Kundalini

by Ajit Mookerjee

In the Western world interest in many forms of spiritual practice is widespread and growing. Tantra, the Indian cult of self-knowledge and liberated joy, is one of the best known. At the centre of its philosophy is the principle of awakening the viatl energy (Kundalini) that lies latent in each of us in order to channel it into spirital growth. Envisualized as a coiled serpent, the energy must be aroused through meditation. It then rises up through the energy centre (chakras) to unite with pure consciousness at the crown of the head.

Good explanation of some weird experiences I've had whilst meditating.

[Devashis Roy · Rating 4 out of 5]

Can be a bit hard to follow since he jumps into complex explanations and terms. Don’t think it’s a good intro book; you need some prior knowledge of kundalini and chakras. However, there is a glossary at the end, which I unfortunately, discovered after I finished.

The book starts out more like a reference or textbook but then later discusses interesting studies and experiences towards the end. I’d give it a 3.5 if I could. Would likely read it again, I’m sure I’d gain more out of it.

It explains kundalini well , and the personal stories were fun to read , yet it felt kind of rough and being slapped on the fingers , it could be a little more loose , it was a little bit too serious for me.

At times hard to read, the illustrations are some of the best you can even find online. And having a secular/western philosophy about explaining different sides I found awesome and relative.

Does not show the path

It shows great details of the experience one would obtain testimony but lackson the path on how to achieve bliss

A brief introduction on kunadlini concepts and the experience of practitioner's. Many photos. Not bad, but book could be much shorter or way longer. It's weirdly in the middle.

Remarkable collection of images. Interesting and informative descriptions. Some paragraphs perhaps a little hard to fully digest, but that's not surprising considering the nature of the subject matter.

Great for all levels of consciousness.

One of the best on the subject

No real methodology. just an over view of it. Not what I expected. Better books or there.
