Keywords: Eliade; history of ideas; religion; yoga; India;

Summary/Abstract: The thorough knowledge of India, in the context of the revival of scientific and religious interest for the whole Oriental ideology and way of life, cannot be complete without a direct and profound personal experience of the local religious forma and practices. Emphasizing on Eliade’s personal experience and effort for understanding the Indian culture, this article aims at reviewing some of the most salient magical and religious Indian beliefs, including yoga, as it is conceived by Eliade himself not only as a philosophical system, but as a practical technique for achieving autonomy, freedom and immortality.
