How come that countries with "Gurus" and and a tradition of mental mastery and such are dirt poor, have lots of thieves, child labour and much else. Why isn't it that, at least one time in a tousand years one of these gurus was clever enough, and free from ego to mastermind a regime that could create decent conditions. How come that countries like Norway or Denmark have better conditions and less crime? They were berserks! Think about it?

Rating:  Summary: experiencing kundalini Review: A very honest trip through kundalini awakening, the author has avoided to tell us precisely what happened exactly before that very day, but you have a very clear understanding of the process. Carefull attention is required, nothing forced like for Gopi, however his experience show us there will be a lot of awaken people in the future. Be wise don't overdo it, awakening comes with a change in the brain and spinal apparel, consciousness has to shine within your body,needs a good and stable mind and body . Do read Osho rasjneesh books too, as meditation is learning to die going through the process of dying brings real life within you.
Rating:  Summary: Very good example of what one should never try to do Review: As the author very frankly admits, awakening the Kundalini when one has no idea of what one is doing leads to all kinds of problems as explained in this book. This personal experience of Gopi Krishna should warn everyone that this is no game. Kundalini is a terrific energy lying within the "body" (not just the physical one) that sustains one's body at different levels (physical, emotional, spiritual). Did you ever wondered what happens when one tries to unleash the energy contained in atoms ? Kundalini is similar, in that awakening this energy source leads to chain reactions like nuclear power. Kundalini will have effects on all aspects of your life. If you do not know the purpose of awakening the Kundalini, then it means you are not ready to play that game. If you know what you are doing (i.e. are already spiritually awake and know that the end in itself is not to obtain anything) then it's not a problem, and in that case Kundalini will awaken by itself even without you being aware of it.
Still, if you want to play with chakras and Kundalini, then be prepared as this book gives you an example of what may happen.
Rating:  Summary: required reading for spiritual emergencies.... Review: Everyone who thinks shamanic illness / an awakening kundalini / Spiritual Emergence is all fun, light, and rainbows ought to give this book a pre-shaktipat gander, written by a man brave enough to suffer through and go public with his own version. If the rather quaint, New Ageish attempts to explain the phenomenon in scientific-sounding terms get on your nerves, bear in mind that he had no better concepts with which to work. Thank God that he wasn't a citizen of the U.S., where he'd be given a diagnosis and medicated senseless.

Rating:  Summary: Difficult to read Review: The author explains his physical experience on awakening the Kundalini but fails to explain his spiritual experience.The book could take 50% more editing. His pseudo-scientific explantions are difficult to follow.
Rating:  Summary: A Spiritual Classic - The Common Denominator of Mysticism Review: This is an amazing spiritual biography, it deserves the status and immortality of St. Theresa's and other saints. Amazingly, to me, Gopi Krishna found so little spiritual help and guidance in India, when there were many avatars contemporary with him, like Meher Baba and Ramana Maharshi. Yet, it is instructive how hard it was for him to find information and help, even in India, where this sort of transformational experience is explicitly cultivated by literally millions! One hopes that his 12 years of agony and torture are not the norm for those who awaken the Kundalini too forcefully or prematurely. Yet, Nietzsche's own breakdown after his own Kundalini awakening offers further caution to the forceful awakening of Kundalini. Clearly, some kind of yogic physical practice is essential to moderate this transformation, like Chi Gung or Hatha Yoga, or even Gardening!
Rating:  Summary: Must Have for all people interested in Kundalini Review: This was a great work done by a great man. It tells the story of the horror and delight a yogi went through when he accidently tapped the powers of the serpent. Kundalini dwells within all of us and this book forwarns all who wish to awaken it. This book is Gopi's account of the changes which took place inside of him self and the complex bioelectric changes which must occur for Kundalini awakening. Although this is a great account of Kundalini awakening, it is not a book of exercises or practices. It is more of a warning of the pain one will go through if not prepared for the "Evolutionary Energy". Gopi has written many other books which deal with meditation, exercises, preparation, and the like. Even if you wish to find books which teach how to awaken the Kundalini through practice, this is still a must have. It tells of the different effects the Kundalini awakening will have on your body and also and added comentary from a respect psychologist.
