A BIOGRAPHY RICH WITH NEVER-BEFORE-TOLD STORIES FROM GOPI KRISHNA'S LIFE AND LETTERS Well-done biographies of truly important people of the past are always relevant. But only in rare cases are they relevant to the here and now, to the way we live our lives today; to what we mean to others; to how much inner peace we know. The life story of Gopi Krishna is, however, relevant in exactly this way. An enlightened yogi, hailed by The Encyclopedia of Yoga and Tantra to have given the world the most comprehensive account of kundalini awakening ever written, Gopi Krishna was also a rebel and a radical, revolutionary thinker-even building a shelter for abused women and fighting for women's rights decades before the rest of the world. From his fight for social justice to his own momentous spiritual awakening and his impassioned plea for biologically based kundalini research, his biography is not just a compelling, powerful story, it is a roadmap for living life on the spiritual path-a sometimes challenging quest both for the great spiritual teachers who have attained enlightenment and for the many individuals Gopi Krishna predicted would now be experiencing this spiritual transformation of consciousness. In Gopi Krishna-A Biography discover how this evolution to enlightenment is the key to our own awakening and to our rescue of the environment and ourselves.
