Amritasiddhi
One folio of a medieval copy of the Amṛtasiddhi
- ... that the Amṛtasiddhi, translated as "the attainment of immortality", is an early text about what later became haṭha yoga? Source: multiple, in the article

- Comment: Whoops, this incorrectly states the article was created, when instead it passed GA review. –LordPeterII (talk) 11:52, 18 September 2022 (UTC)
Interesting text, GA on fine sources, offline sources accepted AGF. The hook is acceptable, but I'd like a hint at how old. The image is licensed but doesn't show much in stamp size. Some (pictured) needs to be in the hook for the connection (unless you give up on the image idea). --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:13, 26 September 2022 (UTC)

- @Theleekycauldron: You are referring to this source? It doesn't seem like it stems from a journal, but it's hosted on a site that seems related to the University of London: http://hyp.soas.ac.uk/ To quote from their description, "
The Haṭha Yoga Project (HYP) is a five-year (2015-2020) research project funded by the European Research Council and based at SOAS, University of London [...]
" and it lists James Mallinson (author) as the project lead. Maybe not peer-reviewed, but I think it's of sufficient quality for our purposes. –LordPeterII (talk) 08:15, 12 October 2022 (UTC)
