- In the ancient India, Yoga and Tantra never neglected this aspect and used it as a technique for reaching the higher states of consciousness. One can find example sof these arts and sculptures are Khajurao and Konark temples built somewhere 700-900 A.D. According to the Vedic Rishis and the tradition up to Abhinavagupta, desire for sex arouses commotion in the mind on account of its responsibility to carry onward the process of creation. It needs to be brought under constant awareness instead of being sought to be inhibited. Total inhibition of sex has been an impossibility even in the case of Vedic seers as per the testimony of Lopamudra, the wife of seer Agastya (Rigveda) as well as of Cudala wife of Shikhidvaja (Yoga Vashistha). Lopamudra envisioned man as abounding in the desire for sex. The sensations which pour into consciousness, either through outer senses or the mind, as memories or imagined forms are influxes of the dynamics of consciousness which arouse consciousness and heighten its inner vitality. Therefore, one should meditate on the condition of this joy, only then one would become full of great bliss by being permanently established in the transcendental Fourth state of consciousness. Finally this aesthetic sense culminates into the expansion of consciousness giving the glimpse of the ultimate nature of existence. Thus leading to devotion.
