Suzanne Newcombe speaks on 'The In-between Worlds of Yogis: Body Jumping, Immortality and Kayakalpa practices'

Abstract: This paper will consider some of the many techniques of indefinite life extension used within Indian yogic and Ayurvedic traditions. The process of achieving ultimate liberation may involve moving a consciousness in-between bodies, existing outside of a body, or going through a literal rebirthing process. The later practice, known as kayakalpa, has undergone a small revival in the last century.

Presentation by Dagmar Wujastyk: Old substances, new understandings: Iron tonics and the roots of ayurvedic iatrochemistry

Between the ninth and elevnth centuries CE, the Sanskrit medical texts began to record profound changes in the methods used for drug manufacture. New substances, such as heavy metals and mineral poisons were added to the ayurvedic pharmacopoiea or were given new prominence. More significantly, however, new ways of processing raw materials adopted from the emerging alchemical discipline were introduced. These procedures were thought to make substances both fit for medical use and at the same time to heighten the substances’ potency.

Lecture by Christèle Barois: La production de la couleur selon la médecine classique indienne

Les textes qui représentent la médecine classique indienne — la Carakasaṃhitā,  la Suśrutasaṃhitā, ainsi que l’Aṣṭāṅgahṛdayasaṃhitā et l’Aṣṭāṅgasaṃgraha,  deux recueils attribués à Vāgbhaṭa (viie s.) —  décrivent des pratiques fondées sur le diagnostic médical, qui laissent peu de place à la magie et à la religion. La couleur y est un attribut de la matière, que cette matière  soit la peau, les constituants organiques ou fluides du corps ou les ingrédients utilisés pour les remèdes.
