Gopi Krishna was born in the small village of Gairoo, in Kashmir, the northernmost state of India. There, where the fabled Vale of Kashmir and its Mogul gardens nestle high in the Himalayas,the author has lived nearly all of his seventy-two years. They were difficult years from the very beginning. Unable to continue his education beyond high school, he entered government service and worked as a minor official until his retirement. A number of years ago, he founded the Research Institute for Kundalini at Nishat, outside the capital city of Srinagar, where he resides, and he now devotes all his time to research.The Indian government is also taking up a Kundalini research project in an attempt to verify the claims o£ ancient adepts. In his investigations, Gopi Krishna has found that during recent times there have been very few instances of individuals in whom the serpent fire burned ceaselessly from the day of its awakening until the last, bringing about mental transformations known to the ancient sages of India. Gopi Krishna awakened the serpent fire in himself in December 1937, at the age of thirty-four, after seventeen years of almost daily meditation.He would concentrate intently on a spot above his eyebrows for approximately three hours each morning before leaving for his office. Of the event that occurred on this particular morning he wrote: * Suddenly, with a roar like that of a waterfall, I felt a stream of liquid gold entering my brain through the spinal cord. The illumination grew brighter and brighter, the roaring louder ... I [became] a vast circle of consciousness in which the body was but a point, bathed in light and in a state of exaltation and happiness impossible to describe.I What Everyone Should KnowAbout Higher Consciousness 1II The Ancient Concept of Kundalini 9III Is Meditation Always Beneficial? 40XV The Goal of Meditation 62V The True Aim of Yoga 77VI The Dangers of Partial Awareness:Comments on Alan Watts’ AutobiographyVII An Interview with Gopi Krishna:On Mystical Experience, Drugs,and the Evolutionary Processes 106Author: GopiKrishnaPublication Date: 1980
