THE DAWN OF A NEW SCIENCE

In this book, Gopi Krishna shows that the human race is presently in the midst of a world-wide process of evolution to a higher state of consciousness. The secret knowledge of Kundalini, the biological force controlling this evolution, is as old as mankind and the author graphically reveals the existence of this secret knowledge in the ancient writings and religious mythologies of many cultures. He also shows how this process of evolution is behind the rise and fall of all civilizations since the beginning of human society and why we must understand it in order to ensure the healthy and safe progress of the race.

THE WAY TO SELF-KNOWLEDGE

This easy-to-read book of verse, the last work written by Gopi Krishna, is an unparalleled wonder of revelation. Composed in only a few short weeks, it contains the essence of the basic teachings of all religions. For the individual seeking to know more about their own self and the riddle of existence, it is a modern-day book of instructions. It describes in detail the way of life essential for real spiritual development and the obstacles that stand in the way of the proper evolution of the race. The book presents a view of the enlightened society of the future and the true destiny of mankind in this well-planned creation.

HIGHER CONSCIOUSNESS AND KUNDALINI

Here are clear, direct answers to questions that millions of scholars, spiritual seekers and scientists have been asking. 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.

THE AWAKENING OF KUNDALINI

In this book Gopi Krishna deals specifically with the subject of meditation and with the question, what should everyone know about higher consciousness? He shows that the science of Yoga is far more complex, comprehensive and profound than is generally supposed. The book also deals with many commonly-asked questions about meditation, mysticism, drug experiences and the phenomenon of partial awareness. With the exception of his autobiography, Living With Kundalini, this is perhaps the best of all his books to serve as an introduction to the subject.

THE SECRET OF YOGA

This book, written both on the basis of the author's own extensive experience and a great deal of scholarly research, explores the complex terrain of Yoga and its energy, Kundalini, in the light of modern knowledge. He surveys the real aim of Yoga and how it can be achieved, describes the various steps of Yoga practice, the purpose they serve and the physiology behind them, and outlines the biological aspects of this comprehensive discipline. He also explains why a clear understanding of the goal to be reached is essential for achieving success in this endeavor.

THREE PERSPECTIVES ON KUNDALINI

This volume consists of three of Gopi Krishna's previously published books which have been reprinted here together.

The Real Nature Of Mystical Experience

This work is a clear, concise and logical exposition of the mechanism responsible for genius, creativity, paranormal phenomena and spiritual experience. It clarifies the role of mystical experience as the common thread running through and uniting all religions and points out the grave consequences of science's inability to understand the crucial role that it has played in the intellectual and moral development of our civilization. This work is especially concerned with the current conflict between science and religion.

Kundalini In Time And Space

This work contains some facts about Kundalini which it is necessary to grasp first before this mysterious Force and the mechanism behind it can be understood. Gopi Krishna explains the real nature of the chakras and the source of the energy which can bring about a revolution in our consciousness and outlines the most effective way to undertake a spiritual practice. The book also deals with psychic powers, enhanced creativity and emphasizes the crucial role of lifestyle in the healthy spiritual development of the individual.

Reason and Revelation

This is a work which challenges the agnostic and atheistic attitudes of modern science. As Gopi Krishna assesses the situation "I know that Revelation has been right in predicting a glorious spiritual destiny for mankind and Reason has been grievously wrong. The marvels of technology we see around, beyond a certain limit that has been passed, can become a prison for the evolving human mind." He asserts that in order to progress in a healthy way, science must free itself of the self-imposed, rigid and closed-minded attitudes that have limited its scope of investigation into non-physical realms of creation.

THE WONDER OF THE BRAIN

The current state of confusion about the real nature of spiritual experience is due to a lack of understanding of how the brain functions as a channel for the expression of consciousness. In this book, Gopi Krishna challenges scientists and psychiatrists alike to stop ignoring the important part the physical brain plays in our development. He asserts that an understanding of prana, the super-intelligent cosmic energy behind all forms of life, is the key to understanding how higher forms of reality and other planes of creation, currently inaccessible to us, will become available for exploration.

