John Kaldawi Reviews -The Path of Purusha:



John Kaldawi searches what it's like to be on the path of purusha.  It is a path of vedic times and it is when someone follows the path of the Self and Consciousness.  It is following the non-material laws and principles of nature.  Material laws where everything changes and is subject to cause and effect. Nature on the other hand is when everything falls into place by the universal supreme consciousness.

John finds that a purusha is what connects everyone and everything.  It is living to reach the ultimate state of consciousness.  We live in two ultimate realities, prakrti for matter and purusha for spirit.  The world is envisioned as a combination material and non-material.  Material reality is where everything changes and is subject to cause and effect.  The non-material or the spiritual is of no change and is uncaused.

Purusha as the spirit of the universe is present everywhere, in everything and everyone.  John's research finds Purucha to be the universal principle that is eternal, indestructible and without form.  It is the source of all consciousness, one that creates oneness in all life forms, and is the dynamic of the universe.

Pranic currents and the breath

John Kaldawi learned that the pranic currents, ida, pingala and sushumna, operate alternately.  The current that is flowing at any particular time may be gauged by noting the flow of breath in the nostrils.  When the left nostril has a greater flow of air, then ida nadi is predominant.  When the flow is greater in the right nostril, then pingala is predominant.  If the flow is equal in both of the nostrils, then sushumna is predominant. Doing more research, John Kaldawi learned that when the right nostril (pingala) flows, there is more vital energy for physical work, digestion of food and so on.  The mind is extroverted and the body generates more heat.  When the left nostril (ida) is flowing, mental energy is dominant.  The mind is introverted and any kind of mental work may be undertaken. During sleep ida nadi flows.  If pingala flows at night, sleep will be restless and disturbed.  Likewise, if ida flows while taking food, the ...

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...

Animal postures, Yogasanas and Prana

John Kaldawi learned that in ancient times and through observation, the rishis understood how animals live in harmony with their environment and with their own bodies.   They understood, through experience, the efforts of a particular posture and how the hormonal secretions could be stimulated and controlled by it.   For example, by stimulating the rabbit or hare in shashankasana they could influence the flow of adrenaline responsible for the 'fight or flight' mechanism.   Through imitating animal postures, the rishis found they could maintain health and meet challenges of nature for themselves. Furthermore, John Kaldawi learned that Prana, vital energy, which corresponds to 'ki' or 'chi' in Chinese medicine, pervades the whole body, following flow patterns, called nadis, which are responsible for maintaining all individual cellular activity.   Stiffness of the body is due to blocked prana and a subsequent accumulation of toxins.   When prana begins to ...
