Yoga is the science of ultimate balance between dharma (duty, or right living ), artha (economic well-being), kama (erotic desire) and moksha (enlightenment or liberation)... Sexual satisfaction is thus essential for a full and healthy experience of life. The most visible manifestations of yoga are physical poses or asanas and these were the easiest to depict. Hence the profusion in India's pre-modern sculpture and art of people engaged in a variety of sexual acts, the positions inspired directly by yoga asanas. A leading authority on India's art and erotic traditions brings us images of lovers in yogic or yoga-inspired poses for mindful pleasure, extended bliss, or passionate excess and ranging from the stunningly gymnastic to the delightfully over-the-top.With a brilliant introduction explaining the connection between yoga and kama, this book of art is as exquisite as it is unusual.
