The remarkable thing in Gopi
Krishna's case, is that he was a scientifically well informed man
who wrote a detailed account of his life story and dramatic
kundalini awakening which first occurred in 1937 and stabilized
roughly 12 years later into a full state of perennial enlightenment
in around 1949.
In this privileged state, he spent
the next 35 years, until his departure from the earthly plane in
1984. During this long enlightened period, he wrote more than 15
books, and toured the world talking to and lecturing to groups of
scientists, yoga devotees and the general public with his yoga
based scientific explanation of the phenomena of evolution,
religion and genius, based on his unique understanding and personal
experience of a full kundalini awakening.
His first major work was "The Biological Basis of Religion and
Genius" with an introduction by the esteemed German scientist
Professor Carl Friedrich Von Weiszacker. In this relative short but
momentous revelatory work he explains how his knowledge and
experience of the biological mechanism in the body known to yoga
philosophy as kundalini is the true cause of evolution, thus
overturning the theories of the Darwinian Evolutionists, who have
in his view by their misunderstanding of the true evolutionary
process brought both religion and mysticism into disrepute, thus
leading us into what he calls "the present crisis", in which we are
witnessing the breakdown of morality, law and order, and a
progressive disintegration into war, terrorism, and global
disaster.
According to Gopi Krishna, this disaster is only avertable by a
scientific understanding of the evolutionary mechanism in the body
known as kundalini, and a consequent return to moral standards -
though not necessarily those of a prurient, puritanical nature -
which are in harmony with our current stage of evolutionary
development, and pre-requisite for us taking the next step of the
evolutionary ladder, into what he describes as "a fairytale like
kingdom of light, beauty, intelligence and bliss."
The reader is warned firstly, that Gopi Krishna's works are
detailed and complex, and his message cannot be absorbed fully
without a serious and protracted study, and secondly that he never
advised anybody to awaken kundalini without the guidance of a true
master, which he felt at this time was not generally possible to
find, even in India, long considered the true home of yoga.
