Ancient arts are misunderstand.

The arts not about prostitution or rape.

Nude women are represented as Sakthi (our body energy), which is generated from lower abdomen (Muladhara) and raising to higher levels to spread the energy to the whole body.

Women's body structure is suitable to explain the concept.

Her lower part is Muladhara and her chest part represents energy flowing throughout the body.

"The aim of arts to represent not the outward appearance, but their inward significance" - Aristotle

Ancient manuscripts are misunderstand. Because they are full of proverbs,similes, parables etc.

Unless the symbols and Mystic words are demystified it is very difficult to understand. Once if we understand then there are many wonderful things to follow.

A common idea was there among the scholars around the world about the nature and it's relation to human beings.

Truth or Wisdom or Reality is one and it was accepted by all the scholars throughout the world. So the Truth was explained by the ancient scholars in different ways or tastes depend upon the region and it's culture and the language.

Truth is one and only like the Sun which is common to all the region of the earth.

நாபிக்குக் கீழே பன்னிரண்

தாபிக்கு மந்திரம் தன்னை அறிகிலர்

தாபிக்க மந்திரந் தன்னை அறிந்தபின்

கூவிக்கொண்டு ஈசன் குடியிருந்தானே. - Thirumular - Thirumanthiram

எருவிடும் வாசற் இருவிரல் மேலே

கருவிடும் வாசற் கிருவிரற் கீழே

உருவிடுஞ் சோதியை உள்க வல்லார்க்குக்

கருவிடுஞ் சோதி கலந்து நின்றானே. - Thirumular - Thirumanthiram

Two finger length above the anus

Two finger length below the sex organ,

Lies the Kundalani Fire

If you meditate on the Light

That burns there,

You shall be one with Lord,

Who all births ends.

Kundalani Awakening

"ஏற்றி இறக்கி இருகாலும் பூரிக்குங்

காற்றைப் பிடிக்குங் கணக்கறிவாரில்லை

காற்றை பிடிக்கும் கணக்கு அறிவாளர்க்கு

கூற்றை உதைக்கும் குறி இதுவாமே".

- Thirumanthiram - Thirumular.

Meaning is that raise the Kundalani energy from Muladhara to Sahasrara.

To say that a work of art is good, but incomprehensible to the majority of men, is the same as saying of some kind of food that it is very good but that most people can't eat it.

We all know that Art is not truth. Art is a lie that makes us realize the truth, at least the truth that is given to us to understand.
