Kundalini: The Arousal of the Inner Energy (Paperback)

by Ajit Mookerjee (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Today in the West, scientists and philosophers, mystics and seekers of higher consciousness are intensively searching for means of releasing the vital energy (kundalini) that lies latent in each of us.  Tantra, which does not deny the body, but harnesses its energies and powers for spiritual growth, is the most detailed and authoritative teaching of this kind in existence.  In Kundalini: The Arousal of the Inner Energy, Ajit Mookerjee writes of the core experience of Tantra, the process in which the energy is awakened and rises throughout the energy centers (chakras) to unite with Pure Consciousness at the crown of the head.

•   The author drew on an extensive range of original manuscript sources for both the text an the magnificent illustrations found throughout the book.

•   Kundalini: The Arousal of the Inner Energy examines the modern accounts of the kundalini experience, both Eastern and Western, and describes the findings of the clinical studies and research so far undertaken in the West.

About the Author
Ajit Mookerjee was an acknowledged expert on Eastern art and the sacred texts of India.

4.0 out of 5 stars Kundalini Philosophy, May 17, 2000

By A Customer

This book is meant to introduce the reader to the ancient yogic tradition of Kundalini. It details what the historic tantric scriptures describe and has many illustrations of historic drawings. The concept of Kudalini - awakening body/mind chakras - is described from a Eastern perspective. This also describes experiences of Kundalini by some of the known swamis (holy people).

Please note that this is not a Kundalini awakening instruction book. It is more a scholarly work on describing traditional Kundalini.

If you like to know about traditional concepts of Kundalini, this book will give you a good introduction.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential Starting Point..., September 7, 2008

By	A. Rose "Rosie" (PA /USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book has been an essential learning tool recommended to my classes in Energy Medicine as I teach Reiki Energy Medicine. It steeps one in the simplest manner with a proper overview of the Energy Field of a living being in what can be quite the most poignant albeit ancient conception. This is the way this material has been taught for thousands of years. And no wonder! It really works.

5.0 out of 5 stars Comes highly recommended by Radrol and Mikal!, June 17, 1999

By A Customer

I haven't read this book, but came across this reference in a book by Roland Drolet I am translating into English. "Another example of a word which needs to be demystified is Kundalini, which is nothing other than the sexual energy, that is the mass nuclear energy (E-mc2) liberated during sexual relations. For more details and depth on the Kundalini, see the two excellent works: "Kundalini: The arousal of the inner energy" by A. Mookerjee and "The Tao of Sexology" by Dr. S. T. Chan."
