Supposedly an English noun. But the definition says it is Sanskrit (obvious nonsense - wrong script). Needs an actual definition, not an essay, if OK, and then needs to be moved to uncapitalised form. SemperBlotto (talk) 09:00, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
- Seems OK. A tantric path to bliss through sex, drugs, eating meat and other immoral things. Perhaps what Sting had in mind... — Pingkudimmi 13:21, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
- Cited in capitalised and uncapitalised forms, subject to challenge as normal. The wordy gloss was apparently pasted from Wikipedia. POV seems inherent in the term, through connotations associated with "left-hand". I've accepted the recommendation that the uncapitalised version be the main lemma. Capitalisation seems common but that may simply be "respect" for its status as a religious philosophy (or something like that). The capitalised version (only) seems to be used for the "follower" sense. The pronunciation in WP was set up for "Sanskrit" IPA, with "c" pronounced as "ch". This presumably is the reason for the alternative spelling "vamacara". — Pingkudimmi 09:44, 5 August 2016 (UTC)
