Vātsyāyana

And, uh, for 12 episodes, Dr. Pandey and I have been exploring, uh, one of the most celebrated, the most misunderstood, uh, parts of India's artistic heritage, the erotic art.

And we have started from Vatsyayana to Khajuraho to Kamasutra to, uh, Radha Krishna, to the divine love and various forms of love, erotica, sex, and, uh, what all it has kind of, uh, brought into the spectrum of it.

Now, welcome Dr. Pandey in this conversation.

He also recognized that the pleasure of males differs from the pleasure of females and there are certain basic which even today it is well recognized.
