What has become known as "Kundalini yoga" in the 20th century, after a technical term particular to this tradition, is actually a synthesis of many traditions which may include haṭha yoga techniques (such as bandha, pranayama, and asana), Patañjali's kriya yoga (consisting of self-discipline, self-study, and devotion to God), tantric visualization and meditation techniques of laya yoga (known as samsketas),[5] and other techniques oriented towards the 'awakening of kundalini'.[6] Laya may refer both to techniques of yoga, and (like Raja Yoga) its effect of "absorption" of the individual into the cosmic.[7] Laya Yoga, from the Sanskrit term laya meaning "dissolution", "extinction", or "absorption", is almost always described in the context of other Yogas such as in the Yoga-Tattva-Upanishad, the Varaha Upanishad, the Goraksha Paddhati, the Amaraugha-Prabodha, and the Yoga-Shastra of Dattatreya.[8][9] The exact distinctions between traditional yoga schools is often hazy due to a long history of syncretism, hence many of our oldest sources on Kundalini come through manuals of the tantric and haṭha traditions such as the Hatha Yoga Pradipika and the Shiva Samhita. The Shiva Samhita describes the qualified yogi as practicing 'the four yogas' to achieve kundalini awakening while lesser students may resort solely to one technique or another: "Mantra Yoga and Hatha Yoga. Laya Yoga is the third. The fourth is Raja Yoga. It is free from duality."[10]

Although kundalini developed as a part of tantra side-by-side with hatha yoga through a process of syncretism, Swami Nigamananda (d. 1935) taught a form of laya yoga which he insisted was not part of Hatha yoga.

The following is a bibliography of works related to Kundalini. Thisis a first draft version and focuses primarily on works in English fromthe Indian and Tibetan traditions, although there are a few works in Sanskrit,Hindi and Tibetan as well. The status of the different areas is noted atthe titles. Status currently ranges from very incomplete to nearly comprehensive.The ultimate goal of the bibliography is to be focused and comprehensiveand it is the former property that gives any hope of allowing for the latter.As a result this bibliography focused on works of teachers and traditionswhich are primarily associated with kundalini. While many spiritual traditionsacknowledge that kundalini is essential to spiritual development, onlythose that awaken it consciously are included here. Also while kundaliniis central to tantra, a bibliography of tantra has not been attempted here.Given those caveats this work does attempt to survey both traditional sourcesand contemporary teachers of the broad family of kundalini yogas. The orderwithin topics is intended to be chronological. No hidden messages are intendedin either the grouping, ordering or inadvertent deletion of a teacher orlineage.The author grants the right to copy and distribute this file, provided 1) the text remains unmodified, including the html title, 2) the authorshipand copyright is retained and 3) you agree to update/delete this web pageon request from the author.
