Can someone have awakened kundalini but not be enlightened? Can a person be
enlightened without awakened kundalini?

I've heard K described as a side effect of buddhist meditation practice in a number of places. Zen considers it makyo - a distraction from the work of realizing the true nature of the self and of life and death. Jack Kornfield writes of it as a side effect as well - not a prerequisite for deep realizations, but still, something that happens to some people. So I don't know - there are lots of perspectives on this on this list. Clearly, there are some mystical traditions that do not consider it a pre-requesite for "enlightenment". I don't know what to think about this, myself. I think that its better to just do your practices without expectation and see where they lead.
