Book Description

January 1, 1996
Kundalini: Yoga for the West is a practical guide for building character, increasing awareness and discovering one’s inner potential. Exploring each cakra, Swami Radha asks questions for reflection and presents clear directions for exercises and practices on such subjects as mind and consciousness; the senses; sex, birth, and death; and the emotions and finer feelings. For the thoughtful and serious student, the book provides a comprehensive, step-by-step program for understanding Kundalini yoga.

As Swami Radha says in A Word from the Author, "the purpose of this book is to give the tools by which those who wish to cooperate with the process of evolution can do so. There is no mystification about the awakening of Kundalini, yet this process leads to the mystical experience."

The book is richly illustrated. The hardcover edition of the book includes glossy color prints of the cakras, while the paperback edition includes black and white line drawings.



Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

Kundalini Yoga for the West represents the heart of Swami Radha's teaching. As a Westerner following an Eastern tradition, it was her mission to interpret and update the ancient teachings to make them accessible to contemporary practitioners. She first wrote Kundalini Yoga for the West in 1978 after twenty years of dedicated spiritual practice. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

From the Author

sense of the inner self, of that knowing from within, is the only secure foundation on which to build one’s life. The need to come back to this inner core is very great, and it is my hope that help will be found to make that return through the material in this book. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Knowing myself will make me free., January 28, 1999
By A Customer
It is a book full of wisdom and asks for our courage and our commitment to our personal growth. Swami Radha provides us with an excellent bridge through which we can bridge the ancient Teachings to our western thoughts and life styles. In working with the book I have learnt about who I am and what is the purpose of my life. She requires us to be honest and requires us to empower ourselves as we meet ourselves and as we recognize the divine that is within us. It is a book that has been a key to understanding my life and my daily lessons. I highly recommend it to any one who is interested in growing into their full clear potential...

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful guide to inner knowledge, January 26, 1999
This review is from: Kundalini Yoga for the West: A Foundation for Character Building Courage and Awareness (Paperback)
You can change your life by working with this book. I have and so have many people I know. It guides you to answer the tough questions about life: What is birth? What is death? What is the purpose of your life? How do I use my speech? It has many exercises to help each of us elevate our lives, to make the ordinary sacred. It's a book for a lifetime, one to take on a desert island. I've read it at least ten times and there's always more to learn from it.
