Shaktipat Defined
Shakti
Shakti is the Sanskrit word for the activating
force of nature (prakriti). Shakti initiates all action. Shakti
is often translated as power, spiritual power or initiation.
Shaktipat
Shaktipat is the transmission of shakti which
initiates spontaneous meditation, kundalini awakening and spiritual
transformation. Shaktipat means shakti-giving and can also be
translated as initiation.
Shaktipat Diksha (dee'-ksha)
Shaktipat diksha means "shakti-giving initiation." Diksha
(pronounced dee'-ksha) refers specifically to initiation in the
sense of showing, informing or bestowing something upon someone.
Shaktipat diksha is often likened to lighting
one candle with another candle. This allows for the bound life
energy in the body (prana) to be released and set free. Once
this energy released, the evolutionary force, kundalini, can
awaken naturally.
Why Do I Need Shaktipat From Durga Ma?
You don't. You don't need to get shaktipat from anyone. You
may have already had shaktipat without realizing it. Shakti is
everywhere. She is Divine Energy, the activating force of nature,
nature's go-power, the animator, the primordial power that makes
things happen.
Your own shakti can be ignited through physical exercise, dance,
deep study and concentration on your art, your science or your
skill, by understanding Truth, though loving devotion to the
Divine/God, or by transmission from teacher to student.
A shaktipat teacher transmits shakti by means of any of the
following: thought, sound, touch, gaze. The benefit of taking
initiation from a shaktipat teacher, even if you have already
had shaktipat spontaneously, is to forge a relationship with
someone qualified to guide you from that point. You can either
boot-strap your own way or use a teacher qualified to initiate
and guide you.
