The Kama Sutra is famous as an ancient Hindu sex manual. But its significance goes much deeper -- it is also a spiritual guide. In the Tantric sects, the union of the god Shiva and the goddess Shakti symbolizes the union of all opposites in the One, and also symbolizes the unity of the individual consciousness with the One. As the Upanishads put it, "In the embrace of his beloved, a man forgets the whole world, everything both within and without. In the same way, he who embraces the Self knows neither within nor without."

Most enjoyable reading. Can't beat this original,
By Robert Wild "RW" (Fairfield, CT, US) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Kama Sutra of Vatsyayana (Kindle Edition)
The Kama Sutra of Vatsyayana. This is the total original text and was transcribed by the Englishman John Burton. It flows with the hint of that era somehow and Burton puts some jocular points in at the end. All in all this is the real deal and very interesting.
