Kuṇḍalinī: The Goddess as the Power of Self-Recognition
Why it matters
Kuṇḍalinī is not an energy you acquire. She is consciousness recognising itself — and the process is not a metaphor.
Kufayev restores Kuṇḍalinī to the centre of the Trika Śaiva vision: not an esoteric force, not a psychological metaphor, but the self-revealing power of consciousness whose vibration gives rise to the world. It comes out of decades of teaching, not reading — the book is drawn from live sessions with a shaktipat community.
It maps the whole arc: slumber to awakening, awakening to integration, integration to embodiment. The argument that matters most is the last one — spiritual life is not an escape from form. It is the transfiguration of form itself.
First in a trilogy, after Camatkāra: The Hidden Path.
