Kundalini: Empowering Human Evolution

Drawn from some of the most important writings of Gopi Krishna over the years, this book consists of a collection of fifteen essays written on various aspects of the amazing transformation that can be brought about by Kundalini. In particular, Gopi Krishna outlines in vivid detail the amazing state of transformed consciousness that he lived in after the awakening of the Serpent Power. He then goes on to describe the incredible potential that knowledge of this energy has for transforming not only our own inner being but also the fundamental structure of our society.

Excerpt

Prana is present in atoms and their constituents.It is behind the energy fields into which matter is resolved at the end. It is the agent responsible for the ungraspable complex chemical reactions in living bodies and also in the incredibly intricate mechanisms at the back of all the complex movements of the organs and the activity of the brain.

Prana is possessed of a superhuman intelligence and memory beyond the range of our thought. It is an element of the universe infinitely subtler and more complex than the element we call matter. The study of life bewilders and staggers by its complexity and profound mystery. We are dumbfounded because the element we set out to explore is infinitely more intelligent and more profound than those who attempt to probe its mystery.
