Jesus Calls the Disciples (John 1:35-51)

Jesus Calls the Disciples (John 1:35-51)

The narrative of Jesus calling his disciples is associated with the Muladhara Chakra of the Indian tradition.

Andrew, Philip, and Simon Peter

Andrew, Philip, and Simon Peter are from the city of Bethsaida in Galilee. They are associated with the lower triangle located in the Muladhara Chakra. Andrew, Philip, and Simon Peter are associated with the three main nadis: Ida, Pingala, and Sushumna respectively originating from Muladhara Chakra.

The Indian tradition mentions two triangles in the body: one located in the Muladhara chakra and one located in the Guru chakra/Sahasrara chakra. In the Gospel a group of three persons originating from the same city is mentioned twice:

1. Andrew, Philip and Simon are from the village of Bethsaida in Galilee. (John 1:40 – 1:44 – 6:8 – 12:21) They are associated with the three main nadis (Ida, Pingala and Sushumna respectively) of the lower triangle located in the Muladhara chakra.

2. Martha, Mary and Lazarus are from the village of Bethany in Judea. They are associated with the three stages of the path of enlightenment: Charya, Kriya and Yoga of the upper triangle located in the Guru chakra.

Jesus of Nazareth, the Son of Joseph.

Jesus of Nazareth
In the narrative of the Gospel of John, the author uses puns intended on the names of people or locations to lend weight to his message. In Sanskrit naaza means loss, elimination, and reta means semen. In Indian spiritual practice, the semen is raised from the Muladhara Chakra. As it rises along the length of the medial sushumna nadi, this semen is transformed into nectar. This process is consummated in the uppermost Sahasrara Chakra located in the cranial vault. The refined semen, now transformed into nectar, fills the cranial vault. When allowed to flow back downwards, it floods the yogin’s body with its fluid of immortality.

In the narrative of the Gospel of John, Jesus, originating from Nazareth is associated with this transformation of semen into the nectar of immortality.

The Son of Joseph
In the narrative of the Gospel of John, the author uses puns intended on the names of people or locations to lend weight to his message. In Sanskrit sepha means male organ.

The symbolism of the pun intended on “Jesus of Nazareth, the Son of Joseph”
The “son of Joseph” means engendered by the male organ. And “Jesus of Nazareth, the Son of Joseph” means loss of semen engendered by the male organ.

Can Anything Good Come out of Nazareth?

These words with a negative connotation spoken by Nathanael are in reference of the pun intended on the word “Nazareth” meaning loss of semen in Sanskrit.
