“Kama Sutra” was a text written by the Hindu sage Vatsyayana sometime between the first and sixth century A.D. in India. The Kama Sutra acknowledged that Life necessitates three kinds of activity to guarantee its survival. Kama Sutra praised the three aims of life: virtue (dharma), prosperity (artha) and love (kama), One of these activities is human reproduction, the importance of which is not something to be taken lightly. Thus, the ultimate erotic guidebook was born: The Kama Sutra (kama meaning 'love' and sutra meaning 'manual'). A portion of the work consists of practical advice on sex and is widely considered to be the standard work on human sexual behavior in Sanskrit literature.
The Kama Sutra is the oldest and most notable of a group of texts known generically as Kama Shastra. Traditionally, the first transmission of Kama Shastra or “Discipline of Kama” is attributed to Nandi the sacred bull, Shiva’s doorkeeper, who was moved to sacred utterance by overhearing the lovemaking of the god and his wife Parvati and later recorded his utterances for the benefit of mankind.
