About the Book
In this volume, transmutational practices and their underlying concepts are examined within the broader context of South and Inner Asian culture. It presents ground-breaking research on practices and concepts such as kavyakarpam, bcud len, and mendrup, which originated in the Tamil Siddha medico-alchemical tradition and Tibetan Buddhist and Bonpo contexts. Additionally, the book explores Islamic yogic longevity practices that emerged in the Sufi milieus of the Roshang kingdom between the fifteenth and eighteenth centuries. This volume combines extensive research into these unique practices, offering a deep dive into the intersection of these spiritual and philosophical traditions across different cultures, and providing insights into their transformative power for those interested in mysticism, longevity, and alchemical practices.
