Exploring the mystical practices of Indian Siddhas from the fifth century A.D., the book delves into three distinct orders: Siddha Kaula, Rasa Siddhas, and Nath Siddhas. Each order pursued bodily immortality through unique techniques, intertwining erotico-mystical practices, alchemical transformation, and hatha yoga. David Gordon White uncovers the interconnectedness of these disciplines, revealing how they shaped medieval Indian mysticism. This work offers valuable insights into the broader context of South Asian spiritual traditions, making it essential for those interested in yoga and alchemy.
