Recipes for Immortality: Healing, Religion, and Community in South India
Weiss, Richard S (Dr. Senior Lecturer of South Asian Religions, Dr. Senior Lecturer of South Asian Religions, Victoria University, Wellington, New Zealand)
In this book, Weiss seeks to illuminate the present success of traditional doctors by examining the ways that siddha practitioners in Tamil South India have won the trust and patronage of patients. They do this, he shows, by offering affiliation to a timeless and pure community, the fantasy of a Tamil utopia, and even the prospect of immortality.
