May I bring your attention to a workshop that will take place in the South Asian studies department at Vienna university on October 21 and 22?

The two-day workshop will explore the historically linked South and Inner Asian practices of rasāyana, kāyakalpa and bcud len.  These are practices, treatment techniques and formulations aimed at a variety of goals that range from prolonging life, restoring youthfulness, and promoting physical health, to accessing special powers, achieving enlightenment, and attaining immortality.
