Book Synopsis KAMA : The Story of the Kama Sutra by : Misra, Jaya
Download or read book KAMA : The Story of the Kama Sutra written by Misra, Jaya and published by Om Books International. This book was released on 2018-05-05 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Who was Vatsyayana? What motivated this intriguing personality in the third century to compile ancient erotic texts, replete with his witty aphorisms, into the Kama Sutra, the ultimate treatise on love and the art of lovemaking? Kama is a fictionalised account of the life and times of Vatsyayana. Seemingly, a manual for the hedonist about town, the Kama Sutra reveals another tale—written in blood—of broken hearts, lyrical violence, ageless love, and unbridled lust! Set in 273 AD, in a land fraught with war and unrest, Kama is the story of a catastrophic day in a writer-artist’s life that sets him off on a journey unto himself, beyond the boundaries of love, family and betrayal. This fast-paced story of tragedy and triumph beguiles and captivates as it flits seamlessly between an agonising past, an erotic present and a cataclysmic future."

Book Synopsis The Book of Love by : James McConnachie
Download or read book The Book of Love written by James McConnachie and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2009-05-26 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An “enticing . . . elegant and stylish” biography of the ancient Hindu manuscript that became the world’s most famous sex manual (The New York Review of Books) The Kamasutra is one of the world’s best-known yet least understood texts, its title instantly familiar but its contents widely misconstrued as a how-to guide of acrobatic sexual techniques. Yet the book began its life in third-century India as something quite different: a vision of a life of urbane sophistication, with advice on matters from friendship to household decoration. Celebrated, then neglected, the Kamasutra was very nearly lost—until an outrageous adventurer brought it to the West, earning literary immortality. In lively, lucid prose, James McConnachie provides a rare look at the exquisite civilization that produced this cultural cornerstone. He details the quest of explorer Richard Burton, who—with his coterie of libertines—unleashed the Kamasutra on Victorian society as a slap at its prudishness. And he describes the Kamasutra’s exile to the pornographic underground, until the end of the Lady Chatterley obscenity ban thrust it once more into contentious daylight. The first work to tell the full story of the Kamasutra, The Book of Love explores how a way of looking at the world came to be cradled between book covers—and survived.
Book Synopsis Love's Subtle Magic by : Aditya Behl
Download or read book Love's Subtle Magic written by Aditya Behl and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-07-01 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The encounter between Muslim and Hindu remains one of the defining issues of South Asian society today. It began as early as the 8th century, and the first Muslim kingdom in India, the Sultanate of Delhi, was established at the end of the 12th century. This power eventually reduced to vassalage almost every independent kingdom on the subcontinent. In Love's Subtle Magic, a remarkable and highly original book, Aditya Behl uses a little-understood genre of Sufi literature to paint an entirely new picture of the evolution of Indian culture during the earliest period of Muslim domination. These curious romantic tales transmit a profound religious message through the medium of adventurous stories of love. Although composed in the Muslim courts, they are written in a vernacular Indian language and involve Hindu yogis, Hindu princes and princesses, and Hindu gods. Until now, they have defied analysis. Behl shows that the Sufi authors of these charming tales sought to convey an Islamic vision via an Indian idiom. They thus constitute the earliest attempt at the indigenization of Islamic literature in an Indian setting. More important, however, Behl's analysis brilliantly illuminates the cosmopolitan and composite culture of the Sultanate India in which they were composed. This in turn compels us completely to rethink the standard of the opposition between Indian Hindu and foreign Muslim and recognize that the Indo-Islamic culture of this era was already significantly Indian in many important ways.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How to prove innocence? Raj was clueless for a couple of minutes, then he checked the Rajjang’s order, and something clicked for him. He took Anil and Maya, the prostitute, into another chamber and told them, “You have to say there was no pleasure in your activity. Per the order, you should not take someone to the army camp for pleasure.” Anil asked, “Who will believe us?” Raj replied, “This is just to make Batu believe in you. He has been following celibacy since birth, so he may. But, Anil, you made a grave mistake that may affect all of us.” Anil “Sorry, I will not repeat it.” Raj “You should not, and remember both of you were not having any pleasure.” Raj came out and asked Anil and Maya in front of everyone, “Are you having pleasure in your tent?” Anil replied, “No, I was just punishing her for not giving me the service which I have paid her for.” Maya “No pleasure. He was punishing me.” Raj “If they do not have any pleasure, they should not get any punishment as per the order.” Batu “It looks like they were enjoying it. I saw it, and they were making noises.” Rajjang “Batu, you have to prove it.” Batu replied, “How can I prove it?” Raj said, “It is simple. Whatever Anil did, you can do that to Maya. Maya, Can you please cooperate?” Batu replied, “I can’t do that. I never did that, and I am feeling shy.” Raj told Batu, “you have to do that to prove your point. If you feel pleasure, we will punish Anil. You can do that in a separate chamber, in the presence of Anil, me, and Rajjang. ” Anil, Batu, Raj, Maya, and Rajjang went to separate chambers. Maya took her clothes off and lay down. Batu joined her and tried to do whatever he could recall. Maya kept her calm and acted like she was in pain. Batu was feeling very awkward, relentless, and sweaty. Raj asked Maya, “Do you feel pleasure doing this?” Maya replied, “No, not at all,” Raj asked Batu, “What about you, Batu?” Batu replied, “Sorry, Raj and Rajjang. It was a horrible experience. I will withdraw my complaint. Please don’t take any action against me.”

