For the interested, In Indian Mythology, Kama, as mentioned in the previous post is the name of the male deity of love. He is supposed to be very beautiful (handsome!!). He shoots human with a five tipped flower arrow, each tip for each of the sense. These tips are supposed to capture the 5 senses of the human beings and lead their life to marriage (Samsara) abandoning Bachelordom (Brahmacharyam). It is for this reason, in Buddhism Kama, is seen as a demon. Since he disturbs the monks from being bachelors!! -dyno
