Sacred, Sensual, Stone

Sacred, Sensual, Stone: The Erotic Fluidity and Mystical Power of Khajuraho delves deep into the captivating and controversial temples of Khajuraho, where sacred geometry, sexual fluidity, and divine union converge. Through the lens of Hindu spirituality, Tantra, and metaphysical philosophy, this book uncovers the profound meaning behind the sensual carvings that adorn these iconic structures. It explores the seamless blend of art and architecture as reflections of a non-dualistic worldview where desire, gender fluidity, and intimate human experiences are celebrated as sacred.

This book also examines how the erotic figures-including dragons, celestial beings, and non-binary representations-challenge conventional interpretations of sexuality, offering a timeless vision of sexual freedom and transcendence. Drawing on ancient wisdom and modern insights, the narrative reveals how the Chandelas harnessed sexual fluidity as a metaphor for cosmic balance, creating temples that invite reflection on life's divine play. The spiritual and erotic elements of Khajuraho's art are presented not as opposites but as pathways to enlightenment, showing how these sacred sites embrace all aspects of human experience.