THE RIDDLE OF CONSCIOUSNESS

This is a book of revealed knowledge of the highest order. Written in rhyming couplet verse, it gives us the cream of the author's message, and is in accordance with the fundamental teachings of all the revealed religions of the world. This inspiring and uplifting book presents an interpretation of the phenomenon of existence that is truly amazing, in a form which is the hallmark of genuine Revelation and gives us a picture of the incredible power of the cosmic life-energy that is Kundalini.

THE PRESENT CRISIS

An analysis of the complex and explosive state of current world affairs, presented in verse and completed by the author in little more than three weeks. It is a biting and profoundly challenging look at the power structure behind our society and lays bare the real motives of those who control the political and sociological factors affecting the progress of the race. This startling Message suggests solutions to these problems and draws an all too vivid picture of the terrible consequences if these problems are not dealt with soon. The Present Crisis is a powerful addition to an ever-growing library of anti-nuclear literature.

FROM THE UNSEEN

This amazing little book, written in 1950-51, is the first expression of the extraordinary changes in consciousness that Gopi Krishna experienced with the awakening of Kundalini. It contains nineteen prophetic poems, written in nine different languages, three of which were completely unknown to the author! This spontaneous effusion "from the void" contains an urgent message, a dire warning that mankind in its presently divided state is courting disaster and must unite to progress safely on the path of healthy evolution.

ANCIENT SECRETS OF KUNDALINI

Formerly Secrets of Kundalini in Panchastavi) Many of the sages and seers of the past have left written accounts of their pilgrimages in the territory of the unknown or transcendental states of consciousness. One of the greatest but least-known of these is Panchastavi, a hymn of praise to Kundalini, the cosmic life-energy in living beings. Gopi Krishna has written a commentary on this marvellous work, describing the state of cosmic consciousness and the organic mechanism in the cerebro-spinal system by which this matchless state of inner perception is attained.

THE DIVINE POSSIBILITIES IN MAN

(Formerly titled The Biological Basis of Religion and Genius) An extremely concise essay on Kundalini as the mechanism responsible for the evolution of the human race. The awakening of this psycho-physiological mechanism through the techniques of Yoga or other suitable disciplines, the author believes, produces a scientifically measurable biochemical essence that is responsible for the phenomena of genius, creativity, inspiration, the religious impulse and revelation. The book contains a lengthy introduction by the internationally respected astrophysicist Dr. Carl Friedrich Freiherr von Weizsacker, Director of the Max Planck Institute for Life Sciences in Germany.

THE PURPOSE OF YOGA

(Formerly Yoga--A Vision of Its Future) What enabled the Egyptians to design and construct the Great Pyramid? How did the ancient Maya develop a calendar more accurate than our own? How did the backward Dogon tribe in Africa learn precise details of the star Sirius and its dwarf twin when the latter is invisible to the naked eye? How can we account for child prodigies and geniuses? Gopi Krishna asserts that a new activity of the cerebro-spinal system and the opening of a super-sensory channel in the brain provides the answers to these riddles and that Yoga is the basis of a new super-science which will allow access to this new state of awareness.

LIVING WITH KUNDALINI

This is the extraordinary biographical account of the author's experience of the mysterious Kundalini Power. It is a book that has already become a classic in its field, widely read and quoted by writers on mysticism and consciousness research. "Suddenly, with a roar like a waterfall, I felt a stream of liquid light entering my brain through the spinal cord. . . . I felt the point of consciousness that was my self growing wider, surrounded by waves of light." This sudden awakening of Kundalini, the result of many years of intensive meditation, endangered his health and even his life many times over the following years until he learned to live with it and cooperate with the biological changes it brought about in his brain and body.

KUNDALINI: EMPOWERING HUMAN EVOLUTION

(Formerly published as "Kundalini for the New Age")
Drawn from some of the most important writings of Gopi Krishna over the years, this book consists of a collection of fifteen essays written on various aspects of the amazing transformation that can be brought about by Kundalini. In particular, Gopi Krishna outlines in vivid detail the amazing state of transformed consciousness that he lived in after the awakening of the Serpent Power. He then goes on to describe the incredible potential that knowledge of this energy has for transforming not only our own inner being but also the fundamental structure of our society
