The Kama Sutra is an ancient Indian text written by the philosopher Vātsyāyana. It is widely known for its detailed exploration of human sexuality, love, and relationships. However, the text is not solely focused on sexual positions; it also discusses the nature of love, the importance of emotional connection, and the art of living well. Originally composed in Sanskrit, the Kama Sutra is part of a larger body of work on the three aims of life in Hindu philosophy: Dharma (duty), Artha (prosperity), and Kama (pleasure). Its teachings emphasize the balance between these aspects, promoting a holistic approach to life and relationships.
