Author Description

The Images India Collection attempts to capture something of the spirit of India in a series of visual impressions of its diverse the grandeur, resplendent in its art treasures; the powerful symbolism of ancient ritual. == As with every other area of daily living in ancient Hindu society - the act of lover was carefully codified in the Kama Stura. Composed by the sage Vatsayayana nearly 2,000 years ago - the treatise, if uninhibited in its approach to sexuality, is by no means pornographic. It aims to strengthen emotional bonding between couples by raising shared expressions of physical tenderness to the level of a sacred ritual that leads ultimately to divine union. = A delightful small book with text accompanied by many color paintings.
