Kundalini Shakti (Macrocosmic Energy)


John Kaldawi learned that in the Upanishads it is said, "A man may have ears, eyes, and all facilities and parts of the body, but unless he has mahaprana there is no consciousness." 

Prana is both macrocosmic and microcosmic and is the substratum of all life.  Mahaprana (the great prana) is the cosmic, universal, all-encompassing energy out of which we draw substance through the breathing process.  The various pranas in the body, prana, aprana, samana, udana and vyana, are at once a part of this mahaprana and also separate from it.

The cosmic manifestation of prana or mahaprana in the individual body is represented by Kundalini.  The entire cosmic experience from creation to dissolution is embedded within the folds of kundalini, hence it is known as atma shakti or universal energy.  In all living beings the divine consciousness is first converted into prana or energy and, as kundalini is reservoir for the magnanimous amount of prana, it is also known as prana shakti.

Furthermore, John Kaldawi learned that the word kundalini is derived from the term 'kunda' which means a 'pit' or 'cavity'.  Kundalini is the energy inherent within the matter of mooladhara chakra, the dormant center lying in the perineum in males and in the cervix in females.  When the full potential of this energy is released it travels up through the central nervous system, in the physical body, or sushumna nadi, in the pranic body.

John Kaldawi also learned that generally, prana shakti is only partially released from mooladhara chakra through the connecting channels of ida and pingala nadis. Ida and pingala are only capable of conducting a low voltage of energy.  Only the full force of kundalini shakti can awaken all the conscious and vital functions.  Pingala nadi also channels prana shakti, but we should not confuse the two meanings of the term prana shakti.  On one level it is para (macrocosmos), in the form of kundalini shakti; on the other it is pinda (microcosmos), in the form of prana shakti, which is channeled through pingala.

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.
