The Biological Basis of Religion and Genius

An extremely concise essay on Kundalini as the mechanism responsible for the evolution of the human race. The awakening of this psycho-physiological mechanism through the techniques of Yoga or other suitable disciplines, the author believes, produces a scientifically measurable biochemical essence that is responsible for the phenomena of genius, creativity, inspiration, the religious impulse and revelation. The book contains a lengthy introduction by the internationally respected astrophysicist Dr. Carl Friedrich Freiherr von Weizsacker, Director of the Max Planck Institute for Life Sciences in Germany.
