History
Kama is the Hindu god of love. He rides on a parrot, or sometimes an elephant, and wields a bow and arrows made of sensual elements. When the demon Tarakasur had been constantly defeating the gods and ravaging heaven, they sought a way of destroying him and learned that he could only be destroyed by a son of Shiva, who was a complete ascetic yogi. They eventually sent Parvati to woo Shiva, and Kama, who was sent in advance, created a spring around Shiva and broke his dhyana with his flower-arrow, which woke Shiva from his yogic state, causing him to burn Kama to ashes with his gaze. After he had been burned, he became a disembodied spirit of love who was disseminated across the universe. He is now widely known as the vaporized free spirit of love roaming the universe, such a spirit was by the Vaishnavas in the form Vasudeva, the father of Krishna, who himself is an avatar of Vishnu.
