• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Here are clear and direct answers to questions that millions of scholars, spiritual seekers and scientists have been asking - questions such as: What is higher consciousness? What is Kundalini? How does Kundalini work? What is the biological imperative for the next step in mankind's evolution? Is the current revolution in the younger generation a response to this imperative? Are drugs an aid to achieving self-discovery? What is the role of the sexual mechanism in Kundalini arousal? What can we do to change society? Are our leaders misleading us? All these questions and nearly fifty more are answered by Gopi Krishna in this extremely lucid and informative book. They offer specifics on the physiological and psychological changes accompanying the awakening of Kundalini. During the latter part of his life, Gopi Krishna was regarded by many scholars and scientists as a leading authority on Kundalini and consciousness research. Professor Carl Frederich von Weizsacker, Director of the Max Planck Institute for the Life Sciences, said: "This man is genuine. His thoughts and language are much simpler and direct (than scientific dialectics)." Higher Consciousness and Kundalini is a book for those who are seriously seeking to understand what spiritual experience really is, what role it plays in their own personal evolution, and in the overall evolution of the race.

Autorenporträt

Gopi Krishna was born in 1903 to parents of Kashmiri Brahmin extraction. His birthplace was a small village about twenty miles from the city of Srinagar, the summer capital of the Jammu and Kashmir State in northern India. He spent the first eleven years of his life growing up in this beautiful Himalayan valley.
In 1914, his family moved to the city of Lahore in the Punjab which, at that time, was a part of British India. Gopi Krishna passed the next nine years completing his public school education. Illness forced him to leave the torrid plains of the Punjab and he returned to the cooler climate of the Kashmir Valley. During the succeeding years, he secured a post in the Public Works Department of the state, married and raised a family.
In 1946 he founded a social organization and with the help of a few friends tried to bring about reforms in some of the outmoded customs of his people. Their goals included the abolition of the dowry system, which subjected the families of brides to severe and even ruinous financial obligations, and the strictures against the remarriage of widows. After a few years, Gopi Krishna was granted premature retirement from his position in the government and devoted himself almost exclusively to service work in the community.
In 1967, he published his first major book in India: Kundalini The Evolutionary Energy in Man. Shortly thereafter it was published in Great Britain and the United States and has since appeared in eleven major languages. The book presented to the Western world for the first time a clear and concise autobiographical account of the phenomenon of the awakening of Kundalini, which he had experienced in 1937. This work, and the sixteen other published books by Gopi Krishna have generated a steadily growing interest in the subjects of consciousness and the evolution of the brain. He also traveled extensively in Europe and North America, energetically presenting his theories to scientists, scholars, researchers and others.
Gopi Krishna's experiences led him to hypothesize that there is a biological mechanism in the human body which is responsible for creativity, genius, psychic abilities, religious and mystical experiences, as well as some aberrant mental states. He asserted that ignorance of the working of this evolutionary mechanism was the main reason for the present dangerous state of world affairs. He called for a full scientific investigation of his hypothesis and believed that such ...
