Important books on Kundalini, documenting clinical experiences by acknowledged researchers and authors in the field, including Gopi Krishna, JJ Semple, Neil Bethell Sinclair, Robert Hamilton.

Robert Hamilton on Kundalini: "This ‘illuminating’ experience is evidenced in many ancient spiritual and religious texts and several philosophical works. Indeed it has been experienced, spoken or written of by some of the greatest minds in history such as Plato, Nietzsche, Jung and by many others but moreover by the initiators of our religious and spiritual movements."

JJ Semple: "Gopi Krishna’s mandate/vision, stated in Memorandum for Kundalini Research, contained four points ranging from cataloging Kundalini experiences to starting an institute to guide initiates through the Kundalini activation process. Well, it’s been about 20 years since his death and not much has been done on these. When I talked with GK in 1972, he believed that Kundalini would eventually become an matter for serious scholarly research as well as a subject in university course curricula. Sadly, I’d say we are further away now than when he died, probably because of the proliferation of New Age claptrap, which tends to blur the issues.

"Because it avoids many of the pitfalls of the Kundalini activation process, Gopi Krishna believed my method — Golden Flower Meditation — could be used to further his vision for activating Kundalini on a wider scale. That's why I concentrate on writing and promoting it."
