"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."
"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 us, 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."
"Since the dawn of recorded history, religion has been a consistent feature of virtually every human society. This is true even now where, despite the discoveries of modern science, the major faiths of mankind each number their adherents in the hundreds of millions. But unfortunately, during this entire time, strife between the various religions and their sects, and between religion and science, has been a persistent occurrence. And in recent times, where there exist tens of thousands of nuclear weapons ready to be launched on a moment’s notice, and fanatical terrorists trying their best to obtain them, we are threatened with catastrophic destruction on a scale never seen before.
Is there any way to end this conflict? The answer, according to Gopi Krishna, is an investigation into spiritual experience that will reveal it as an evolutionary development of the human species. He believed that human evolution is proceeding towards a predetermined goal–cosmic consciousness or enlightenment, and that the current conflicts were a result of ignorance of the laws that govern this process. It would only be when these laws were verified by science, and followed by humanity, that the species will evolve in a safe and healthy way."
"In November of 1978, while on a visit to New York to speak at the United Nations, Gopi Krishna was interviewed by Dr. Louis Rogers, author of numerous books and publisher of Inner Paths Magazine. The interview covered a wide range of topics, including the personal experience of Kundalini, meditation, mantras, miracles, psychic phenomena, and the most effective way to achieve success in a spiritual practice. Spiritual transformation is presented as the next step in the evolution of the human race – the development of a new faculty of perception that will eventually become a feature of the entire race."
"Why do so few people who sincerely undertake a spiritual practice actually achieve true enlightenment? In this book, Gopi Krishna describes the actual goal of spiritual practice, and the most effective means to achieve it. He also explains the real nature of the chakras, describes the mechanism in the body that becomes active when Kundalini is awakened, and the nature of the mysterious Power that transforms our brain and nervous system so that true enlightenment can be achieved."
"What is it really like to be ‘Illuminated’ or ‘Enlightened’? Gopi Krishna writes: “I literally live in a world of light. It is as if a light were burning in my interior, filling me with a luster so beautiful and so ravishing that my attention is again and again drawn towards it.” This book provides one of the clearest and most graphic descriptions of what it is like to live permanently in this amazing state.
It also provides a clear, concise and logical exposition of the physiological mechanism responsible for Illumination, genius, inspired creativity and paranormal phenomena. It clarifies the role of mystical experience as the common thread running through and uniting all religions, and is the key to the unification of faith and science. It explains how this new faculty of perception, the next step in human evolution, will eventually become a permanent feature of the human race as a whole."
"According to Gopi Krishna, planted in every human being is a powerful reservoir of life-energy which, when roused to activity, can lead to transcendental states of consciousness, genius, and supernormal psychic abilities, including Revelation. This extraordinary but little-known activity follows the awakening of Kundalini, which he termed the psycho-physiological mechanism responsible for human evolution.
In the human reproductive system, this life-energy or prana is normally expressed in an outward direction for procreation. But when Kundalini becomes active, prana is sent to the brain via the spinal cord.
Gopi Krishna, who wrote from his own direct experience of Illumination or Cosmic Consciousness said that we are presently in the midst of a worldwide, though often misunderstood, process of evolution to a higher state of consciousness. In this book, he describes how Kundalini works and how it can be activated through meditation and by living a regulated life."
"In August, 1977 Gopi Krishna gave a series of eight discourses to a group of spiritual seekers from Canada at his Central Institute for Kundalini Research near Srinagar, Kashmir, India. In these talks, he describes the characteristics of an enlightened person, and discusses in detail the spiritual practices that are necessary for achieving the state of Cosmic Consciousness. He also speaks on other related topics, such as karma, reincarnation, and meditation."
" In 1976 John White, an American author and researcher, traveled to Zurich, Switzerland to interview Pandit Gopi Krishna on the subjects of Kundalini and consciousness research. In these five interviews, Gopi Krishna gives insightful answers to many basic questions about the nature of Kundalini, the evolutionary, transformative, spiritual power in the human body.
Gopi Krishna also discusses at length how knowledge of Kundalini will transform virtually all aspects of human society, such as science, religion, education, and politics. He emphasizes that knowledge of Kundalini is absolutely essential for the human race to evolve in peace and harmony in the future."
