Dear Sir,

I'm interested in some information on a Swamit Tirtha.  Might the
following message be appropriate for posting on the network:

-----------------------------------------

I am presently reading _Energies of Transformation: A Guide to the
Kundalini Process_ by Bonnie Greenwell.  In this book, Ms. Greenwell
refers a few times to a Swami Visnu Tirtha as an authority on Kundalini.
Anybody know anything about this Swami. Is/was he a self-proclaimed
swami --like so many in recent years-- or is he part of some authentic
lineage?  Did he have/does he have personal experience of kundalini (I
can't tell from the text)?  Does anyone concur with Ms. Greenwell's
assessment, or have any information that might bear on my questions?

With best wishes,
-phil
