kunDalinI cakra-s

[Bhaskar Y.R.]

I have seen one more  book about this Kundalini Shakthi and shadchakras titled
*The Serpent Power* by John Woodruf (unable to comment on this book coz. i have
not read this). Just FYI.


Please respond to List for advaita vedanta as taught by Shri Shankara

Hari Om,

Thank you, Sri Gummuluru Murthy, for the explanation. I shall go thro
the
books you have suggested to learn more about the kundalini chakraas.
