KAMA SUTRA by Lance Dane  (Hardcover, Chaturvedi Badrinath, Lance Dane)

Written over 2000 years ago, the Kama Sutra's relevance is perennial, since, all of life's expressions, sexual gratification remains one of the most fundamental. Brilliantly illustrated with rare minatures, gouache and tantric paintings, and sculptures on ivory panels, the book imbibes the magic of the Kama Sutra and examines the life force or prana of which the physical and the spiritual are equally potent aspects. (Chaturvedi Badrinath who hwas done the introduction is a civil servant by profession. Lecturing and writting on Indian Philosophy is his passion and he has extensively lectured in Europe. He carried out several worthy assignments. In march 1999,he was invited to talk at Weimar on the Indian view of Nature and Man in relationship to Goethe's own views on the subject.)
