RAVANN AND RASAYAN

Sage Agastya is said to be the first accomplished  Yogi of South India.In his book "Agastya Samhita" he has given information on Paarad. He converted iron and copper into gold for the first time and proved that through this science unlimited gold can be produced.He was the first person to carry out the process of formation of Siddh Sut  a brownish powder , which when sprinkled on hot copper and subjected to further heating can convert the copper into pure gold.

In the pedigree of sage Agastya ,Ravann was born who acquired this knowledge and transformed his city Lanka,into a City of Gold.He even succeeded in instilling fragrance into gold but due to his untimely death this unique process perished with him .Ravann had written a treatise "Lankesh Siddhant" which is considered unique in the field of Rasayan,even today. In this text,processes of converting ordinary metals into gold have been described.In fact this whole book is a compilation of methods of transforming copper into gold with the help of Paarad.

Through the use of  "Siddh Sut" Ravann could have huge buildings made of gold erected in his city Lanka."Siddh Sut" can be taken any where,in a small box and without much effort copper can be converted into gold.The hand written copy of " Lankesh Siddhant" can be obtained even today.
