Gopi Krishna-A Biography: Kundalini, Consciousness, and Our Evolution to Enlightenment

A BIOGRAPHY RICH WITH NEVER-BEFORE-TOLD STORIES FROM GOPI KRISHNA'S LIFE AND LETTERSWell-done biographies of truly important people of the past are always relevant. But only in rare cases are they relevant to the here and now, to the way we live our lives today; to what we mean to others; to how much inner peace we know. The life story of Gopi Krishna is, however, relevant in exactly this way.An enlightened yogi, hailed by The Encyclopedia of Yoga and Tantra to have given the world the most comprehensive account of kundalini awakening ever written, Gopi Krishna was also a rebel and a radical, revolutionary thinker-even building a shelter for abused women and fighting for women's rights decades before the rest of the world.From his fight for social justice to his own momentous spiritual awakening and his impassioned plea for biologically based kundalini research, his biography is not just a compelling, powerful story, it is a roadmap for living life on the spiritual path-a sometimes challenging quest both for the great spiritual teachers who have attained enlightenment and for the many individuals Gopi Krishna predicted would now be experiencing this spiritual transformation of consciousness.In Gopi Krishna-A Biography discover how this evolution to enlightenment is the key to our own awakening and to our rescue of the environment and ourselves.ENDORSEMENTSThis book is such an accomplishment.

Once I started I could not put it down – from CanadaFrom the U.S. – This book is not your typical historical biography. The spiritual wisdom that is shared is very valuable. Teri explains in detail the various experiences that Gopi Krishna went through during his spiritual awakening. These are almost identical experiences that I went through in the process. I wish I had such a book to help me understand my bizarre experiences years ago.The process is a bumpy ride with many highs and lows. It is not just Love and Bliss.Gopi was very ecumenical in his spiritual path, preferring to focus on the scientific and biological experiences and understanding, rather than a religious focus. I highly recommend this book for anyone going through the awakening process, no matter the stage. It will provide an understanding that gives hope to carry a person forward through the darkest hours.Her writing style is excellent and flows in a way that you cannot put it down. Quite a few times I was moved to tears of joy from Divine tapping me on the shoulder while reading. Teri Degler is an award-winning writer and the author/co-author of ten books – including The Fiery Muse: Creativity and the Spiritual Quest (Random House of Canada). Recently her latest book, The Divine Feminine Fire: Creativity and Your Yearning to Express Your Self (Dreamriver Press) has frequently been listed as a # 1 Bestseller in two spir
