Christmas Contribution to World Peace from the Kind Act of a Ghaznavid Princess

It’s Christmas and whether you celebrate this time as a Christian to honor the birth of Jesus Christ or you practice Islam, Judaism, Hindu, Buddhism or you’re secular, this is a time to let peace reign.

Look to the sky, meditate on a bright radiant star or light a candle and bask in the energy of its light or flame. Then, know that the calm gold shimmering light, the warm feeling it brings you and the peaceful calmness that relaxes you are special. These converge upon you from the radiant smile, open arms, congenial demeanor and kind acceptance of a Ghaznavid princess. The power of her profoundly peaceful energy once released from her heart to her spirit can propagate across the globe to reach you. It can only be invested by God. On this Christmas day by the will of God and by the light and energy he brings to you from across the greatest oceans, over mountaintops and over the great continents to reach you from the smile of this precious princess also arrives the genesis of a cure for racial divide, contributing to our world’s peace.

In 326BC Alexander the Great met Raja Porus in battle in the Punjab. King Rai Por, said to be an early ancestor of the Janjua emperors, must have seemed intimidating to young Alexander as he and his armies arrived on elephant back to face Alexander. However, Alexander the Great, the philosopher king educated by Aristotle, perhaps the world’s greatest philosopher, was able to defeat King Rai Por. Breaking the traditions of the time, and in rare form even among today’s victorious armies, Alexander asked King Rai Por how he’d like to be treated. King Rai Por’s answer to Alexander the Great was, “As a Raja king.” Perhaps from divine wisdom instilled in such a young and most powerful king as the world had seen, Alexander restored King Rai Por to his throne establishing a vassal kingdom.

By 1001AD Sultan Mahmud, the king of Ghaznavid, had extended his empire from the Punjab Alexander the Great once conquered northerly out of India, across what is today Pakistan and covering modern Afghanistan and part of modern Iran. Sultan Mahmud was expanding his empire through multiple campaigns to convert the Hindus to Islam. His first campaign in India was against the Janjua King Jaipal. Mahmud routed Jaipal’s army with a cavalry of about half in number. When all was done, nearly 20,000 of Jaipal’s soldiers had lain dead. With the same benevolent hand as Alexander the Great, the Ghaznavid Sultan released the Janua king to rule a vassal kingdom. King Jaipal ultimately immolated himself ritualistically out of embarrassment to his people.

The world seems to be plagued more than ever with racism, ethnic violence, political divide and religious wars. The blood of our greatest philosopher kings pulses through the veins of some of the precious and beautiful people living in the very lands those kings once conquered. Still, there is unrest across great divides in those lands, in America across Africa and the world over. Racism and ethnic divide drives a great deal of violence and injustice,even today, after significant efforts of modern day philosophers and teachers like Martin Luther King, Jr. But, emanating from the brilliant, radiant and bright smile of a Ghaznavid Princess and from her kind act of acceptance and congeniality on Christmas day and facilitated by the will of God, the cure for racism, ethnic divide and a giant step toward world peace is given to us.

There is no virtue in the universe more powerful to heal than the virtue of love itself. Socrates and Plato pondered this virtue among others before Plato played the role of the educator of Aristotle whom was the educator of our philosopher king Alexander the Great. No government, captor, king, president, sultan, ruler or jailor can take control over who we love. Love is the one virtue which is a liberty that we control solely. Government can not mandate us to love anyone. However, we can use overwhelming love worldwide to heal the universe for past atrocities and incivilities which we did not personally commit but from which we often suffer the consequences.

Here is the simple cure for racism which can and will bring us at this very moment around the world closer to peace than ever.

You must find someone of another race, ethnicity, sect or religion and fall in love with that person!

I am not suggesting ending marriages and relationships that already exist. You can fall in love with someone of the same gender in the way you love your brothers and sisters, your mom and dad, aunts and uncles, etc. It is important to let down defenses, reduce the ego and become proactive by not being reactive. We can not hold ourselves back from loving someone of another skin color or religious sect because either we have been hurt or our ancestors had been hurt by people of that color or sect in the past. Once you strive toward true and unselfish love for that person, good things will happen and this love will grow beyond any conscious level of love in the world’s history. You will admire the accomplishments of this person from another race. You will feel happy by seeing their smile. You will respect them for their skills and/or try to emulate their successes. You will feel emotional about their plight and you will open doors and give them opportunities that no government or legislation can give. You will love their brothers and sisters, their mother and father and their children. You will fall to your knees, weep and pray for the success of their family and their children. And before you know it, you will start to behave like the philosopher kings that had spared the lives of those kings they conquered. It seems almost magical or mystical that God driven healing examples of benevolence and kind generosity from the early philosopher kings would set an example for a beautiful radiant Princess whose kindness and congenial nature would be shared across the globe and bring us closer to world peace.






Thank you your Majesty
