Synopsis

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.

About this title

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.

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.
