Erotic Literature of Ancient India: Kama Sutra, Koka Shastra, Gita Govindam, Ananga RangaLustre, 2006 - 192 من الصفحات As the world increasingly turns to ancient wisdom in its search for peace and happiness, the recurring theme is the need to banish negativity and excess. Spiritual texts explore the hidden dimensions of the unity between the human and the divine, and acknowledge that any path that leads to understanding and realization of bliss is acceptable-including sexuality. Thus rather than denigrating sexuality, the ancients accepted it as a means to seek the divine. |
