Let me start with a quote from Gopi Krishna viewed on YouTube: "...Social equality, altruistic and humanitarian principles, moral education, universal brotherhood, and removal of barriers between man and man. These are some of the basic factors that contribute to the harmonious progress of human kind". Few would argue that man has not `evolved' to become a being who demonstrates the higher order thinking skills that allow him to problem solve, express creativity and be equipped with the power to comprehend an ever changing environment. This book describes one man's inadvertent `awakening' of Kundalini, which he defines as that "universal and inherent spiritual power" that resides in Homo sapiens, for the purpose of moving us towards an even higher level of consciousness or spiritual evolution. Mr. Krishna is very careful to acknowledge the universal nature of this power, an energy that transcends so called religious beliefs. The book acts as a single account of the danger of awakening Kundalini before "her time" (pg. 165), but the author also documents his progress, and his eventual understanding of the changes (both physical and mental) that take place within him. At a time when many are searching for a practice that would cultivate a kind of inner peace that can be made manifest in the external world, Mr. Krishna has written this book. His descriptions of how his awakening helped him to see the world differently, is a testament to the illuminating nature of the power of Kundalini. Reading this book allowed me to further substantiate a connection between the transformational powers of neuromelanin. This chemical resides at key points in the body, and works together with control of breathing and proper nutrition, to result in a beneficial enhancement of the mind, body and spirit.

This book is a fantastic read! Explained, clarified what I'm currently going through spiritually. I thought for a second that maybe I was losing my mind, but then I read this book and realized that all the crazy, mind bending things I've experienced recently are symptoms of my spiritual enlightenment/kundalini energy rising. Gopni Krishna predicted that man would experience a rise of Kundalini in the future and boy was he telling the truth! Makes me look at those people walking the streets talking to themselves in a whole new light. I think many of them are experiencing this rise, but don't know how to channel it correctly. I have experienced it as well in the form of extreme anxiety and now I am certain that this was merely a symptom of the Kundalini rise. Now I know not to be afraid but instead to just go with the flow and harness it to do creative work! Hope this review encourages/helps someone else out there that has been going through similar experiences. This is a MUST READ!!! A true third eye opener <3

Would be so much better without the commentators psychoanalysis. It's unnecessary and tedious.

According to his personal accounts of his kundalini awakening experiences, it isn't all a wonderful and joyous experience. Sounds to me like you got to go through hell to get to heaven, so if you aren't ready to go through hell, you may want to reconsider going down the path of awakening your kundalini.

I have read this book twice. The second time gave a much better understanding. A wonderful text on Gopi Krishna's personal experience about his Kundalini awakening. A regular householder, family man with a government job without any religious indoctrination, bias or discipline which is usually required or associated with this divine experience makes this book accessible to common man. He demystifies the process, openly talks about its dangers via his own experience and adds an intellectual/scientific dimension to his experiences which is quite unique and makes the book more 'objective' in my opinion than some of the others I have read. Additionally, the James Hillman commentary further makes this book invaluable. Hillman couches Gopi Krishna's experience from a depth psychotherapeutic and alchemical perspective. Those not familiar with Jungian tenets and alchemy may find this to be a difficult read. This book is MUST for Kundlaini seekers and Kundalini enthusiasts.

THIS BOOK IS NOT ONLY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, BUT A MUST READ FOR ALL WHO DARES TO TREAD THE PATH OF THE ANCIENTS!! WITH A FEW EXCEPTION, MOST TEACHERS AND GURUS ONLY TEACH OF THE GLORIES OF THE PATH. A VERY FEW, IF ANY, TEACHES OF THE PITFALLS AND AVOIDING THEM. THE PREVIOUS REVIEWERS WHO ONLY GIVE THIS WORK TWO STARS OUGHT TO UNDERSTAND THE TIME OF THE AWAKENING FOR OUR AUTHOR, WHO HAD NO PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE OR GUIDANCE, AND IN LIGHT OF THIS , OUGHT TO BE CONSIDERED A PIONEER TO WRITE OF HIS EXPERIENCES. AND FOR THOSE EXPERIENCING SIMILAR SYMPTOMS, I WOULD RECOMMEND YOGANI'S " ADVANCED YOGA PRACTICES - EASY LESSONS FOR ECSTATIC LIVING ". READ BOTH BOOKS AND YOU'LL SEE A DIFFERENCE! NICHOLAS GONSALVES

I bought this book some years ago and it has been invaluable especially when the kundalini energy opens up "crooked" as I say. A must-read for those trying to open their kundalini energy or for those who have already.

Inspiring

Um livro que revela o que talvez seja o principal processo que permeia o despertar espiritual, bem como as suas consequências e as transformações geradas no ser. Muito esclarecedor para os buscadores da verdade!

A very powerful exposition of actual experience on physical and mental effects of kundalini rising. The learning is that even meditation of sufficient intensity without any special yogic postures or kriya can trigger kundalini inadvertently ( as explained by the author) while the subject may be physically and mentally unprepared to recieve the rising rush of energy . It is recommended for sadhakas to have a competent Guru well versed in yogic and tantric aspects to guide aspirants in the path of kundalini yoga .never try it alone on your own or from books.

Gopi Krishna's story is remarkable and post Jungian psychologist Jame sHillman provides an illuminating commentary.
