this book is excellent. most think the kamasutra is a sex manual. o.k., so it can be used as one - but if taken at face value, could create some pulled muscles and ligamentus issues...

this translation of the kamasutra has more "meat" to it than the burton translation a 100 years ago. also..it is more accurate.

furthermore, it is easy to understand. this book is about how to live life and how to approach human relations in a rational way. sometimes that is sex. sometimes it is marriage. sometimes it is just group interactions.

if you apply to proper context to this book (whatever is important to you, basically), the book is a great way to introspect and understand your own life using a 400 AD context.

The book was in great shape and acctually signed by the author. Thought that was a plus! Got here in a timely manner.

Somewhat disappointed with this version of the Kama Sutra. The beautiful erotic Indian artwork that I've seen included in so many other versions was very much lacking in this one.

This book isn't what I was expecting. I was hoping for the kind with pictures. This was also a gift and I was somewhat disappointed that it wasn't what I was expecting.

Wendy Doniger has joined hands with Sudhir Kakkar (who knows no Sanskrit and one wonders how he could have been of any help) and produced another unsound translation of an Indian text.

I liked this book because of its size and being able to pack it while we were traveling.

This is an unsound work like other Indology texts of Wendy's, as has been shown by Michael Witzel.

thaqt wass the best srx i ever had, by this bok now !
