y diferente. Estas posiciones describen a la mujer en diferentes angulos respecto al hombre, con variantes de acuerdo al gusto personal de cada cual y la creatividad de la pareja, y siempre con el objetivo de recrear el periodo llamado climax, mas que el propio orgasmo."

The Kama Sutra of Vatsyayana Vatsyayana - The Kama Sutra of Vatsyayana by Richard Francis Burton is an edition of the ancient Indian text on sexuality and emotional needs. Vatsayana was an ancient Indian philosopher who lived during the second or third century. Although it is often thought of as a sex manual, it is much more, with guides on living well, the nature of love, and finding a partner. Indeed, Vatsyayana says himself: This work is not to be used merely as an instrument for satisfying our desires. Burton did not in fact translate the Kama Sutra - it was translated by the Indian scholar Bhagwan Lal Indraji. It was edited by Burton to suit prevailing British attitudes to sex, but was still banned in England and the United States until 1962. Other criticisms levelled at Burtons translation is that instead of using English words for the sex organs, he uses the words lingam and yoni, despite those words not appearing in the original work. This was seen as an attempt to distance them and make them other, rather than about English peoples sexual organs. He also removes the agency of women, and where in the original, womens words are direct quotes, in the Burton translation, womens words are removed and put into the passive state (i.e., A woman saying Stop! becomes She continually utters words expressive of prohibition). Despite all this, it has been such an influential translation that even modern editions in the Hindi language are re-translations of the Burton version.The Kama Sutra is an ancient Indian Hindu text widely considered to be the standard work on human sexual behavior in Sanskrit literature written by Vaatsyayana.

"Man should study the Kama Sutra and the arts and sciences subordinate thereto, in addition to the study of the arts and sciences contained in Dharma and Artha.

Vatsyayanas "The Kama Sutra" is a seminal text that delves into the philosophical and practical dimensions of love, desire, and sensuality in ancient Indian culture. Written in elegant Sanskrit, this treatise is not merely a manual on sexual positions; rather, it offers a comprehensive discourse on the interplay of love, ethics, and relationships. Vatsyayana encapsulates a nuanced understanding of human emotion and social customs, situating pleasure within the larger context of duty and righteousness, thereby reflecting the richness of the cultural milieu in which it was composed during the Gupta period. Vatsyayana, a learned philosopher and scholar, was significantly influenced by the societal paradigms of his time, where notions of love and sexual conduct held substantial importance in daily life. His insights are drawn from a synthesis of earlier texts and observational wisdom, positioning him as a pioneering figure who elevated the conversation around sex to one of respect and philosophical inquiry. The Kama Sutra is thus not only a reflection of Vatsyayanas intellectual pursuits but also an exploration of human experience as shaped by spiritual and societal norms. This timeless work is essential for anyone seeking to explore the depth of human intimacy and ethics. "The Kama Sutra" transcends its reputation as a mere erotic guide, offering valuable lessons on the nature of love, partnership, and the art of living well.
