Philosophical Foundations of Rasashastra

[Paul Ferguson]

"The article explores "Raseshwara Darshana," which serves as a philosophical foundation for the development of Rasashastra, a pharmaceutical science within Ayurveda. It discusses how Indian philosophies, particularly the ideas central to Raseshwara Darshana, influence the goal of achieving Moksha, or liberation, in life rather than merely after death... The alchemical practices surrounding mercury are not merely seen as an artisanal craft, but rather as integral activities linked to the philosophical pursuits of Raseshwara, demonstrating the importance of physical elements in spiritual achievements."
