Rasa Shastra the Art of Vedic Alchemy Volumes 1-2-3 (Indian Alchemy)
|
|
Indian Alchemy / Rasa Shastra is divided into nine different categories, the first and most important of these is Parada (Mercury).
|
|
Mercury is considered to be the master metal, it rises above all other rasa material. Any rasa medicine containing Mercury has its strength increased tenfold. Mercury is most powerful when combined with sulphur. In Hindu mythology this strong union between Mercury and Sulphur is attributed to the natural attraction between Lord Shiva (Mercury) and his consort - Parvati (Sulphur).
|
|
The subsequent eight categories of Rasa Shastra are as follows: Maha Rasa (Great Rasa) - this second category contains eight materials including Mica and Iron Pyrite. Uparasa (Secondary Rasa) - this third category contains eight elements including Orpiment and Realgar. Sadharana Rasa (Middle Rasa) - this fourth category contains eight elements including Mercuric Oxide and Arsenic. Dhatu (Metals) - this fifth category contains nine elements including Copper and Iron. Ratna (Precious Gems) - this sixth category contains nine gemstones including Red Coral and Diamond. Uparatna (Semi-Precious Gemstones) - this seventh category contains eight gemstones including Tourmaline, Sunstone, Moonstone and Amber.
|
|
The eighth category of Rasa is called Visha (Poison) and contains Snake Poison (Cobra Venom) and Aconite Root. The ninth and final category is called Upavisha (Secondary Plant Poisons) and contains plant material such as Datura and Nux Vomica.

The above image shows a Puta (Burning Pit) after completion of a heat treatment upon various elements including Mica and Tourmaline. This form of heating (calcination) renders rasa material safe for human consumption. Each material will undergo repeated heat treatments until reduced to a fine ash called Bhasma.

|
One of the greatest advantages of Indian Alchemy is its ancient linage and affiliation with its sister science Ayurveda. When combined these two systems become empowered to produce miraculous results, as the combination of Rasa formula can be allied with the diagnostic practise of Ayurvedic constitutional typing (Vata-Pitta-Kapha). Jyotish (Vedic Astrology) is frequently used to select an appropriate time to administer a remedy (medicine) and help reveal any possible side effects.

Ayu, HIr.) in Sri Lanka, India and the UK into the purification, production and application of Rasa medicines. These ancient techniques have remained unchanged since the time of Nagajuna (a notable Buddhist alchemical master) and are still widely used in the medicine systems of Asia to this day.
