In 1937 Gopi Krishna had what he calls his first Kundalini experience.
He states:
''Suddenly, with a roar like that of a waterful, I felt a stream of liquid light entering my brain through the spinal cord.
Entirely unprepared for such a development, I was completely taken by suprise; but regaining my self-control, keeping my mind on the point of Concentration.
The illumination grew brighter and brighter, the roaring louder, I experienced a rocking sensation and then felt myself slipping out of my body, entirely enveloped in a halo of light.
It is impossible to describe the experience accurately.
I felt the point of Consciousness that was myself growing wider surrounded by waves of light!
It grew wider and wider, spreading outward while the body, normally the immediate object of perception, appeared to have receeded into the distance until I became entirely unconscious of it.
I was now all consciousness without any outline, without any idea of corporeal appendage, without any feeling or sensation coming from the senses, immersed in a sea of light simultaneously conscious and aware at every point, spread out as it were, in all directions without any barrier or material obstruction.
I was no longer myself, or to be more accurate, no longer as I knew myself to be, a small point of awareness confined to a body, but instead was a vast circle of consciousness in which the body was but a point, bathed in light and in a state of exultation and happiness impossible to describe.''

What is Samadhi ?
In WikiAnswers.Com I have tried to answer certain questions of a deep metaphysical nature. Based on my own years of experience and research I hope other people will be able to gain a better understanding of the deeper aspects of the yoga and lifes greater mysteries.
Among the questions posed was 'What is Samadhi ?'
I offer this as my answer:
Samadhi is the Sanskrit word for Meditation.
Among the least understood words in the English language is Meditation.
True Meditation is a state of consciousness which is above the Sub-conscious and Conscious states of mind. It is a state of God-realization which is contacted almost always in the immobile trance state of Sabikalpa Samadhi or Conscious Death!
In the initial stages of God-Communion or God-realization the yogi's conscious mind becomes transmuted, by certain scientific yoga methods, into a higher, more expansive state of Super-consciousness.
In this Super-conscious state the yogi's life force has withdrawn from the body into the higher psychic centres or chakras and thereby inducing a state somewhat similar to death.
The heart is virtually imperceptable or some cases has actually stopped working and the blood circulation is induced to a semi-suspended state, but rigor mortis will not set in because always in Meditation or Samadhi there is a thin band of head around the forehead and certain energies maintained in the higher centres which stops rigor mortis setting in.
In the initial stages of Meditation, known as Sabikalpa Samadhi, this Super-conscious state is cannot be maintained except in the immobile trance state.
Later, by continous Meditation and advancement to higher spiritual levels the yogi is able to progress to the truly deep states of Meditation known as Nirvikalpa Samadhi.
Nirvikalpa Samadhi is a state of Meditation without bodily fixation and the yogi experiences his or her state of Super-consciousness in the normal waking state of consciousness - that is without the need to go into the immobile trance state.
