Description
'Yoga is the science of ultimate balance-between dharma (duty,
or right living), artha (economic well-being), kama (erotic
desire) and moksha (enlightenment or liberation)... Sexual
satisfaction is thus essential for a full and healthy experience of
life. The most visible manifestations of yoga are physical poses or
asanas and these were the easiest to depict. Hence the profusion
in India's pre-modern sculpture and art of people engaged in
a variety of sexual acts, the positions inspired directly by yoga
asanas.'
A leading authority on India's art and erotic traditions brings us images of
lovers in yogic or yoga-inspired poses-for mindful pleasure, extended
bliss, or passionate excess-and ranging from the stunningly gymnastic to
the delightfully over-the-top. With a brilliant introduction explaining the
connection between yoga and kama, this book of art is as exquisite as it is
unusual.
