Kama, or The Third Way

on BBC Radio 3

An Invention by FRANCIS WATSON derived from the Kama Sutra of VATSYAYANA
According to ancient Hindu tradition man's existence was to be fulfilled in the harmony of three purposive activities-Dharma. the life of religious obligation: Artha, the life of material gain and social polity; and Kama, the life of well-ordered sensual enjoyment. Some time before the middle of the fifth century Vatsyayana compiled his enduring treatise of the Third Way, which he explored in all its regional variety - let us say, along the roads of a Southern Indian kingdom. with music of Southern India recorded by JOHN LEVY Produced by DOUGLAS ClEVERDOM
