What is Tantra Meditation


John Kaldawi was inspired by the meaning of Tantra, which predominantly means "technique", which in Hinduism, it is associated with godness called Shaktism, then Shaivism and Vaishnavism.  The Hindu and Buddist tradition on Tantra influenced other religions like Jainism, Sikhism, Daoism, and Shinto.  The word Tantra appeared in the hymns of the Rigveda with the meaning of "weaving".  Furthermore, and in an example, Atma-Tantra also means the "Theory of Atman or soul".

Doing more research, John learned that Tantra is when action or a thing once complete becomes beneficial in several matters to one person or to many people.  Tantra is also defined as a combination of texts, techniques, rituals, monastic practices, meditation, yoga, ideologies that are freely selected based on personal preference, or master-disciple developed, or guru related.

John Kaldawi also learned that Tantra is also defined as systematic quest for salvation or spiritual excellence, by realizing and fostering the divine without one's own body, one that is simultaneous union of the masculine-feminine and spirit-matter, and has the ultimate goal of realizing the primal bliss state of non-duality.  Tantra is a great thing to get to know and discover for oneself.

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...

History of Yoga - Part 1

John Kaldawi learned that the yoga we know today was developed as a part of the tantric civilization which existed in India and all parts of the world more than ten thousand years ago Shiva is said to be the founder of yoga and Parvati, his first disciple.   Lord Shiva is widely considered to be the symbol embodiment of supreme consciousness.   Parvati represents supreme knowledge, will and action, and is responsible for all creation.   This force or energy is also known as kundalini shakti, the cosmic force which lies dormant in all beings. Doing more research, John Kaldawi learned that Parvati is regarded as the mother of the whole universe.   The individual soul is embodied and bound of name and form, and also liberated from the bondage of the world and united with supreme consciousness through her grace.   Out of love and compassion for her children, she imparted her secret knowledge of knowledge in the form of "Tantra".   The techniques of y...

John Kaldawi opinions About The Bhagavad Gita:

John Kaldawi             was inspired by Bhagavad Gita, which is a dialogue between Arjuna and Lord Krishna.   Arjuna, a worrier, was to fight a righteous war called Kurukshetra between the Pandavas against their cousins the Kauravas.   Arjuna, the prince of the Pandavas was counseled by Lord Krishna to fulfill his war duties and establish the right virtues.   It deals with the spiritual foundation of human existence, and a call of action to meet the duties of life while keeping in mind the spiritual nature of the universe. Doing more research, John learned that the Gita begins before the start of the war where Arjuna is filled with doubt on the battlefield realizing that his enemies are his own relatives, friends and teachers.   As a result, Arjuna turns to God incarnated Lord Krishna for advice as he was afraid of losing friends and relatives as a consequence of war. John Kaldawi also learned that...
