erotism & temples

men gods
with amorous wives!

By Kulamarva Balakrishna

Vienna,Sunday,January 20,2008:India´s Donald
Duck Hindu Jagruti Organization says the Temple
precincts depicting erotics do not come more than
ten percent of the architecture and showed only
Kamasutra.This is not true.Kamasutra is a secular
tradition in India nourished by courtesan schools.
Temples have nothing to do with it.Courtesans
from Bhasa´s time that is from about two thousand
years ago was a fine art with =nagarika=s,noble
men.Bhasa´s play Charudatta and later Shudraka´s
Mrutschakatika showed how these two classes in
the society coupled themselves. Charudatta´s
courtesan,vitas meaning pimps etc were part
of a social school, which survived to Peshva days.
The class was called =sukhavastus= or =kalavantas=.
Erotic and other entertainment they made a
highly developed art.Kamasutra was the basis of
their erotic philosophy.If they were alive in the
living temples that was in the form of Devadasi
system to please the priests serving the temples
indicating a misuse by the shamanists.

The temple architecture on the other hand reflected
the evolution of society of free love and more freer
spirituality.Take Mahabharata adi parva.There is an
episode narrated involving upanishadic sage
Uddalaka.Uddalaka, his wife and his son Shvetaketu
may be a teenager, were walking around in the
open one day.Uddalaka´s wife was not under
abaya or veils.Her beauty could be seen by every
one.One man who was coming by was attracted.
He put his hand on Shvetaketu´s mother shoulder
seeking her company. Shvetaketu was outraged.
He was about to attack the stranger.Then Uddalaka
told his son to calm down.It was an old tradition
since women went about showing off their
physical beauty and any admirer was free to
court them.A sociological lesson for the son.
It was then Shvetaketu set for a reform of the
tradition that no married woman should be
bothered.Thus developed a decorative
vermilion road mark on the face of a married
woman.Unmarried women just maintained
a round red beauty spot above the nose.
In Kerala,when I was a child I have seen all
classes of respectable women went almost
with exposing naked breasts.

It should be also noted that in Mahabharata
vertical gossip known by the tradition as
history there were married people openly
indulging in erotics.Sage Kindama was engaged
in making love in the open as mating deer pair
in the forest.Prince Pandu by mistake shot him,
thus to get cursed when he goes amorously to his
wife,he would die.Imagine sage Parashara
mating a fishmonger girl known as matsyagandhi/
yojanagandhi as she took him on boat across the
Kalindi river.The result was the birth of the pigly
looking sage Vyasa, who wrote Mahabharata and
mutilated and corrupted the Vedas in the name
of editing/redacting them.This mother of
Vedavyasa herself was born with a twine brother
from a fish,which had mated with a sage!
Vyasa was later deputed as gigolo mate to his
two step brothers´ wives, chitravirya and
vichitra virya queens Ambika and Ambalika.
Then Pandu´s two wives Pritha and Madri also
had socially accepted gigolo children.Do make
note Pritha´s brother was none other than god
Krishna,who at a single stroke married 16,000
slave girls from the harem of monster
Naraksura!

Even before that among brahmins my gotra
originator Bharadvaja was born as a twine.His
mother had one legitimate son another,himself
as the son of her amorous relations with
Brihaspati.Details you can read in my autobiography
of egotism first chapter published in this very
blog site.Bharadvaja kept the tradition
by begetting his son Drona by masturbation!
Those days this was all normal.Later as they
were glorified as representative art,illustration
of gods and the like.The illustrations naturally
covered the temple architecture in the form
of sculptures.Even gods were born as men,
meaning incarnations.That was
the case of dwarf Vamana onwards.Temples
were built for men turned gods. Real god
being =antaryami= remained invisible, non
representational.When men became gods,
temples were built for them.No wonder their
open sexualities were celebrated in the temple
sculptures as icons.Thus if you have full
iconography of Donald Duck Hindu man gods
you can not escape erotic sculptures around
the temples.

In my village there is a temple where illustrations
of who ramayana remain carved out.The same
is the case in other temples.In Indian folk art,
there are wooden representation of mythologies.
Although we acknowledge and say Hanuman
was a brahmachari/celibate his sexuality could
be seen in wood carvings near Barkur where
he is represented as masturbating!

Besides, our sanatana sociology whole heartedly
accepted open human sexuality.For example
by calling a woman =saubhagyavati= we are
pointing out at her pubic part as desirable and
attractive.Which Hindu will advertise today openly
that his daughter was destined to live long and
had an attractive hole between her thighs? =Sau=
means that not German =pig= may be introduced
Rev.Father Kittel in Kannada English Dictionary
like other words he imported, say for example
=soragu=.We can call a man Bhagavan, meaning
a man with attractve pubic part.Mahalinga also
denotes this.Our prayers to gods depict without
any reservation whatever their sexual body parts.If
goddesses,their sexual beauty are openly addressed
like =kuchonnate= heldup breast, not with bras but
natural firm breasts are indicated.The tradition
describes buttocks as =jaghana= and pubic mount
as =arohachakra=.This continues today even with
Satya Sai Baba who magically produces a penis
from his mouth for takers,like Bharata Ratna
candidate Atal Behari Bajpayee.Then why blame
Maqbool Fida Hussain?It is in Islam human sexuality
is hidden not in Vedic =sanatana dharma=.A young
sage in Vedas described as =shunahshefa=a boy
with dog´s penis just because he held it close to his
belly up, did not let it hang down!Those who harass
Hussain are not =sanatana= Hindus instead they
have accepted the tenets of Islam themselves!

Imagine the greatest god of the Vedas, Indra is
called =sahasraksha= meaning the one with a
thousand eyes.How come because he seduced
Ahalya, sage Atri´s wife by deception. So he was
cursed and made to carry in his body one thousand
female genitals!These were then painted like
eyes for public show!

=Sanatana dharma= accepted open sexuality.
It indeed cherished it and glorified it.None of the
sages were celibate.They did not hesitate indulging
in free sex.Paramatma, antaryami being without
visibility remained as parabrahma, supreme god.
Vedic and upanishadic literature acknowledged
the status.But later vaishnava brahmin shamanism
made men gods,incarnations who were worst
fornicators.Make no mistake about it.That made
temple priests to keep =devadasis=,the gods
being the vulgar priests.(end)

Dear Balakrishna,

Staya Sai baba did it not only for Atal Behari
Vajpayi but also for Srimati Indira Gandhi,
Mr. Venkata Raman (former president kb.)
etc.The only ones who did not want it were
people such as Karanjia (before conversion),
Jawaharlal Nehru (in Jawahar Lal Nehru´s
time Satya Sai was a baby. Nehru followed
Ma Anandamayee.Then people like me tried
to find if this Ma had menses!kb.) and You.

Regards,

KPRao
Thanks Prof.Rao.My own great great grand
fathers Brihaspati, Bharadwaja are also
named by me.But their time was different.
Our time is different.I only meant we need
perspective, space and time as well.
