What I would like to discuss here on Ninja is:
- is the gemini in the VMS indeed a man and woman having sex (not visually of course), but are they "paired" as discussed in Maithuna (in the VMS symbolical)
- why are they fully dressed and the other women in the VMS are not
- is the gemini in the VMS an really original picture and not added later
- is the paint original and not added later
- what does it mean, or what implications can we make if the gemini indeed shows Maithuna
ps. More on how I came there and the background of this, You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. (start reading from Nag Hammadi)
