“Shri Rama’s story is very interesting ... they say was written before He was born. Even before there was any inkling of it, the seer, Valmiki, wrote the whole story of Shri Rama. Shri Rama’s birth and all that are brought forth by the Agni -the fire -- and He was born in the Dynasty of the Surya -- the Sun. He was one of the mildest avatars (incarnations) you have ever had.
Shri Rama was so much loved by the people where He ruled in that state and He had the most beautiful wife of the most venerated father, Janaka, and who was the beloved son of His father. But He was such a humble man, such a humble man, that in all His character you see the beauty. In the Treta Yuga when Shri Rama came, the idea of kingship and ruler ship started, so the greatest emphasis was on the goodwill of the people. The people had to have goodwill, for the people and for the king, and for the betterment of humanity. So how to create the goodwill? First the leader has to sacrifice, and show how far he can go on sacrificing to keep the moral and the goodwill of the people.
“The desire of all the people which is the good, the righteousness, incarnates as Shri Rama and He looks after that will. ... you must have a symbol of that goodness placed onto someone. And these symbols were created to symbolize your righteousness, your sense of good, so that you can be saved yourself. At that point you have to have some absolute standards. If you have an absolute standard then you can always judge that this king is deviating from the right path, is not doing what a king should do.
A king has to be like Rama: representing your will, your goodwill, your sense of proper judgement, fair play and righteousness. If the king is not righteous then your collective goodwill will go against the king. Shri Rama not only propounded what was good but he followed that. He sacrificed for that and he established his own symbol as a pure symbol of that righteous will which is within the people, which is the collective righteous will“.

“The Awakening of the Kundalini in Sahaja Yoga takes place with the touch of Musical Notes. The notes touch the Chakras and the Kundalini gets awakened. The Kundalini reaches the Sahasrara through the Sushumna (Central Path) and through the Chakras. The the Kundalini becomes one with God. Vibrations begin to flow, Yogis go into NIRANANDA (Joyful Meditation) and the seeker begins his journey on the path of evolution.“ (Dr. Arun Apte)
