exoticindia.com[edit]
Hi, I've noticed that a lot of your edits to Wikipedia have been links to exoticindia.com or exoticindiaart.com. You've also added some text from that site, which is shown as being under copyright. With regard to the text, I am removing it whenever I see it, because Wikipedia cannot use copyrighted material without permission. However, if you own the copyright and agree to release it to Wikipedia, then I will restore the text. As for the links, please make sure that each link you add links to the page. If you are the owner of the site in question, it is considered inappropriate to use Wikipedia for the purpose of creating links to it. Also, please do not add links to commerical pages, i.e. those that are selling something. - Nat Krause 16:13, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
- Hi, thanks for getting back to me. It would be good if we could have a little additional confirmation that you are indeed authorized to release text and images under Wikipedia's license, which is called the GFDL (images may also use a Creative Commons license). Would it be possible to have someone from exoticindia.com or exoticindiaart.com send me an e-mail giving permission (I mean from an e-mail address that ends in @exoticindiaart.com or @exoticindia.com)? You can send me an e-mail by clicking here. Further, to avoid confusion in the future, when you add copyrighted text to Wikipedia, it would be good if you put a note in the edit summary saying something like, "Adding text from www.exoticindiaart.com, written by (include the name of the author if there is a byline), released to Wikipedia with permission." It's important for us to keep track of who the authors of the text in our articles are.

Hi,
I was wondering if you could describe the copyright details of this image? It appears that it was taken from your web site but is labelled as public domain.
For copyright purposes, how old is the painting? I'm a bit sceptical about it being mid-19th century because of how clear it is.
Thanks for your time. Sukh | ਸੁਖ | Talk 22:47, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
I see lot of links from List of authors of erotic works missing and am mostly interested in Ratiratna Pradipika as part of Vijayanagara Empire article. Could you plase add a stub or article for it? mlpkr 14:57, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
Tandava[edit]
Since you have made sensible contributions to the article on Lasya, you might be able to sort out a couple of other articles....
At the moment, Tandava redirects to Shiva Tandava Stotra, which doesn't seem to be about the dance, but about the hymn. But there's a very badly written article, Tandav Nritya, which seems to be about the dance Tandava - and never mentions the term that is the name of the article.
To me, it would seem to make more sense to change Tandava from a redirect to an article about the dance, and redirect Tandav Nritya to point there - but I know next to nothing about the subject; I came across the article while doing cleanup. Help? --Alvestrand 05:03, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
Links to web sites[edit]
The link you placed to an external web site on Kama Sutra appears to have been well-intended, but the link was removed because the site is not a WP:RS for this topic. For information on external link policies, please see WP:EL. Additional guidelines on the placement of links are available at Wikipedia:WikiProject Spam. Buddhipriya 18:36, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Yoga poll[edit]
Hi! There's some discussion on whether using "asana", "yogasana" or "yoga asana" as the article title. If you are acquainted with the subject, you are invited to drop your opinion at Talk:Yogasana#Opinion Poll on this article's name. Davin7 10:13, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
Indian Tradition in Kama Sutra[edit]
Quiet opposite to Indian tradition, this article wrongly says "Indian tradition includes following the "four main goals of life",[12][13] known as the purusharthas:[14] 1). Dharma: Virtuous living. 2). Artha: Material prosperity. 3). Kama: Aesthetic and erotic pleasure.[15][16] 4). Moksha: Liberation." citing Hopkins and others. You ask most Indians and they will tell you the first 3 are total opposites of Indian traditions, Hinduism and what is taught in India. What is worst, is the citations are mainly of Western authors. Who knows Indian traditions better, an Indian or Mr. Hopkins? In Temples across India, people are taught to denounce pleasure, sexual pleasure, material gains and take part in meditation, but Mr. Hopkins decides to talk about some rare invaluable unheard of Indian traditions? It's like me saying in Jewish traditions they love to have sex with 3 year olds as it states in the Talmud. Sexual energy is considered the lowest of the lowest energy a human being can give off in Hinduism and certainly, illicit sex is the most denounced pleasure in Indian tradition and Hinduism. And second of all, as an Indian, you are welcome to go to India and ask about Kama Sutra, half wouldn't know what your talking about, some will tell you its a bad and denounced script of adulterers in the past, and most will tell you that Kama Sutra has nothing to do with Indian traditions. You will always find prostitutes, and sex-maniacs, even in the heavily Islamic country of Saudi Arabia, but that is far from generalizing such behavior as someones culture. Does Freud's irrational obsurd theories mean that European traditions reflect his views? Kama Sutra has been the most insignificant script in Indian and Hindu culture and history, untouched, unwanted, disliked, until some Western Jew managed to find it, and turn it into a multi-million dollar business. Please help change Kama Sutra article to show what Kama Sutra really is, and that is an seuxal orientated book written by an Indian many years ago, far from Indian or Hindu tradition or culture. It's the equilavent of any good old script, but it is certainly not any script to suggest a tradition or culture. It remained unknown for so many centuries amongst Indians until westerns decided to popularize it again and also help sexualize Indians. --78.86.117.164 20:51, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
