Beyond Kundalini — The Journey Within: A Spiritual Psychology of Kundalini: The Journey Toward Nirvikalpa, Dhyana and Stillness — Book 6 of the Kundalini Science Series, Expanded Edition
About this audiobook
What if the deepest spiritual breakthrough is not another extraordinary experience, but the freedom to move beyond the need for experiences altogether?
Beyond Kundalini — The Journey Within explores what may unfold after the excitement of awakening begins to settle. Drawing from decades of personal practice, contemplation, and experiential inquiry, Premyogi Vajra examines Kundalini, prana, meditation, Tantra, breath, consciousness, and the gradual movement from energetic intensity toward deeper stillness.
This Expanded Edition goes beyond the earlier exploration to include later experiences and insights concerning pranic movement, chakra activation, spontaneous bodily adjustments during meditation, dhyana, Savikalpa and Nirvikalp Dhyana, natural breathlessness, Keval Kumbhak, and the changing relationship between breath, prana, thought, and awareness.
The book explores an important shift in perspective: more energy is not necessarily deeper spiritual development. Intense activation can bring bliss, heightened awareness, compassion, nonduality, and extraordinary inner experiences, yet the same energy may eventually need to settle, redistribute, and become integrated with ordinary life.
Rather than treating Nirvikalp Dhyana as a trophy or final achievement, this book explores it through lived experience—as a condition in which striving becomes quiet, breath may become naturally suspended, thought can fall silent, and awareness remains awake.
The journey described here moves through a continuing progression:
Kundalini awakening → pranic movement → energetic experience → dhyana → Savikalpa → natural breathlessness → Keval Kumbhak → deeper stillness
The book also revisits earlier tantric and Kundalini experiences from the perspective of later practice, showing how apparently different phases may belong to the same evolving process. Tantra, energetic intensity, worldly life, meditation, and stillness are not presented as mutually exclusive stages, but as different expressions of a changing relationship between energy, mind, body, and awareness.
This is the sixth and final volume of the Kundalini Science series, now presented in an Expanded Edition with substantial new material from continued practice.
Written for spiritual seekers, meditators, yoga practitioners, students of consciousness, and readers interested in inner transformation, this book does not ask you to accept a doctrine. It invites you to observe, question, and explore.
Perhaps Kundalini first reveals itself through movement.
Perhaps its deeper revelation begins when movement itself becomes still.

About the author
Premyogi Vajra is not a conventional teacher—he is a direct explorer of consciousness whose work arises from lived experience rather than formal scholarship or institutional teaching.
Author of more than 60 books in Hindi and English, his writing spans a wide spectrum of inquiry into spirituality, inner awareness, and human perception. Yet, his work is not rooted in abstract theory—it emerges from direct observation and practical exploration of consciousness itself.
His journey into inner transformation has been shaped by deep meditation, tantric understanding, and what he calls practical spiritual research—an approach that places experience above belief. Along this path, he has encountered profound states of awareness, including moments where the sense of individuality dissolves into a unified field of consciousness—states often described in yogic traditions as samadhi.
He has undergone two significant awakenings. The first unfolded spontaneously in a dream state during adolescence. The second arose through deliberate and systematic yogic practice in his forties. He has also reached states approaching keval kumbhak—the spontaneous suspension of breath—associated with nirvikalpa samadhi. Yet, he remains grounded in the understanding that such realization is not fully stabilized, and continues his practice with sincerity and dedication.
During his first awakening, he observed nonduality directly. Inspired by that experience, he intuitively developed Sharirvigyan Darshan as a practical framework to help maintain an awakened state while living in the world, to a greater or lesser extent. With this he got second awakening. After his second awakening, he similarly developed its equivalent and nondual Quantum Darshan through intuitive insight arising from that experience.
Rather than following rigid systems or borrowed doctrines, his path has been intuitive and experiential—focused on directly perceiving truth rather than adopting it from external authorities.
Beyond his inner explorations, Premyogi Vajra lives a balanced and grounded life. He has a deep interest in organic farming and animal welfare, reflecting his connection with nature and sustainable living. He enjoys meaningful cinema with his family, often combining it with travel and shared experiences.
His journeys are not merely recreational—they are driven by curiosity, observation, and a desire to understand life in its diverse expressions. In his quieter moments, he turns to music, playing the flute, harmonium, and guitar. Reading and writing remain his inborn passions.
Through his work, he does not seek followers, nor does he promote fixed doctrines. Instead, he extends an invitation—
to question, to explore, and to discover truth directly.
This book is one such invitation.
