Overview

Sexuality and spirituality are inextricably linked in the mythology and texts of ancient India. At the heart of this culture's teachings are sensuous stories of the gods making love that demonstrate the power and purpose of human passion. On "Erotic Spirituality and the Kamasutra, Wendy Doniger guides us through India's seductive tales and hidden insights into the art of living and lovemaking. Drawing on amorous myths as well as the world's oldest text of erotic love--the Kamasutra--this scholar of Sanskrit and Hindu mythology reveals: rituals to prepare yourself and your bedroom for the delights of erotic love; the language of attraction--recognizing the unspoken signals from a suitor; how the tension of "sexual battle" enhances pleasure, and much more. Here for the first time on audio, a full-length course on spirituality's embrace of sexual pleasure.
