This is one of the best books I have read on Kundalini Energy, it makes sense, Saraswati explains clearly the charkas, and what the Kundalini energy has to do with them, why it is important to work with all of the charkas, and clears up a lot of myths, the exercises in the book are clearly explained, which I like, a lot of writers do not explain why you are doing something, I like to know why and what they do, I am one that does not follow blindly. I would fully recommend this book to any one who is serious about working with this type of yoga, and wants to understand.

The author is an expert on this topic. This book can be a good guide if you are interested in details of Kundalini Tantra.

I think this book functions best after the Systematic Course in the Ancient Tantric Techniques of Yoga and Kriya by the same author.

The book is rife with yoga techniques that aim to help harmonious development of mind.

There is a wealth of information in it about the "electricity" or power that yogis call kundalini, on how to make it rise through the spinal pathway called sushumna nadi with its vortexes ("transformation stations" called lotuses, chakras), all for the sake of awakening. There are degrees of awakening. They tie in with the axis (sushumna) in the spine.

The book also contains research findings and musings into that electrifying power that may be awakened and makes some people want to dance, among other things.

To learn about the concepts and practices of Tantra, the symptoms and physiology behind the Kundalini rising, this is a book I strongly promote. It's written with humble mastery, and is a book you can trust for accuracy, and heart. Don't be swayed into thinking Tantra is something it's not. Read this book for the real thing.

Expert, specific, precise instruction and guidance from a Paramyogi and Guru. You couldn't find better if you visited an Indian Ashram or Himalayan Hermitage!
While Paramahansa Yogananda's "SELF REALIZATION FELLOWSHIP" charges thousand$ for initiation and instruction, this book and "A Systematic Course in the Ancient Tantric Techniques of Yoga and Kriya" will take you step-by-step through all prepratory stages AND ALL ACTUAL PRACTICES OF THE ENTIRE SERIES OF KRIYAS for a paltry one-time fee. Forget the other reviews on here which warn of "seeking a qualified teacher" before attempting Kriya Yoga! You can't get any more qualified than the author of these two books AND you can't get better step-by-step, seriously detailed explanations for reaching Kriya mastery than right here.
The West is sorely lacking in terms of instruction/advice/explanations on Yoga. To most people, Yoga is doing postures and some breathing down at the YMCA/YWCA or Heath Spa, which is laughable in light of information found in ALL publications for YOGA PUBLICATIONS TRUST, Mungar, Bihar, India.
