 Arriving At Sinai
On one hand, the guru system had worked for centuries in India because it took the direction of the seeker's spiritual life out of the control of the wildly subjective inner voice, and placed it in the more objective control of a presumably enlightened guru.
Even if the guru was not totally enlightened, he or she was likely wiser than the seeker, and almost always more objective about issues that faced the seeker.
Obeying the guru required discipline and self-abnegation, an exercise that was always beneficial to the spiritual aspirant.

 KUNDALINI by Gopi Krishna
This site is to celebrate the life and work of Gopi Krishna, perhaps the world's foremost expert on yoga and kundalini, who was born in Kashmir in 1903.
Gopi Krishna is one in a long line of gurus and saints who achieved partial or full enlightenment, such as Ramakrishna, Buddha, Christ, Mohammed, Moses, Guru Nanak, Shankara, Lao Tzu and many others, some who are known to history and some not.
The remarkable thing in Gopi Krishna's case, is that he was a scientifically well informed man who wrote a detailed account of his life story and dramatic kundalini awakening which first occurred in 1937 and stabilized roughly 12 years later into a full state of perennial enlightenment in around 1949.
