Body, Intimacy and Sex

Book excerpt: It won’t be an exaggeration to say that the whole movement of the civilization is centered around Sex, and yet it is the least understood aspect of our everyday life. This lack of understanding has lead to centuries of suppression and sensationalism, which is at the root of all kinds of insanity a sensitive mind perceives in their life. At one point, the author says, 'Know the body, but don't say no to the body', just to point at our acquired heedlessness towards the body. This book becomes an ideal medium through which one can appreciate the intricacies of a sexual relationship and rise above the social taboo. It is a collection of discourses given by Acharya Prashant, where he not only probes deeper into the physical as well as social aspects of the human relationships but with the touch of the mystical he gives us a glimpse of an altogether new way of living.
