In August, 1977 Gopi Krishna gave a series of eight discourses to a group of spiritual seekers from Canada at his Central Institute for Kundalini Research near Srinagar, Kashmir, India. In these talks, he describes the characteristics of an enlightened person, and discusses in detail the spiritual practices that are necessary for achieving the state of Cosmic Consciousness. He also speaks on other related topics, such as karma, reincarnation, and meditation.
