awakaning of the Gaia Kundalini

[Guest guest]

Gopi Krishna and Pierre Teilhard de Chardin?

Born in 1903 in a village near Srinigar,

the capital of Kashmir, Gopi Krishna

spent his life in the region, working as

a minor civil servant to support his

mother and sisters. At the age of 34,

after practicing yogic meditation for

three hours every morning for 17 years,

an unexpected change came over him.

In the midst of deep meditation in the

lotus position, he "felt a strange sensation below the spine, at the place

touching the seat...Suddenly, with a

roar like that of a waterfall, I felt a

stream of liquid light entering my

brain through the spinal cord."

 

According to his autobiography

Kundalina: The Evolution Energy in Man (1967), Gopi Krishna received that

jolt without proper preparation or

training, causing him ill health for

a dozen years. After undergoing what

he called a "highly accelerated evolutionary transformation," for the

rest of his life everything he saw

seemed to have a glowing, translucent quality. The final "transition" to a

stable "cosmic consciousness" occurred

in 1950 and laster without interruption

until his death at the age of 81.

 

While Gopi Krishna's ideas are nothing

like scientific evolutionism, they are

remarkably similar to those of the

Jesuit paleontologist- mystic Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. In his last

spiritual testament, Le Cristique

(1955), Father Teilhard wrote that "everywhere on earth, at this moment,

within the new spiritual atmosphere

created by the appearance of the idea

of evolution, there float...the two essential components of the

Ultra-human: love of God and faith in

the world."

 

While Teilhard acknowledged that most

people consider biological evolution

and divine spirituality as very

separate phenomena, he believed that

"in me they fuse together spontaneously."

 

Like Gopi Krishna, Teilhard's awakening

to his "evolutionary consciousness" was accompanied by great pain:

 

"One would think that a single (spark)

of this kind of light...would cause an explosion strong enough to transform

[mankinds beliefs and behavior,

unifying ethics, evolutionary biology,

and religion.] How then can it be

that I, looking around me, still

intoxicated by what has been shown to

me, should find myself alone, as it

were, the only one of my species?

 

The only one to have seen?...and so

unable, when asked, to cite a single

author, a single text, which might

clearly describe the marvellous "Translucence" that has so transfigured

everything I see?"

 

Despite their vastly different

backgrounds and cultural traditions,

had Father Teilhard ever met Gopi

Krishna, both would surely have been startled by the similarity of the

visionary evolutionism they shared.

Dear Era,

Thanks for the post. Shri Gopi Krishna was our neighbour in Karan

Nagar, Srinagar, Kashmir. I was then a small kid.
