''A brief account of a number of experiments and experiences with Kundalini, called the Serpent-Fire for its seemingly tortuous movements and its triple power of creating, preserving and destroying-regenerating... there is an aura encircling all rightful experiments and experiences which can be conveyed even through the medium of print; and I [the author] venture to think that this aura not only clears the outlook of the earnest student of life, but also helps to raise his consciousness...''.

George Sydney Arundale (1878-1945) was a leading Theosophist of the early 20th century. As a boy, he had been privately tutored by C. W. Leadbeater and, in turn, became one of Krishnamurti's private tutors. At the time, he was a the principal at the Central Hindu College in Varanasi. From 1926 to 1928, he served as the General Secretary of the Theosophical Society in Australia. In 1934, he succeeded Annie Besant as the president of the Theosophical Society Adyar and served in that capacity until his death in 1945. Kundalini: An Occult Experience was first published in 1938.
