Books by Vatsyayana

Vatsyayana, the ancient Indian philosopher, is best remembered as the author of the Kama Sutra, one of the world’s oldest surviving texts on human sexuality, love, and relationships. Believed to have lived during the 3rd century CE, Vatsyayana’s contribution extends beyond sensuality; his work is a philosophical exploration of the human experience, combining practical advice with reflections on ethics, relationships, and societal duties. The Kama Sutra, written in Sanskrit, is not merely a manual on intimacy but a guide to living harmoniously, balancing love, desire, and duty. Vatsyayana’s name has thus become synonymous with the celebration of human connection and the intellectual exploration of desire. His legacy continues to influence literature, philosophy, and cultural studies across the globe. The tagline—“Exploring love and desire through timeless wisdom”—sums up his enduring contribution. Through his writings, Vatsyayana ensured that the conversation around intimacy and emotional fulfillment remains central even in modern times.
