Encyclopedia > Kamashastra

In Hinduism, Kamashastra (from Kama = pleasure shastra = specialised knowledge or technique) was a document about sex written by Nandi, the disciple of lord Shiva. It consisted of about 1000 chapters. The collection is unfortunately not available since it is a rare documentary and scholars are still researching it. It is said that the Kamasutra (another well known documentary covering the Indian Art of sex) is a only small part of Kamashastra.

Neben dem Kamashastra gibt es außerdem noch das Ratishastra, welches sich ausschließlich mit Ehe-Praktiken befaßt: Die Ehe als Instrument der Kinderzeugung.
