Illness and Immortality

- Mantra, Mandala, and Meditation in the Netra Tantra

af Patricia (Postdoctoral Research Fellow Sauthoff
Illness and Immortality af Patricia (Postdoctoral Research Fellow Sauthoff
Bag om Illness and Immortality

This work examines a medieval Sanskrit text, the Netra Tantra, which is devoted to health and healing through a yogic practice dedicated to the chanting of mantras, the building of mandalas, and meditation. It discusses the nature and efficacy of these practices and explores non-medical routes to the alleviation of pain, illness, and even death. A focal point of the study is the iconography of the deity Amrtesa (non-death), also known as Mrtyujit or Mrtyuñjaya (Conqueror of Death), a deity who continues to be popular today among those seeking to ease physical suffering.
