It’s strange that an Indian mind called Vatsyayana was birthed somewherebetween the 2nd and 5th century AD, and we have censor board in 2001.
Backed by a billion excuses, Indians claim they don’t practice sex, but itwas essentially elevated as a documented art form here, on this sacred soil.With a voyeuristic Moon, Gods who were prone to come down to ravishimpressionable princesses in the middle of their night baths, and a traditionaltropical climate that robbed its pretty women from covering theirpoetically-gifted bosom, this was a land where Mallanaga Vatsyayana was waitingto happen.
But like all fountainheads of great Indian wisdom, the poet of Kama Sutra wasnever the involved party. Peeping through vantage points into homes, sageVatsyayana discovered and invented many positions of love, some of themplausibly intended only for the Romanian gymnastic team.
Vatsyayana’s logic: ‘No pain, no gain’. And all through this mostvoluntary academic interest, it is believed that he never had impure thoughts.Curiously, he even suggested means to woo ‘the other man’s wife’. Withplaying a musical instrument being one of the means, it’s evident thatVatsyayana’s message still resounds through more modern consumer goodscompanies that say ‘Let’s do things better’.
