Supporting the Print of the White Edition
Thank you for your interest in bringing the forthcoming second edition of Igor Vamadeva Kufayev’s KUṆḌALINĪ: The Goddess as the Power of Self-Recognition in Tantric Śaivism into the world.
The invitation that follows is addressed specifically to those whose resonance with this work, and whose present personal circumstances, allow them to rise to the position of patron, able to stand behind and bring this work into print.
Born of the heartfelt reception of the first edition, its successor—the White Edition—is a lasting volume whose form honours the refinement of the teaching it carries.
€25,000 to print and bind 2,000 copies
A Work for This Moment
How awakening is understood shapes how it is approached, experienced and integrated into life. As interest in it grows far beyond the traditions that have long preserved its knowledge, works of depth, authority and lived insight have a vital role to play.
Rooted in Tantric Śaivism and grounded in decades of lived realisation, the book KUṆḌALINĪ restores the subject to the fullness of its original vision. Uniting scriptural knowledge, subtle anatomy and direct experience, it guides readers into a complete reorientation of how to understand Consciousness, evolution, and the purpose of embodiment.
Few works hold this confluence of scholarship, sustained contemplation and the capacity to give living experience precise expression. Its contribution reaches beyond any single reader, for the understanding of individual awakening also forges the consciousness of the wider world. In this, it stands as a compass in reclaiming what it means to be a Human Being at the thresholds we are now meeting.
“Research into the original Sanskrit sources, deeply contemplated personal experience, and poetic prose: rarely are these disparate strands woven together as effectively as they are here. This book is a major contribution to the literature on Kuṇḍalinī, since it dispels many myths; correctly locates the original teachings on K within their source, that is, Tantric Shaivism; and offers an effective orientation to what is a very subtle and much misunderstood subject. Of all the books on Kuṇḍalinī that I’ve perused, it is the finest.”

Helping a Work of Wisdom Come into the World
To complete the printing and binding of 2,000 hardcover copies, we need to raise €25,000.
Producing this edition with the care it requires calls for support beyond what the first edition alone can provide. Your contribution will help meet these production costs and allow the White Edition to reach its next readers without delay.
The response to the Red Edition of the KUṆḌALINĪ book has opened a meaningful opportunity: to meet a growing readership with a volume designed to accompany them for years to come.

To become a patron is to stand quietly behind a book as it makes its way into the world, and in turn to come closer to the movements that carry this teaching forward.
Patronage begins with a contribution of €2,000. For those able to offer more substantial support, a larger gift can play a decisive role in bringing this print run into being. To discuss such contributions or a particular way of supporting the publication you can also contact us at lee@igorkufayev.org.
All Patrons will receive a personally signed copy from Igor Kufayev. For those who are able to make a contribution before 30th October 2026, they would have an opportunity for their name to be included in the book.
Your generosity helps give this teaching an enduring physical form—and places it within reach of those who may find in it an essential source of understanding.
The White Edition
A book of this depth invites return. Its passages are revisited, its connections traced, its meaning deepened in the reflection of direct experience. The White Edition has been consciously designed for that relationship.
- A more compact format brings greater comfort to holding, reading and carrying the book.
- A newly integrated index makes it easier to locate passages, trace concepts and study the material in depth.
- An embossed hardcover and hand-sewn binding, crafted at a dedicated bindery in Southern Germany, give the volume the durability that years of use require.
Here, beauty and practical purpose belong together. The care given to paper, proportions and binding honours the material while making it a dependable companion for study and contemplation.
