内容説明・目次
内容説明
David Gordon White excavates and seeks to centre within its broader Indian context the lost tradition of the medieval Siddhas. This comprehensive study draws upon the ancient Sanskrit and medieval Hindu materials and asserts medieval traditions of Hindu alchemy and hatha yoga were practiced by one and the same people, and that they can only be understood when viewed together.
