Uniting over food
Vasthu Sastra by T.SELVA
What you eat can help promote a blissful marriage.
SINCE ancient times, many types of food have been celebrated for their aphrodisiac properties.
I have been often asked by readers for tips on how to enhance sensual pleasures following Vasthu Sastra, which stresses a harmonious relationship as the pillar for a successful marriage.
While Vasthu recommends the south-west quadrant in a house as the best location to encourage marital bliss, it does not cover the love-making positions.
Information on this is found in the Kamasutra, the Art of Love from India and it focuses on the three aims of life: virtue (dharma), prosperity (artha) and love (kama).
Many people consider the science of Kamasutra as a trivial matter that only involves erotic sexual positions. But the true meaning of the Kamasutra goes beyond that; it highlights the sacred union of the masculine and the feminine cosmic principles.
According to the study of Tantra (a branch of Indian spiritual studies), sex is the cause of the creation and manifestation of the universe.
Research has revealed that since the days of yore, the quickest way to stir libido is by consuming certain types of foods and those that use selected spices. Nutrition plays a vital role in courtship and bonding and the quality of one’s diet has a great deal to do with the quality of sex. In the Indian canon of philosophy, for instance, milk and almonds are served to newlywed Hindu couples because they can arouse sexual desire.
Elders feel a good sex life doesn’t just happen – it requires some help, which means a balanced and nutritious diet. Although secret recipes are not discussed openly, mothers advise their daughters on the importance of certain type of nuts, fruits, vegetables and meals for their health and reproductive system.
Sex, in the Indian context, is not just a pleasure-seeking activity and, traditionally, you are expected to have sex mainly to produce children and continue the bloodline.
Also in the Hindu system of ancient times, a marriage union that had not been blessed with a child was considered a curse from God. To avoid this, every woman who leaves her family home after her wedding carries with her secret recipes handed down to her by her mother, designed to produce offspring, increase love and enhance her mate’s sex drive.
It cannot be ignored that there are certain nutrients which have the power to regulate the levels of sex hormones, and some can even help to protect the reproductive system.
