(ZNDA: Daytona Beach) An Assyrian man believed to have burglarized a Port Orange home in Florida fatally shot himself in a motel room during a standoff with police early Tuesday.

Jako Israel, 33, of Daytona Beach, Florida was pronounced dead at 1:19 a.m. after he shot himself one time in the chest, police said.

Israel's suicide occurred after Port Orange detectives investigating a burglary found him at the San Souci Motel at 1020 S. Ridgewood Avenue.

Port Orange police were in the process of obtaining a warrant for Israel and had learned he was staying at the motel in Room 1, police said.

With guns drawn, Daytona Beach police and a Port Orange detective surrounded the room and tried to negotiate with Israel through the open door to drop the .357-caliber handgun he held to his chest.

When told to drop the gun, Israel repeatedly threatened suicide and then fired, police said. Police found two other handguns in the room.

Spiritual leader and founder of The Art of Living, India

My dear ones on the stage and on the dais; Hon’ble Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi Ji; Deputy Prime Minister of Nepal, Kamal Thapa; and other esteemed dignitaries, I welcome you all.

You know, there are five primary things that unite us all:

1. Sports – A child begins to start playing even when it is born. Sports find universal appeal with everyone at all time and bring everyone together.
2. Artand Culture
3. Business andEconomy
4. Spirituality
5. IntellectualDebate

These five areas unite humanity everywhere in one thread. Today is such a wonderful occasion – people from so many countries have all gathered here to send out a message to the world that we all are one! We are all a One World Family. The Art of Living is more of a principle, a philosophy of living life to its fullest.

It is a movement and not really much of an organization. Its core valuesare to find peace within oneself and to unite people in our society – of different cultures, traditions, religions, and nationalities, thus reminding us all that we have one goal – to uplift human life everywhere. It is a collective effort to bring together Bhakti (devotion), Shakti (inner strength and resolve), Yukti (awakened intelligence), and Mukti (freedom) in one’s life. It is the art of uniting minds and hearts in a unique harmony.

In India, we have always dreamed of the world as one family. Today, that dream seems to be taking shape – Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam – we are all one. There should be no difference between our speech and our actions, no difference between what we are on the inside and outside, and our actions should be such that they bring peace and comfort to us and to everyone around us. This is why there is spirituality – it is to help one reflect within oneself and to realize that what lies within oneself is what is present everywhere else too. This wave of spirituality—this wa
