Raseswara Darsana is the 9th of the 15 philosophies discussed in the ancient text Sarva Darsana Sangraha. It believes that liberation or mukti can be attained in living state, or jeevanmukti, through the use of mercury or parada. Other philosophies only recognize mukti as achievable after death. Raseswara Darsana describes the stages of parada processing and 18 samskaras required to make it suitable for ingestion. Its goal is to attain a divine, immortal body through mercury in order to achieve mukti while still alive through knowledge and removal of ignorance.
