Kamsuttra Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

Vatsyayana, your Kamsuttra,
Sex manual,
Dealing with
Sexual love and pleasure,
Amorous advances,
What to say about
Love and sex
And dreams?

Were you a yogi or a bhogi,
A yogi really or a dhongi,
A spoilt Brahmin brat,
Who were you, Vatsyayana
So hedonistic and sexual,
Pleasurable and womanizing,
Who were you?

Vatsyayana, a sex master were you
As without being a master,
One cannot write
Such a text or treatise
In that age,
Vatsyayana
And it is because of you,
The terracotta plates
And carvings in stone?

Vatsyayana, may I ask you,
Were you mad after sex,
Searching the meaning of life
In sexual dream and bliss,
A master poet of flesh and blood contact,
Attraction and repulsion,
Man-woman relationship,
Love and hate theme?

In your book dealt you with
Amorous advances,
Acquiring of a woman as wife,
Duties and privileges of the wife,
Other men's wive,
Courtesans
And occult practices
Improving physical attractions
And arousing of sexual power.

Vatsyayana, were you the first
To say of
Life around sex,
Sambhoga to samadhi
In your lineage of ancient masters
To be followed by
Freud, Hardy, Lawrence
And Rajneesh,
Were your disciples
Yogans in rudraksha
Rosary and bracelets?
