RECEIVING

THE SHAKTIPAT INITIATION

If you are ready, it is pos­si­ble to receive Shak­ti­pat Initiation:

Shak­ti­pat is the process of awak­en­ing the sleep­ing Kun­dali­ni pow­er by the grace of Guru so that the spir­i­tu­al ele­va­tion of the dis­ci­ple can hap­pen with­out any direct inter­vene of disciple’s mind and intel­lect. It’s an effort­less path which means the dis­ci­ple has to do noth­ing but just fol­low the process as a wit­ness and the spir­i­tu­al evo­lu­tion will hap­pen automatically.

When you receive Shaktipat you need to be willing to follow the guidance of Swami Ishan Tirth, which could mean for you for example:

To do reg­u­lary med­i­ta­tion
To change diet
To start doing spe­cif­ic yog­ic tech­niques
To join reg­u­lar med­i­ta­tion retreats to check the progress

 

The Grace of Shaktipat

An introduction

There is a verse in the Shve­tas­vatara Upan­ishad that describes this very clear­ly: ‘The Rishis, the sages, went into deep med­i­ta­tion
and found the Devat­ma Shak­ti, the Kun­dali­ni Pow­er inher­ent in Divine Con­scious­ness, hid­den behind Her attrib­ut­es.’
The pow­er of Pure Con­scious­ness, which this Upan­ishad gives the name of Devat­ma Shak­ti, is not dif­fer­ent from Brah­man, the
Infi­nite Exis­tence, like warmth can­not be sep­a­rat­ed from fire. Wher­ev­er there is warmth, the fire ele­ment must also be present. In the same way, wher­ev­er con­scious­ness is present, the pow­er of con­scious­ness must also be present.

Since Pure Con­scious­ness is bliss­ful in nature, when­ev­er it is express­ing
itself some­where, bliss can­not be far away.

Shak­ti’ is Divine Pow­er and ‘pat’ means to descend.
Shak­ti­pat is a method by which an individual’s Kun­dali­ni is awak­ened by the direct inter­ven­tion of a Guru who serves as an instru­ment of
his lin­eage of mas­ters. This awak­en­ing of Kun­dali­ni may hap­pen imme­di­ate­ly or grad­u­al­ly when the ener­gy sys­tem and mind of
the aspi­rant has been suf­fi­cient­ly pre­pared and puri­fied. In all our count­less lives, Shak­ti­pat has only to hap­pen once: it sets the
aspi­rant irrev­o­ca­bly on the path that cul­mi­nates in total immer­sion in the Divine Real­i­ty.
There exists a vari­ety of mech­a­nisms for con­vey­ing shak­ti­pat. These include: by glance, by word or mantra, by touch or sim­ply by inten­tion, sankalpa. An enlight­ened teacher with the capac­i­ty of grant­i­ng shak­ti­pat and guid­ing the devel­op­ment of the stu­dent is called a ‘Sid­dha’.

With the grace of a Sid­dha-mas­ter, the evo­lu­tion­ary pow­er in our­selves, the Devat­ma Shak­ti or Kun­dali­ni, which is hid­den by the accu­mu­lat­ed dirt of ages, wakes up. Only from the moment that we have received grace from such a Mas­ter, can we tru­ly start the process of free­ing our­selves from all the impu­ri­ties that impose lim­i­ta­tions upon us. Awak­en­ing the pow­er that lies dor­mant in the inner­most core of our being is called shaktipat.

Through shak­ti­pat, a dis­ci­ple receives the high­est grace of the Mas­ter.
Shak­ti­pat bestows bless­ings that thin out our con­di­tion­ings and attach­ments.
Shak­ti­pat ignites the fire
that ini­ti­ates transformation.

A process is set into motion that grad­u­al­ly makes our entire sys­tem trans­par­ent so that the Light of our True Nature is able to shine through with­out obstruc­tions. Lim­it­ed self-images dis­solve. Egoic con­trac­tions melt away. May Devat­ma Shak­ti lead you to a true
Mas­ter who is able to awak­en the Divine Ener­gy with­in you and
who can guide you along this path.
