PUBLISHERS’ NOTE
It would seem altogether superfluous to try to introduce Sri Swami Sivananda Saraswati to a
reading public, thirsting for spiritual regeneration. From his lovely Ashram at Rishikesh he radiated
spiritual knowledge and a peace born of spiritual perfection. His personality has made itself
manifest nowhere else as completely as in his edifying and elevating books. And this little volume
on Kundalini Yoga is perhaps the most vital of all his books, for obvious reasons.
Kundalini is the coiled up, dormant, cosmic power that underlies all organic and inorganic
matter within us and any thesis that deals with it can avoid becoming too abstract, only with great
difficulty. But within the following pages, the theory that underlies this cosmic power has been
analysed to its thinnest filaments, and practical methods have been suggested to awaken this great
pristine force in individuals. It explains the theory and illustrates the practice of Kundalini Yoga.
We feel certain, that to the spiritual aspirant, this book will serve as a kindly light that leads
him on through the dark alleys of an as yet unexplored branch of Yogic exercises, while to the
layman it contains a wealth of new information which is bound to be a valuable addition to his
knowledge of Yogic culture.
