Early Tantric Medicine

Snakebite, Mantras, and Healing in the Garuda Tantras

Beschreibung

Early Tantric Medicine explores the mantra-based systems for healing snakebite found in the ancient Hindu texts called the Garuda Tantras. It engages with broader questions of medical efficacy, and describes a worldview in which powerful gods and goddesses are available to anyone who learns the secret methods of propitiating them.
