Think Of The Erotic Literature From India And What Immediately Comes To Mind Is Vatsyayana S Kamasutra. This Was Indeed Not The First Study In Erotology Nor Was It The Last. Beginning With The Rig Veda (Written Some 5000 Years Ago) Right Up To The Seventeenth Century, Indian Literature Is Marked By Diverse Genres Replete With Unabashed Eroticism In Which Love, Lust And Life Are Explored To Their Fullest Extent& Today, The Philosophical Acceptance Of Desire And The Erotic Sentiment Has Been Asphyxiated By A Hypocritical Morality That Has Much For Too Long Equated Sex With Sin And Desire With Guilt. The Purpose Of This Anthology Is To Provide Enough Evidence Of An Alternative Vision, So That Readers Can Get A Glimpse Of The Sense Of Maturity And Honesty That Animated Our Ancestors. In This Comprehensive Anthology, The Authors Forcefully Drive Home The Point That The Fascination With Eroticism Is Age-Old. The Absence Of Inhibition And Guilt And The Candour And Boldness With Which Society Set About Seeking Its Pl Easures Find Expression Repeatedly In Writings Over The Past Ages. The Literature Of India, Both Religious And Secular, Is Full Of Sexual Allusions, Sexual Symbolisms And Passages Of Such Frank Eroticism The Likes Of Which Are Not To Be Found Elsewhere In World Literature. For Example, Some Sections Of Ancient Texts Like The Vedas, The Upanishads, The Epics (The Mahabharata And The Ramayana), The Brahmins, The Puranas And Devotional Hymns Like The Saundarya Lahiri (By Adi Shankaracharya) Are Studded With Graphic Sexual Imagery. The Sacred And The Sensuous Were Thus Seen As Integrated Elements Of Human Existence. In This Medieval Period, Writers, Poets, Dramatists, Painters, Sculptors And Artists, Whatever Be Their Language And Idiom, Gave Full Vent To Their Creative Talents, Suffused With The Sexual Metaphor. Kalidasa And Jayadev Stand Out As Exemplars Of This Genre. It Was Basically The Evangelical Fervor Of The Victorian Era That Imposed Severe Structures On The So-Called Heathen Amorous Degradation And Sought To Cleanse The Indian People By Propagating Western Morality And Values . And The Victorian Hangover Still Persists. The Underlying Themes Of This Volume Are That, In The India Tradition, The Relevance Of Desire, With Eroticism As Its Natural Attribute, Was Pragmatically Accepted And That Women Were Given Equal Status As Men In The Pursuit Of Pleasure.

An exceptional selection of erotic poetry from ancient India, The Cane Groves of Narmada River features poems composed from the second century CE to the sixteenth century. Starting with several poems from the Prakrit anthology attributed to King Hala, the Sattasai, the book then takes in its sweep some of the most famous and enduring erotic poems composed in Sanskrit (and related vernacular traditions) by poets like Amaru, Bhavabhuti, Bhartrihari, Hemachandra and Vidya among others. Uninhibited, poignant and filled with tenderness and longing, these poems are a glorious celebration of love, sex and beauty. Through the whole night we slowly made love, body pressed against body, cheek against cheek. We spoke every thought that came into mind. Lost in each other's arms lost in words, we never noticed dawn had come the night flown.

In the literature of all countries there will be found a certain number of works treating especially of love. Everywhere the subject is dealt with differently, and from various points of view. In the present publication it is proposed to give a complete translation of what is considered the standard work on love in Sanscrit literature, and which is called the `Vatsyayana Kama Sutra', or Aphorisms on Love, by Vatsyayana. While the introduction will deal with the evidence concerning the date of the writing, and the commentaries written upon it, the chapters following the introduction will give a translation of the work itself. It is, however, advisable to furnish here a brief analysis of works of the same nature, prepared by authors who lived and wrote years after Vatsyayana had passed away, but who still considered him as the great authority, and always quoted him as the chief guide to Hindoo erotic literature.Besides the treatise of Vatsyayana the following works on the same subject are procurable in India:The Ratirahasya, or secrets of loveThe Panchasakya, or the five arrowsThe Smara Pradipa, or the light of loveThe Ratimanjari, or the garland of loveThe Rasmanjari, or the sprout of loveThe Anunga Runga, or the stage of love also called Kamaledhiplava, or a boat in the ocean of love. The author of the `Secrets of Love' was a poet named Kukkoka. He composedhis work to please one Venudutta, who was perhaps a king. When writing his own name at the end of each chapter he calls himself `Siddha patiya pandita', i.e. an ingenious man among learned men. The work was translated into Hindi years ago, and in this the author's name was written as Koka. And as the samename crept into all the translations into other languages in India, the book became generally known, and the subject was popularly called Koka Shastra, or doctrines of Koka, which is identical with the Kama Shastra, or doctrines of love, and the words Koka Shastra and Kama Shastra are used indiscriminately.The work contains nearly eight hundred verses, and is divided into ten chapters, which are called Pachivedas. Some of the things treated of in this work are not to be found in the Vatsyayana, such as the four classes of women,the Padmini, Chitrini, Shankini and Hastini, as also the enumeration of the days and hours on which the women of the different classes become subject to love, The author adds that he wrote these things from the opinions of Gonikaputra and Nandikeshwara, both of whom are mentioned by Vatsyayana, but their works are not now extant. It is difficult to give any approximate idea as to the year in which the work was composed. It is only to be presumed that it was written after that of Vatsyayana, and previous to the other works on thissubject that are still extant. Vatsyayana gives the names of ten authors on the subject, all of whose works he had consulted, but none of which are extant, and does not mention this one. This would tend to show that Kukkoka wrote afterVatsya, otherwise Vatsya would assuredly have mentioned him as an author in this branch of literature along with the others.

This book chronicles the story of love which is considered an Indian creation. The first love story of the world was found in the Rig Veda and the first comprehensive work on love was written in India with Kamasutra becoming one of its offshoots. Love techniques were perfected over centuries and sculpted on the walls of temples of Khajuraho and Konarak. Since ancient times, rishis in India have believed that it was love which came first and then followed the world. The origin and evolution of love in India is traced by the author in an elaborate manner, providing invaluable insights which make this book a rare treasury in itself. The book draws from concrete sources including cave paintings, ancient archaeological findings and a mass of literature belonging to the Vedic and Buddhist eras to give a complete portrayal of love. Through love lyrics, humorous plays and erotic descriptions, Love in Ancient India takes you through a timeless saga of royalty and grandeur, beauty and infidelity, all of which are interspersed with the concept of the world’s most bewitching expression - love.
