Kama Sutra - Enlightenment - The Experience Festival

The text was composed by Vatsyayana, (pronounced Vaats-yaa-yan), as a brief summary of various earlier works belonging to a tradition known generically as Kama Shastra, the science of love. Kama Sutra Sutra signfies a thread, or discourse threaded on a series of aphorisms. These positions are not hard to execute and the rewards are great. While the Kama Sutra itself is not technically a tantra, there are many Kama sutra tantra positions that can be used in your sexual practices which can bring you closer to nirvana. Sex is recognized as human desire which should be satisfied and which can be used to attain the ultimate goal of enlightment. In most of this material, the student of tantra and the Kama Sutra is made out to be someone who is well on the way of becoming and the greatest lover the world has ever seen. The art of tantra is not about untethered morals and unrestricted sexual activity, deviations and perversions. This is done with the sincere intention to revive, mostly from the practical point of view, this lost Tradition and to reveal the true face of TANTRA Science. In fact, the sexual experience, considered to be a unification of the Everlasting Male (+) and Everlasting Female (-) principles, has a very important place in TANTRIC techniques and procedures which are often profoundly erotic. The usual consciousness of wakefulness is considered to be only a very small fraction of our native intelligence, fruit of a very long period of evolution and development of the human being. The practitioner tries to follow the same road of evolution but in an opposite direction. He must go through all stages in inverted order and leave them behind, until he finds the starting point or the unique origin. This is logical if we realize that TANTRA considers the human being to be a summary of the Universe and therefore all the cosmic elements have their correspondent in the visible and invisible man. Here we are not dealing with endless talking and argumentation but instead with engaging ourselves fully and thoroughly in an exceptional practice which can lead the practitioner to Freedom, Pure Existence, Super-Consciousness, Beatitude and super-normal powers (SIDDHIS). Here the erotic impulse appears as the psyche's abyssal thirst to reach perfection through unity of complementary polar opposites. It is therefore not by chance that sexual intercourse brings the most intense emotional experience that the human being can have while in the flesh. Therefore TANTRA uses it predominantly to create that overwhelming unifying energy. The erotic impulse stirs up the KUNDALINI energy so that it can rise, through the subtle duct of power along the spine, to the highest center of power above the head. Male and female ejaculation is only a complex physiologic process of explosively energetic discharge with a dim manifestation of a brief, incipient orgasm, experienced in a selfish unilateral way. During ejaculation, the energy is quickly wasted and for no purpose (except when conception is wanted). But as metaphysics and mysticism go mainstream, great discernment is called for lest we bring along our old separate, fear-based self-identities that manifest the illusion of all lack and limitation. With more information comes more confidence and before you know it a new man will emerge from within you, a man who knows what to say and what to do to succeed every time.

While the Kama Sutra itself is not technically a tantra, there are many Kama sutra tantra positions that can be used in your sexual practices which can bring you closer to nirvana. We will discuss each of these sections to glean the details of what Vatsyayana was trying to convey in the Kama Sutra and the importance he placed on specific subjects. Vatsyayana's Kama Sutra illuminates these special provisions for us so that we might gain a deeper understanding of the principles and ideas that governed the culture of his time.
