‘Man’s sexuality is like fire, then woman’s water…’, what is the difference between Vatsayan and Valentine?

Maharishi Vatsayan had composed the Kamasutra in India thousands of years before people were crucified in Europe wearing the cloak of modernity. He writes a complete treatise on the sexuality of men and women. 

Vatsayan writes in his book Kamasutra that there is a lot of difference between the sexuality of men and women. A man is like a fire which extinguishes as quickly as it burns. On the other hand, the sexuality of a woman is like water, which slowly rises like a wave and takes the same amount of time to calm down.

Disturbances in physical relations between men and women also happen due to not understanding this difference and to remove this difference, today’s doctors recommend ‘Four Play’. Which Maharishi Vatsayan explains through ‘touches’ in his book Kamasutra in second or third century.

Not only this, Vatsayan writes in Kamasutra that there should be a fight between men and women. To show tantrums to every woman, she can even break her jewelry in anger, whereas men celebrate by keeping their heads at her feet. But all this should be confined inside the house. 

It is the 21st century. The world now celebrates Valentine’s Day on 14 February to express love. The special thing is that in the history of Europe, Valentine has also got the status of a saint. Although there is no direct relation between Maharishi Vatsayan and Saint Valentine of Europe. But if we look at this day from the perspective of India, then many contradictions are seen.

Who was Saint Valentine 
In 270 AD there was an imperial decree in Rome against love and marriage. King Claudius feels that the affair of love and marriage distracts the soldiers of his great empire and it will weaken his army. The king banned the marriage of soldiers. But in the reign of Claudius, Saint Valentine had a completely different opinion and started campaigning against this royal decree. He went around and got many marriages done, which was considered a direct opposition to the king. Claudius who had announced to extinguish the flame of love forever, a saint had held the torch of rebellion to keep it burning. King became furious. The royal decree had gone out… Saint Valentine should be hanged.

The saint who built many houses, his breath was handed over. The body of Saint Valentine was hanged. People had tears in their eyes. The saint had lost his life.. The message of love went on spreading all over the world. Love now had a date…14th February.

There is a difference of hundreds of years between the life of Maharishi Vatsayan and Saint Valentine. Where Vatsayan told the way to reach the peak of human sexuality through Kamasutra, then the death of Saint Valentine gave a date to lovers to express love and feelings.

Valentine’s Day and India
It should be said ironically that in a country where there has been open discussion for thousands of years about the touches and physical pleasures of men and women. There is now said to be a threat to Valentine’s Day culture.

It would not be wrong to say that the market has played a big role in promoting Valentine’s Day in India. On this day, the way shops are decorated with all kinds of gift items in the markets, marketing is done for this and the aggressive strategy is adopted. Amidst the glare, physicality is more visible than feelings between lovers. 

In the middle class families of India, this day is said to be the result of western i.e. western culture and opposition from many organizations has also been seen regarding this. In some places even incidents of fighting have come to the fore. 

In India, this day is seen only from the point of view of ‘girlfriend and boyfriend’ and a negative image is also created about it. However, looking at it from a larger canvas, Saint Valentine’s Day has advocated not only love between men and women, but even marriage. In Indian families, this day is seen from the point of view of romantic relations, in Europe it is seen as a chance to refresh any kind of mutual relations.

Valentine’s Day and the Market
Like the rest of the world, marketing has made Valentine’s Day very popular in India. Before Valentine’s Day, TV, radio and other media resources are flooded with advertisements of many such products which claim to make this day special. The strategy of publicity is so aggressive that people cannot live without being influenced by it. In the language of economics, it is called ‘consumerism’. Even in many hotels and restaurants huge discounts and special offers are given even for lunch and dinner so that people come there with their partner.

In one figure, it has even been claimed that in the year 2021, a business of about 7 thousand crores was done in India only on Valentine’s Day. Due to this the market is increasing year by year.
