- Ajit Mookerjee was born in Nalia, Faridpur, Bengal in 1915. He was a precocious scholar and earned his Masters Degrees at the ages of 22 and 25 respectively. At 22 he also received training in museology form the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Horseman Museum in London. Mookerjee published his first book "Folk Art of Bengal: A Study of an Art for, and of, the People" was published in 1939, when Mookerjee was 24 years old. During World War II, Mookerjee travelled extensively throughout India, Africa, and South America then began his work as the director of New Delhi's Crafts Museum. Much of Mookerjee's work focuses on Tantricism, and his first work "Tantra Art: Its Philosophy and Physics" was published in 1966. Mookerjee's personal collection of Tantric artifacts was among the finest ever assembled, and was the source of much of the content in his several books on the subject throughout the 70s and 80s.

Today in the West, scientists and philosophers, mystics and seekers of higher consciousness are intensively searcing for means of releasing the vital energy (Kundalini) that lies latent in each of us. Tantra, which does not deny the body, but harnesses its energies and powers for spiritual growth, is the most detailed and authoritative teaching of this kind in existence.
In Kundalini: The Arousal fo the Inner Energy, Ajit Mookerjee writes of the core-experience of Tantra, the process in which the energy is awakened and rises through the energy centers (chakras) to unite with Pure Consciousness at the crown of the head.
The sacred texts of India are an indiespensable authority in the investigation of Kundalini, and of these, the author is an important scholar. Here he looks as well at modern accounts of Kundalini-experience, Eastern and Western, and describes the findings of the clinical studies and research so far undertaken in the West.
An acknowledged expert on Eastern art, Ajit Mookerjee has been able to draw for his illustrations on an extensive range of original manuscript sources, thus illuminating and enhancing his vivid text.

Après Kâli, la force au féminin, Ajit Mookerjee poursuit son analyse des conseils donnés par les philosophes indiens et par les psychologues occidentaux afin de parvenir à l'harmonie spirituelle à travers la maîtrise des énergies physiques. Il s'appuie pour cela sur nombre de manuscrits et miniatures qui n'ont jamais été reproduits auparavant.… (mere)
