Apie autorių

Vatsyayana, an ancient Indian philosopher, is best known for his work on human sexuality, the 'Kama Sutra' (With Illustrations). Not much is known about Vatsyayana's life with certainty; his time is often placed between the 1st and 6th centuries AD, and he is believed to be a scholar of the Vedic tradition. 'Kama Sutra' is considered to be a scholarly composition, presenting the concept of kama—one of the four goals of Hindu life—as an art to be cultivated, a perspective that entails more than mere eroticism. The work dives deeply into the psychology of love and intimacy, discussing the social aspects and interpersonal dynamics of partnerships. The compendium is structured into seven sections, with matters ranging from attraction to the codification of love in the marital setting and beyond. Unlike some misperceptions in contemporary interpretations, the book provides a comprehensive guide on the art of living a balanced and fulfilling life, not limiting itself to the sexual facets. While Vatsyayana's 'Kama Sutra' has become a symbol of the sophisticated eroticism of ancient India, its illustrations and explorations of love have continued to inspire and provoke scholarly discourse in Indian studies, psychology, and the philosophy of sex and relationships.
