According to Gopi Krishna, Kundalini is the super-intelligent life energy in our bodies that is guiding the evolution of the human race towards a new faculty of mind—Cosmic Consciousness. He believed that research into Kundalini is the most important endeavor for humanity to undertake at this time, and that the implications of this research are so far-reaching that the very survival of the human race depends on it. This book gives a clear description of the avenues of research that need to be explored in order to validate the existence of Kundalini. The knowledge gained from this research will also be of great benefit to those individuals in whom this transformative process is highly active.
Gopi Krishna (30 May 1903 – 31 July 1984) was a yogi; mystic; teacher; social reformer; and writer. He was born in a small village outside Srinagar, in the Jammu and Kashmir State in northern India. He spent his early years there, and later lived in Lahore, in the Punjab of British India.
He was one of the first to popularise the concept of Kundalini among Western readers. His autobiography Kundalini: The Evolutionary Energy in Man, which presented his personal account of the phenomenon of his awakening of Kundalini, (later renamed to Living with Kundalini),was published in Great Britain and the United States and has since appeared in eleven major languages. According to June McDaniel, his writings have influenced Western interest in kundalini yoga.
