Page "Kundalini yoga" Paragraph 26

According to some traditions Kundalini techniques are only communicated from master to disciple once the disciple is deemed ready.

In these cases, yogic masters believe that in ascetic settings ignorance or refusal to follow instructions of a master can lead to harmful effects.

However, in a few instances teachers from India encouraged students to update and spread the teachings to the West, thereby putting doubt to this claim.
