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 written by various authors which differ from one another. Ramayana in any of its versions is very well worth to read.

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 also learned that Compassion is a process of connecting by identifying and feeling one with another person.   This identification with others through compassion can lead to increased motivation to do something in an effort to...

Sahasrara Chakra Mantra

John Kaldawi learned that Sahasrara Chakra is situated at the crown of the head.  It is not really a chakra but the abode of highest consciousness.  The word sahasrara means "one thousand".  Sahasrara is visualized as a shining lotus of a thousand petals, containing the fifty-two beeja mantras of the Sanskrit alphabet twenty times over.  Doing more research, John Kaldawi learned that in the center of the lotus is a shining jyotirlinga, lingam of light, symbol of pure consciousness.  It is in sahasrara that the mystical union of Shiva and Shakti takes place, the fusion of consciousness with matter and energy, the individual soul with the supreme soul.  John Kaldawi also learned that when kundalini awakens, it ascends from whence it originated.  Matter and energy merge into pure consciousness in a state of intoxicating bliss, the goal of yoga.  Having attained this, the yogi gains supreme knowledge and passes beyond birth and death. ...
