This book is not the original, it has been edited with Gopi Krishna's autobiographical account of his Kundalini experience into the context. I enjoyed reading this because I could relate to what he was going through as I myself am going through a similar crisis. However, I felt that because he had edited his biography into the book at a later date, the flow of the origial context had been lost. It is quite clear where he had edited his own story into his previous kundalini description and understanding. I did not feel that the two contexts went together that well. I would have liked to have read the original Kundalini book itseld and then read his biographical account. Still, I recommend this book to anybody who is going througha kundalini experience as well as Stnislav Grofs book 'A Stormy Search for Self'.
