कामसूत्र, The Churning of the Cream

June 28th, 2008 by pygmalione

Kamadhenu, the celestial cow with the head of a woman, born from the churning of the Sea of Milk, has the gift of making every wish come true. The deserted wife prays to her. O Kamadhenu! She bemoans the happy times when her beloved showered her with caresses. And here is the lover returning! He had a dream, he says. Kamadhenu was before him. She had his beauty’s face, her mouth was trembling, her beautiful eyes glistening with tears. Repentant, he throws himself to her knees. The lover forgives him. He embraces her, crushing her nearly to the point of suffocation. Hugs and kisses on her thighs, hugs and kisses on her breasts. Thanking the celestial cow for opening his eyes, the lover turns his lingam all around inside the delicious yoni. Divine reunion. Churning the cream.
During lovemaking, ten types of blows may be struck with the penis, but of these only Upasripta (Natural), which is instinctive even to untutored cowherds, results in full clitoral stimulation. It is a gentle forward stroke which may be varied for depth and speed, allowing a subtlety, rhythm and spontaneity which the other nine each lack to some degree.
If you grasp your penis and move it in circles inside her yoni, it is Manthana (Churning). When you strike sharply down into the yoni, it is Hula (the Double-edged Knife).
If, when her hips are raised by a pillow, you strike a rising blow, it is Avamardana (Rubbing). If you hold your penis pressed breathlessly to her womb it is Piditaka (Pressing).
If you withdraw completely and then strike her violently to the womb, it is Nirghata (the Buffet). Continuous pressure on one side of her yoni is Varahaghata (the Boar’s Blow).
If you thrust wildly in every direction, like a bull tossing its horns, it is Vrishaghata (the Bull’s Blow). Quivering in her yoni is Chatakavilasa (Sparrow Sport), which usually heralds orgasm.
The involuntary shuddering of orgasm is called Samputa (the Jewel Case). But no two women make love quite the same way,
so orchestrate your rhythms to the moods and colors of each lover’s raga (emotions).

The indrani position

January 5th, 2007 by pygmalione

In ancient times darkness ruled. The gods, powerless against
it, imagined and ‘created’ Indra. Indra the invincible killed the archdemon Vritra and, by so doing, allowed the
organized world to triumph over chaos. Indra is beautiful like the sun. Like the sun, he is radiant. Only a ‘Padmini’,
a perfect woman with one thousand qualities, can aspire to such a husband. But, as ancient authors claim, there
is only one Padmini in ten million women. Still, the others need not despair! Through Iong and patient practice,
any woman can perfect the position of Indrani, her legs tucked up, her feet resting on her thighs. Then she and
her husband share a genuine encounter with the divine essence, token of fertility and love.

Indrani draws up both her knees
until they nuzzle the curves of her breasts;
her feet find her lover’s armpits.
Small girls love this posture,
but becoming a goddess takes a lot of practice.

She cups and lifts her buttocks with her palms,
spreads wide her thighs,
and digs in her heels besides her hips,
while you caress her breasts:
this is Utphallaka (The Flower in Bloom).
