MOTIVE OF KAMA SUTRA
Motive of Kama Sutra is
to let you blissfully enjoy sexual pleasure.
ATTAINING THE THREE GOALS
Any religious scripture has four goals – achievement of Dharma
(religion), Arth (Wealth) and Kama (pleasures) and Moksha (salvation)
through them. There are three distinct stages in attaining of thee
goals. These are Anushthan (undertaking). Avabodha (appreciation)
and Sampratipatti (achievement). Anushthan includes the measures
to achieve religion wealth and pleasures. Avabodhan (appreciation)
is the real experience of a knowledge and Sampratipatti (achievement)
is the mastering of an art. Among these three Anushthan (undertaking)
is the most significant undertaking also means striving to achieve
something. Indeed one can not achieve any thing merely by wishing
for it. One has to convert his wish power into will power and strive
them to achieve something.
Maharshi Vatsayan dictates that a man of sound mind must divide
his life time judiciously in order to practice religion, wealth
and carnal pleasures. He should also take care that one does not
infringe with or encroach upon the other.
During the childhood years, the whole attention must be on the
gaining of education. One must long for carnal pleasures during
his young age because during this period Om is physically and mentally
fit to enjoy intimacy with the opposite sex. In old age, however
one should devote himself in the service of religion and strive
to achieve salvation. There is nothing to do for him either for
he had already attained other goals.
APPEARANCE OF RELIGION
Religion has a metaphysical existence and its fruits are invisible.
Yagya etc are the Karma that symbolizes religion. But non-religion
is physical and their fruit is visible. As per the scriptures, meat
eating is the symbol of non-religion.
There are various ways to attain religion through scriptures or
in the guidance of polymaths.
APPEARANCE OF WEALTH
Wealth is the means to acquire education, property, gold, cattles,
cereals, clothes and ornaments etc. An increase in these materials
through collection is also wealth in any case, wealth is necessary
to live a successful economic life.
APPEARANCE OF KAMA
Enjoyment of nature while appreciating sound, sight, beauty taste
and smell through all the five sense organs and thus having a union
of mind and soul is termed as Kama. Kama is also of two types General
and Special.
Samanya Kama (General pleasure): When the soul wishes to have superficial
pleasures related to sound, sight, smell etc., The resulting action
is Samanya Kama. With the appearance of the wish, mind comes into
action and stimulates the related sense organs. Thus activated,
the sense organs begin to seek the sources of pleasures. But since,
the objective is to have superficial pleasure, the whole body does
not get involved in the play, it simply enjoys pleasures through
sight, sound, smell etc and the soul, hence the whole process had
initiated feels satisfied.
Motive of Kama Sutra is
to let human beings enjoy Kama with total involvement.
VISHESH KAMA (TOTAL INVOLVEMENT)
One can have superficial pleasures alone. But to have Vishesh Kama,
one needs a partner for the category of pleasure involves total
involvement. In fact superficial pleasure itself lays the foundation
for total involvement in pleasure. During superficial pleasure,
the soul seeks more and more satisfaction. Sooner or later, a stage
arrives, when the partners cross over all the barriers between them
and establish close intimate contact. At this stage they experience
marvellous feeling through the closest contact of the skins of their
respective parts. This contact culminates in the highest degree
of joy through the unabated release of their intimate feelings.
Motive of Kamasutra is
to instruct you on the basics of Sexual Intercourse
PURPOSE OF KAMASHASTRA
Mutual attraction between the male and female is a natural instinct
among all the animals, birds etc. It is even necessary for the contamination
of life on earth. Thus what is purpose of Kamashastra? According
to Vatsyayan, Kama can not be completed without active participation
of the male and female partners. But before the two partners could
actually participate in the pleasure play, they have miles to go.
Almost in every creature, acceptance of female partner, to allow
an intercourse is more important. Males of almost all the species
demonstrate elaborate rituals mating plays etc. to coax the female
for an intercourse.
Human beings are not exception to this rule. Kamashatra describes
the ways. How to coax a woman for an intercourse. Intimate contact
with a woman is to two kinds – external and internal. External
contact involves all the fondling, caressing, kissing etc. but no
intercourse.
With increasing intimacy, an external contact is converted in to
an internal one that is intercourse or actual mating during which
no barrier exists between man and woman. But external contact does
not necessarily lead to internal contact always. Desire plays here
the most vital role.
Motive of Kamasutra is to prohibit you from unjust tendency of
kama.
PREVENTION OF UNJUST TENDENCY OF KAMA
Lord Krishna says in Geeta:
"Kama as per the religion is an appearance of mine. Kama against
the religious norms is always Catastrophic. One should therefore
avoid such Kama or Carnal pleasure."
Kama or desire for Carnal pleasure is like an inextinguishable
fire. Even the ascetics are not fully immune from this fire. The
mind intelligence and the sense organs are all the means which,
facilitate in Kama. Over powering these organs Kama covers up the
knowledge and allures the organism. Hence, Lord Krishna preaches
in Geeta to conquer Kama and channelize it.
Exponents of Kama Shastra believe that only through proper knowledge
of discipline can unjust tendencies be contained. With the awakening
of Kama, one naturally begins to incline towards the opposite sex,
Now, a common, household woman and a prostitute, both have common
feelings about the carnal pleasure. Here, discipline clearly dictates
as to company of which partner will cause the no harm to the religion
and wealth. Such a partner is known as Gamya (fit for coition).
On the contrary, there are Agamya (not fit for coition) partners.
Having a carnal relation with such partners, always leads to a loss
in the religion and the wealth. Kama Shastra clearly defines this
category of Gamya and Agamya partners. Exponent of Kamasutra, Maharshi
atsayan says-
RAKSHAN DHARMARTHKAMANAM STHITIMSVAM LOKAVARTINEEM| ASY SHASTRASY
TATTVAGYOBHAVATYEV JITENDRIYAH||
Meaning: Those, who understand the spirit of Kamasutra, defend first
of all their mundane position regarding religion, wealth and Kama.
Apparently those who opt for Kama defend his religion and wealth,
will automatically contain their unjust tendencies. Indeed, pious
thoughts can contain the unjust tendencies of Kama. Kamasutra plays
the role of a mentor here in developing these thoughts.
DHARM & ARTH NOT NEGLECTED
From the content of Kamasutra, it is clear that Kama must not be
nurtured at the cost of religion and wealth. Instead it should be
an adjunct to these two goals. Vatsayan also advocates for the carnal
relation with wife alone who hails from the same caste. But in present
era, the dictate, doesn't appear relevant.
VATSAYAN: PROPONENT OF SALVATION
Some ignorant people accuse that Vatsayan's thought were limited
to physical achievements only; and that Vatsayan did never champion
the cause for Salvation. But its not true, for Vatsayan says:
STHAVIRE DHARMAM MOKSHAM CHA, That is, in old age one must follow
the religion and strive for salvation.
