Théologie hindoue. Le Kama soutra. by Vatsyayana
"Théologie hindoue. Le Kama soutra." by Vātsyāyana is an ancient Sanskrit text composed between 400 BCE and 300 CE. This work explores sexuality, eroticism, and emotional fulfillment within Hindu philosophy's framework of life goals. Far more than a manual on sexual positions, it guides readers through courtship, love's nature, maintaining relationships, social arts, and pleasure as a legitimate pursuit. Written in terse aphoristic verses, the text distills wisdom from earlier manuscripts and
presents a philosophy of desire—what triggers it, sustains it, and when it serves human flourishing within a meaningful life. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
