Here is best-selling author Deepak Chopra's interpretation of the classic sexual text written between the first and sixth centuries A.D. by a courtesan and poet. He sees it not only as a manual for lovemaking but also as a resource linking pleasure and virtue with its tips on intimate relationships, explanations of the four goals of life, and glimpses into Indian culture and spirituality. It can function as an antidote to the shame many religious people feel about the body and eroticism.
Chopra presents his own understanding of the seven spiritual laws of as part of his treatment the Kama Sutra's themes. Best of all are the sensuous and enticing color illustrations by various artists that reveal the beauty of the body and the manifold delights that accompany the sacred dimensions of sex.
