by Swami Sivananda Radha
Kundalini Yoga is the path to freedom. In Kundalini Yoga for the West, Swami Radha translates the mystical teachings of Kundalini into a practical guide for self-investigation.
This classic yogic text, first published in 1978, is a resource for bringing yoga into your daily life, with the tools for discovering our true source of knowledge and inspiration. Using reflection exercises, meditations and breathing techniques, Swami Radha takes us step by step, chakra by chakra, through an exploration of consciousness.
Who am I? What is the purpose of my life? In the practice of Kundalini Yoga, you ask yourself many questions and must always be willing to investigate your answers. As you become stronger at looking for possibilities, you may accept the challenge of discovering the mystery deep within yourself, the innate power that is called Kundalini.
“Kundalini Yoga for the West is one of the few books on Kundalni Yoga written by a Westerner that strikes me as being authentic. I always admired Swami Radha for being very faithful to the tradition, yet finding ways to translate that wisdom into Western terms using psychology and imagery that we are familiar with. There are not many teachers who have that capability. Kundalini Yoga for the West is an outstanding accomplishment. I love referring to it, and I always recommend it to people.” – Georg Feurstein, Yoga Research and Education Center
“The importance of Swami Radha’s work is becoming more apparent with every passing year. This book, a wonderful achievement, is a gift to all seekers. It is significant, relevant, and timeless.” – Gene Kieffer, Founder/Director of the Kundalini Research Foundation
