Sat Nam Gordon,

 

Here are a few of my favorite books on Kundalini, meditation and about:

 

"Kundalini Yoga: The Flow of Eternal Power" by Shakti Parwha Kaur Khalsa was

the first book on KY I have read and it was - and is - a joy to read,

re-read and practice. Detailed, easy to follow even for a total beginner,

warm and full of humor.

 

"Kundalini: Empowering the Human Evolution" by Gopi Krishna. Selected

writings of one of the first people to talk publicly about Kundalini and

their personal experiences with it. I found it very illuminating.

 

"The Mind: Its Projections and Multiple Facets" by Yogi Bhajan. An

extraordinary guide to your "best friend and worst enemy". Includes

wonderful meditations sets for the harmonious development of all the aspects

of the mind.

 

"The Master's Touch" by Yogi Bhajan. Unfortunately Amazon.com does not carry

this book ( you can find it at www.cherdikala.com ). A compilation of Yogi

Bhajan's KY teacher training course lectures - challenging, uplifting, and

powerful. Great not only for teachers but also for us students... if we can

go through those exercises, that is : )! If you feel brave take up this

book. If you don't feel brave... well, try!

 

"Kundalini Yoga for the West" by Swami Sivananda Radha. Beautiful, richly

detailed guide to the chakras also includes meditations to work with them.

Stresses the psychological aspect and has many references to Sanskrit works.

A bit of familiarity with Sanskrit terminology is helpful.

 

"Kundalini" by Swami Muktananda. Small but precious and insighful book from

the Siddha Yoga master. You'll fall into meditation before page 3! This is

one of those books you have to "sip" rather than swallow.

 

"The Success of the Soul" by Subagh Singh Khalsa. Short but lovely

introduction to KY meditation, includes 2 audio tapes to help you along.

 

"From the Finite to the Infinite" by Swami Muktananda. This is not KY nor

Siddha Yoga: it is a wonderful book of answers to all the questions of all

the seekers, whoever they are and whatever path they follow. In Q and A

format, it actually comes from transcripts of lectures and discussions that

Swami Muktananda held.

 

"Play of Consciousness" by Swami Muktananda. Ground-breaking spiritual

autobiography and a first hand account of the unfolding of Kundalini through

meditation and divine grace.

 

"Alan Watts Teaches Meditation". Audio book by one of the most respected

Western meditation masters will take you step by step into the higher

dimension.

 

There are a great many other books I would love to share with you but I

thought I would keep this list to manageable size and as on-topic as I

could. I am looking forward to reading your book suggestions as well !

 

Blessings,

Alina

Hi all,

 

Here's a collection of online books published by the Divine life society.

I found "Kundalini Yoga"

http://www.sivanandadlshq.org/download/kundalini.htm ) to be very thorough

and interesting.

Also, "The Philosophy, Psychology and Practice of Yoga " is a must.
