The Kama Sutra is an ancient Indian text, revered as the definitive work on human sexual behavior in Sanskrit literature. Written by the esteemed scholar Vatsyayana, it delves into the art of sensual pleasure (Kama) and offers insightful guidelines (Sutra, meaning "thread" in Sanskrit) on various aspects of relationships and intimacy. Beyond its practical advice on sex, the Kama Sutra stands as the oldest and most notable text in the broader tradition known as Kama Shastra, the "Discipline of Kama." Traditionally, its origins trace back to Nandi, the sacred bull and doorkeeper of Shiva, who, inspired by the divine union of Shiva and Parvati, shared sacred teachings for the benefit of humanity.
