The Serpent Power - The Secrets of Tantric and Shaktic Yoga (1950)

 «Who is Kundalini, the Serpent Power?
Mythologically, she is an aspect of the shakti (power or energy) and consort of Shiva.
Philosophically she is the creative energy that eventually forms mind and matter, and comes to rest in the lowest form of matter.
She is consciousness: the power of matter to know itself.
From the point of view of Tantric practice, she is the mysterious force that resides in the human body and can be awakened through suitable techniques: special meditations, and yogic practices of a particularly powerful nature.
She is The Goddess: the ultimate heart of many areas of Eastern religion, not only of Hinduism».
