Spiritual Mantra:


John Kaldawi was inspired by the various Spiritual Mantras available that brings various intended vibrations to the human body that is packed with life energies.  Mantra (which literally mean: "instruments of thought") is a sacred utterance of words and sounds that has many spiritual powers.  The early Mantras were composed of Vedic Sanskrit language which goes back thousands of years into very early civilizations.  Mantras do not necessarily have a literal meaning, but are musically uplifting and have spiritual effects.

In Indian tradition Mantra may come from RC (verses from Rigveda), or Saman (musical chants from Samaveda), or Yajus (words from Yajurveda), or Nigada (loud spoken Yajus).  Since early ages, Mantras took the center stage in the Tantric schools of India.

Doing more research, John learned that Mantras are neither unique to Hinduism nor to any other Asian or Western traditions.  Mantra is a structured formula for thoughts, a prayer, a sacred utterance and has supernatural power and effect.

John Kaldawi also learned that one of the most popular and effect Mantra is AUM Mantra, which is also known as "pranava mantra" which is the source of all mantras.  This mantra emphasize that before and beyond existence is only One reality "Brahma" and the first manifestation of Brahma expressed as AUM.  That's why it is believed that AUM is the mother of all mantras.

Mooladhara Chakra Mantra

John Kaldawi learned that the Sanskrit word "moola" means "root" or foundation and that is precisely what this chakra is.   Mooladhara is at the root of the chakra system and its influences are at the root of our whole existence.   Mooladhara is the first chakra and is located in the male body slightly inside the perineum, while in the female body it is located on the posterior side of the cervix.   Mooladhara is traditionally represented by a lotus flower with four deep crimson petals.   On each petal is a letter: vam, sham, sham, sam, written in gold. Doing more research, John Kaldawi learned that in tantra, mooladhara is the seat of kundalini shakti, the basis from which the possibility of higher realization arises.   This great potential is said to be lying dormant in the form of a coiled serpent.   When aroused, it makes its way upward through sushumna nadi in the spinal cord until it reaches sahasrara where the ultimate experience of enlighte...

John Kaldawi opinions about Compassion

John Kaldawi was inspired by the virtues of Compassion which is the complete flowering of true love in human beings. Love is our intrinsic quality, we are born with it, it is just a matter of being aware of it.   Awareness makes our love stronger and makes it a virtue and brings out the Compassion within us.   Doing more research, John learned that Compassion is the ability to identify and understand the emotional state of another person.   It has the element of reducing the suffering of another associated with the feeling to help.   If someone try to hurt us, instead of having negative feeling towards them, we assume instead that they had a good reason for doing what they did given their particular circumstances.

John Kaldawi Thought about The Ramayana:

John Kaldawi was inspired by Ramayana, which is an ancient Indian poem that narrates the story of prince Rama (the son of King Dasharatha) trying to rescue his wife Sita from the devil Ravana.  Rama was forced by his father to relinquish his right to the throne for 14 years and go into exile.  Ramayana depicts the duties of relationships projecting characters of the ideal father, servant, brother, wife, and the ideal king.  All the characters are the fundamentals to cultural consciousness of India. Doing more research, John learned that Ramayana teaches the goal of human life.  Rama is believed to have been the incarnation of Lord Vishnu with a mission to kill demon Ravana, who abducted his wife Sita (the daughter of Mother Earth).  Later, Rama returned to his father's land to form an ideal kingdom. John Kaldawi also learned that Ramayana is one of the most well known texts in India.  There are diverse regional versions of the Ramayana wr...
