AUTHOR FAILS TO UNDERSTAND CAUSE OF HIS PROLONGED TORMENT The main value of this book as of the rest of this authors books is that he brings to light the fact that there is an inseparable link between spiritual, consciousness transformation and physical transformation, the latter being the prerequisite for the former. He never realizes that the marked fluctuations in his mental states was a reflection of fluctuations in his blood level of toxicity and consequently was never able to gain direct control over his fluctuating mental states, but rather had to endure the situation until the body finally settled into a new balance. It is elemental knowledge that in practicing yoga, Hatha Yoga (the yoga
Maybe all this stuff is true."—Shambhala Sun "At a time when the word 'Kundalini' is bandied about by too many self-appointed gurus and occult groups offering enlightenment in ten easy lessons, Gopi Krishna provides a salutary reminder of what a serious undertaking it is to attempt to raise this awesome power. I salute this great sage and scientist of the twentieth century and congratulate the publishers for bringing out this volume."—Deepak Chopra, M.D., author of Quantum Healing "G