Book Synopsis Classical Hindu Erotology by : Vātsyāyana
Download or read book Classical Hindu Erotology written by Vātsyāyana and published by Library of Alexandria. This book was released on with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In translating the Anunga Runga, it was discovered that the name of Vatsyayana was frequently mentioned. The Pandits wording on the translation stated that Vatsyayana was the most important of all writers on Hindu erotology, and they claimed that no library was complete without his worlds, though it is almost impossible to find any extant copies today. When eventually a manuscript of the Kama Sutra was found in Bombay, it was found to be so defective that the Sanskrit scholars had to write to Benares, Calcutta and Jaipur to try to get other copies of the work. Then these copies were compared along with a commentary called the Jayamangla, and a final revised version was prepared. This is the copy that was used for the English translation of 1885. In fact, a letter from one of the Pandits who worked on the translation states: ‘This manuscript has been corrected by me after comparing jour different copies of the work. I was helped by a commentary called Jayamangla to correct certain passages of the first five scripts, but the rest was very difficult to correct. With the exception of one copy, all the rest were full of faults. All the same, I considered as correct the passages on which all jour copies were in accord. The Kama Sutra of Vatsyayana contains 1250 verses divided into parts. These parts are divided into chapters, and the latter are again divided into paragraphs. Nothing is known about the author. His name was probably Mallinga or Mrillana, Vatsyayana being his family name. It is impossible to fix the dates of his life or when he wrote his great work. One concludes, however, that he lived some time between the first and sixth centuries A.D., because he states that Shatakarni Shatavahana, King of Kuntal, failed his wife, Malayavati, by striding her during the passion of intercourse with an instrument known as kartari. This king is supposed to have lived in the First Century A.D., so Vatsyayana must have lived later. On the other hand, Virahamihira, who lived in the 6th Century A.D., borrows a great deal from Vatsyayana in his treatise of love, Brihatsanhita. Therefore, it is assumed that Vatsyayana lived after the First Century A.D. and before the 6th Century.

Book Synopsis From Bharata to India by : M. K. Agarwal
Download or read book From Bharata to India written by M. K. Agarwal and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2012-05-22 with total page 582 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The origin of world civilization can be traced to the Sindhu and Sarasvati river valleys (located in present-day Pakistan) as early as 8,000 BC. Here, innovation and originality in every aspect of human endeavor, from mathematics and science to art and sports, flourished. Yet the importance of this civilization, known as the Vedic period, has been deliberately downplayed. Thoroughly researched and including an extensive bibliography, From Bharata to India rectifies this mistake in the perspective of world history and seeks to offer a comprehensive reference source. Author M. K. Agarwal shows how this early culture, where ideation by enlightened philosopher Brahmin kings, brought material and spiritual wealth that was to remain unchallenged until the colonial era. This Vedic-Hindu-Buddhist legacy subsequently influenced peoples and paradigms around the globe, ushering in an era of peace and plenty thousands of years before the Europeans. By using original sources in Sanskirt as well as regional literature, Agarwal compares corresponding situations in other civilizations within the context of their own literary traditions and records to prove that Bharata forms the basis of world civilization. This is in direct contrast to the Greek or Arab miracle hypothesis put forth by numerous scholars. The first of two volumes in this series, From Bharata to India offers a fascinating, in-depth glimpse into ancient Indias contribution to the modern world.

Book Synopsis The Vedic Core of Human History by : M. K. Agarwal
Download or read book The Vedic Core of Human History written by M. K. Agarwal and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2013-12 with total page 551 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The origin of world civilization can be traced to the Indus Valley cradle, where brilliant and original thinkers made groundbreaking discoveries. The history of these discoveries is recorded in the vast Sanskrit literature. In this study, author M. K. Agarwal explores the cultural and historical significance of the region. He explores Indus Valley culture, which encouraged creative thought as opposed to the Abrahamic faiths, which herded followers into dogmatic thinking. He holds that these religions prospered because of their unfettered hatred of the Vedic-Hindu-Buddhist peoples, who were demonized as pagans to be murdered, tortured, raped, enslaved, and robbed. He also considers the achievements of that culture, such as the creation of the most affluent, most scientifically advanced, and most spiritual of all societies, with archeological moorings that can be traced back to 8000 BC. No other region can even come close to transforming people and culture like the Indus Valley, but the world's Vedic roots have been ignored, shunned, and covered up. Uncover the history that has been lost and develop a deeper appreciation for the true cradle of human civilization with The Vedic Core of Human History.
