But, beyond the shrines, the people resorted to secret practices, evolving sub myths for their inexpressible desires, in the spontaneous liberation of their body-souls. In our Indian civilization, the Mother Goddess began, more and more, to be personified as yoni, as we see it in the figurines of Ahichchatra, Kausambi, Nevasa, Bhita, Pataliputra and before long, she appears with her mate, as in the human couples in love of the Mauryan and Sunga terracottas. The exuberant poetry of the Rigveda, seems to have familiarised the myth of creation of the world.
In the Upanishads the imagery was more concrete. The mating of man and woman became holy sacrifice: The woman is the fire, her womb the fuel, the invitation to man the smoke, the door is the flame, entering the embrace, pleasure the spark. In this fire the Gods form the offering, From this offering springs forth the child. Brihadaranyaka Upanishad. In the two great epics of India, the Ramayana and the Mahabharata, which recreate the desire images of what men and women ought to be, we see the spontaneous urges of the people for free love, and the worship of sex symbols, as the sources of fulfilment, transformed into a prescribed ritual as part of the Hindu Dharmic order.
These habitual repetitions had for centuries made the Slokas, verses, more and more rigid. The caste order imposed on the Dasyus had ironed out the variety of ways of life. The high-bred fictions of super-consciousness led to Mount Kailash in the mists. Below, the Dasyus worshipped the Mother Goddess in secret. She came to be called Lajja Gauri, Shy Woman, with her head cut off, replaced by a garland of leaves, creepers and red oxide of mercury on her pudenda and breasts, and she was prayed to for children in forest shrines, away from the vigilance of the high priests.
The Kamasutra was probably first put into writing in the third century before Christ, during the Mauryan Period. At this time, some of the great sages seem to have taken an interest in love and sexuality, integral aspects of family life. Vatsyayana obviously did not write the Kamasutra himself. Love-making was alive and well in India long before him. But he did amalgamate many different texts into one corpus. Vatsyayana himself clearly states this in the very first chapter of the book: Salutation to Dharma, Artha and Kama.
In the beginning, the Lord of Beings created men and women, and in the form of commandments in one hundred thousand chapters laid down rules for regulating their existence with regard to Dharma, Artha, and Kama. Some of these commandments, namely those which treated of Dharma, were separately written by Swayambhu Manu; those that related to Artha were compiled by Brihaspati; and those that referred to Kama were expounded by Nandikeshvara, the follower of Mahadeva, in one thousand chapters.
Now these kamasutras, Aphorisms of Love, written by Nandikeshvara in one thousand chapters, were reproduced by Shvetaketu, the son of Uddalaka, in an abbreviated form in five hundred chapters, and this work was again similarly reproduced in an abridged form, in one hundred and fifty chapters, by Babhravya, an inhabitant of the Panchala, south of Indraprashta [Delhi]. These one hundred and fifty chapters were then put together under seven heads:. Sadharana, general principles Samprayogika, love play, sexual union Kanya Samprayuktaka, courtship and marriage Bharyadhikarika, the wife Paradarika, seducing the wives of others Vaishika, the prostitute Aupanishadika, secret lore, extraneous stimulation and sexual power.
The book on Vaishika, the sixth heading in this work, was separately expounded by Dattaka at the request of the courtesans of Pataliputra, Patna. In the same manner Charayana explained the first heading. Thus the work being written in parts by different authors was almost unobtainable and, as the parts which were expounded by Dattaka and others treated only of the particular branches of the subject to which each part related, and moreover as the original work of Babhravya was difficult to be mastered on account of its length, Vatsyayana therefore, composed his work in a small volume as an abstract of the whole of the works of the above-named authors.
Apart from the modest avowal that he was merely a later compiler, Vatsyayana was trying to sanctify his work about the pleasures of love between man and woman. The story goes that the young Brahmin Shvetaketu went to a seminar held by the Kuru-Panchalas, somewhere near Indraprashta and lost an argument he had with a Kshatriya called Pravahana Jaivali. Discomfited, he asked his father, the sage Uddalaka, about the problem. Any reports of experimenting with the settings is useful.

Assets 5 KaTrain. A major change is that the win rates and scores are unaffected by wider exploration, which allows for more use of the 'wide root noise' setting encouraging exploration.
The default value of this has been changed to 0. In addition, symmetry is taken into account. You might notice that in opening positions in particular this combination leads to very wide exploration. If you prefer to see fewer moves, you can change the wide root noise in general settings back to a lower value.
One side-effect of this is that it breaks compatibility with some older versions Around 1. A new bigger board size binary is included in the downloadable katago versions.

Your yatra to Vaishno Devi, specifically to the temple, is made easier via the Vaishno Devi Ropeway and the helicopter service from Katra. Katra is yet another pilgrimage town in the Udhampur district that serves as the base camp for devotees heading to Vaishno Devi. Visit to Vaishno Devi is considered incomplete without a visit to Bhairavnath Mandir, dedicated to Baba Bhairavnath, and built on the same spot where he was beheaded.
Katra is the starting town for Vaishno Devi yatra and offers marvellous views of the surrounding peaks and provides pony rides to climb up to it. A holy site to visit in Katra is the year old Dera Baba Banda gurudwara that houses the remains of Baba Banda Bahadur along with his arrow and sword. Vaishno Devi pilgrimage is often clubbed with a trip to the city of Jammu or other destinations in Kashmir like Gulmarg, Pahalgam and Srinagar for an overall experience.
Srinagar, the summer capital of Jammu and Kashmir, is a must-visit destination famous for the beautiful Dal Lake with its shikaras and houseboats, terraced Mughal gardens like Shalimar Bagh and Nishat Bagh and Pari Mahal.
