“Hindu love manuals are full of advice at a practical level - although the positions described in some of them are practical only for the double-jointed or professional gymnasts - but there is a far more important message common to all the teachings.”
Mallanaga Vātsyāyana is the name of a Hindu philosopher in the Vedic tradition who is considered to have lived during time of the Gupta Empire (4th to 6th centuries CE) in India. His name appears as the author of the Kama Sutra and of Nyāya Sutra Bhāshya, the first commentary on Gotama's Nyāya Sutras. -[Wikipedia][1] [1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V%C4%81tsy%C4%81yana
