Reading the KAMASUTRA

Oops...! I guess reading the Kamasutra should not be professed in public. But having done it I feel nice that I have ....! Unless one is too stuck up , one cant but marvel at the myth that KAMASUTRA is a book full of nude bodies engaged in tantrix pornography.

Far from it.

Kamasutra is a book that has only the second chapter dedicated to sexual congress(he he ..congress!!! Sonia must be goin crazy) . The rest are dedicated on finding out what is ones DHARMA in this life and what are the codes of living. The book is divided into following parts

Part I: Introductory

Part II: On Sexual Union

Part III: About the Acquisition of a Wife

Part IV: About a Wife

Part V: About the Wives of Other People

Part VI: About Courtesans

Part VII: On The Means of Attracting Others to One's Self

And it does not contain the "famous illustrations" they were made later in 2nd century AD. Try going through this link:-

and read it without stealing glances over your shoulder . Its a great book and if you feel ashamed reading it ..I guess you need to grow up.
