Sincerely,






In this webpage we have used the common spelling 'karma sutra'. Alternative spellings include 'karmasutra, kama sutra, Karma Sutra and kama shastra'.
And now for the love postures
with which sculptors adorn our temple walls.
When a couple make love standing,
or leaning against a wall or a pillar,
it is called Sthita (Steadied)
When the woman sits in her lover's
cradled hands, her arms around his neck,
thighs gripping his waist,
her feet pushing back and forth
against a wall,
it is Avalambitaka (Suspended)
(Karma Sutra)




She draws her limbs together,
clasping her knees
tightly to her breasts,
her yoni, like an opening bud,
offered up for pleasure:
this is known as
Mukula (the Bud)
(Karma Sutra)


Seated, the lady raises one foot
to point vertically over her head
and steadies it with her hands,
offering up her yoni for lovemaking:
this is Mayura (the Peacock)
(Karma Sutra)





Clasping each other's hands,
you lie sprawled like two starfish making love,
her breasts stabbing your chest,
her thighs stretched out along yours:
this is Devabandha (the Coitus of the Gods)
(Karma Sutra)

Lying upon you,
your beloved moves round like a wheel,
pressing hands one after the other
on the bed,
kissing your body as she circles:
experts call this Chakrabandha (the Wheel)
If, by means of some contraption,
your lover suspends herself above you,
places your linga in her yoni
and pulleys herself up and down upon it,
it is Utkalita (the Orissan)
(Karma Sutra)

(George
Berkeley, 1710) Nothing seems of more importance, towards erecting
a firm system of sound and real knowledge, which may be proof against the
assaults of scepticism, than to lay the beginning in a distinct explication
of what is meant by thing, reality, existence: for in vain shall we dispute
concerning the real existence of things, or pretend to any knowledge thereof,
so long as we have not fixed the meaning of those words.
