Woodroffe’s The Serpent Power—The Secrets of Tantric and Shaktic Yoga, is a source for many modern Western adaptations of Kundalini yoga practice. It is a philosophically sophisticated commentary on, and translation of, the Satcakra-nirupana (“Description of and Investigation into the Six Bodily Centres”) of Purnananda (dated c. AD 1550) and the Paduka-pancaka (“Five-fold Footstool of the Guru”). The term “Serpent Power” refers to the Kundalini, an energy said to be released within an individual by meditation techniques.
