Kundalini: An Occult Experience

Rate this book
'Kundalini' is the Indian word for a spiritual energy known by a variety of titles to many cultures - 'Shekinah' in mystical Judaism, 'Sekhem' in Egypt, 'Da Kan Li' in Daoism. Present throughout the universe, Kundalini is thought to lie quiescent in most humans at the base of the spine. In this book, Dr. Arundale gives a clear, concise and very personal account of this powerful force which, when aroused, migrates up the spine, vivifying successive chakra until reaching the crown - when it bestows 'enlightenment' of long or short duration. Dr George S Arundale spent many years in India studying its spiritual traditions, and working alongside such luminaries as Annie Besant. He was principal of the Central Hindu College in Varanasi, and in 1934 was elected as president of the Theosophical Society, a post he held until his death in 1945.

Este libro me ha resultado de lectura sencilla y a la vez profunda, aunque me hubiese gustado seguir leyendo, se me hizo algo corto porque realmente lo disfruté y cada reflexión en él es valiosísima. Tiene la riqueza de lo simple.
Creo que quien lo lea tendrá un atisbo bastante acertado de la magnificencia de la Kundalini. Quienes hayan experimentado este "fuego" realmente se verán reflejados en muchos de los relatos que brinda el autor.
"Y cuando lo particular se pierde en lo universal, con lo cual descubre su verdadera eternidad, lo universal desciende para establecer su morada en lo individual. Esto es parte del objetivo de la Kundalini"

Nulla deve essere divulgato al fine di sviluppare un potere che distrugge spietatamente ove si cerchi di ridestarlo prima del tempo" Con queste parole, George Sydney Arundale, mette in guardia i lettori contro il suo stesso libro. "Kundalini è un'esperienza occulta, un'esperienza nell'ancora poco conosciuto ramo del Fuoco-Serpentino; è stata scritta più in funzione del mistero dell'avventura, senza l'intenzione di procurare un sapere preciso. Quello che preme è l'idea di mistero di Kundalini, non della conoscenza. non servono altre parole

No me gustó nada este libro... Demasiado obscuro, ambiguo y vago. Este es el prototipo del libro metafísico, new-age, pseudo-espiritual que tanto descrédito da al yoga y a otros sistemas de pensamiento no occidental.
