I wasn't sure if this should go in Humor, Nonsense or Sexuality but as fun as it is it could also be helpful, so...

<a href="http://www.thezutons.net/karma/">Instant Karma Sutra</a>

It's a Flash site where you can arrange two figures into any sort of position, and animate it too

Unfortunately it's only from one side.

If this has to be moved then I apologize

It's "kama."

its still the same thing. you do a search for either one and you get the same thing.

either way, interesting none the less

Just because something is commonly spelled wrong doesn't make it right. And the original poster is not the one making the mistake since he is just providing a link.

But "kama" and "karma" are two completely different concepts, but both coming from Hinduism makes it hard for Westerners to tell the difference. The word "karma" as most people know, is the concept of cause and effect. You do something, it comes back to you. "Kama" means the concept of sensory pleasure, which fits with what we know Kama Sutra to be, although the West doesn't use it for religious reasons, nor does Hinduism only use it for sex.

Oh, and if you search for "karma sutra" books at Amazon, you'll notice that all the results are "kama sutra" since people writing books are expected to spell correctly.

I think you missed the entire joke. "Instant Karma"...the song.

I guess so. I don't know the tune. Regardless, it's still a common misspelling that goes unnoticed most of the time.
