Embracing yourself as you are is the first step and the last step. You must be who you are. What you should be is not important. Whoever you are, you are unique. The Universe has made you like that. God has made you like that." - Sri Bhagavan

What is Deeksha?

Deeksha in Sanskrit means benediction. It is the transfer of Divine Energy which, over time is designed to bring about the state of Enlightenment or Oneness in the recipient. This energy has been brought to the world through Divine Grace and is being bestowed upon humanity by the twin avatars of enlightenment Sri Bhagavan and Sri Amma, who reside in the Golden City, India.

What happens during Deeksha?

Deeksha initiates a neurobiological change in the brain that when complete enables the senses to be free from the interference of the mind. When the senses are unclouded by the mind's interpretations, a natural clarity of perception occurs with accompanying spontaneous feelings of joy, inner calmness and connection to the Oneness in everything.

How is Deeksha transferred? What might I experience?

Deeksha is transferred by the deeksha giver normally placing his or her hands onto the crown of your head, usually for about 1 minute. Experiences during the deeksha vary, sometimes strong, sometimes subtle, sometimes delayed until even days later. The recipient may experience a tingling sensation in the head, or blissful energy flowing through the body, or sometimes nothing at all. Whatever the experience, the recipient can trust that the process of enlightenment has begun, a process designed by Divine Grace for your own nature that will lead gradually (or sometimes spontaneously) into your own Awakening.

Who can receive Deeksha?

Most people over 18 can receive Deeksha. The exceptions are: Pregnant women after 16 weeks and people suffering from serious psychological illness (in which case healing Deeksha may be given instead).

Who can offer Deeksha to others?

The deeksha can be transferred by anyone who has received the transmission and training during a special process in India. The deeksha giver then works, as an empty vessel, for the energy to transfer to the receiver.

Does Deeksha belong to any particular religion or belief?

Deeksha does not belong to any religion, nor any particular belief nor spiritual path. Deeksha is given each day to people all over the world, people of all races, all religions, all spiritual beliefs or no spiritual beliefs, and to people of all nationalities. It is not necessary to change one's religion, nor adopt a new guru or spiritual master to receive Deeksha - nor to offer Deeksha to others.

Why has Deeksha come at this time?

Our planet, and all of humanity, is currently undergoing a major evolutionary transformation. This is impacting our environment, our social structures, and our individual and collective consciousness. The twin avatars Sri Bhagavan and Sri Amma have been Divinely sent to help us with this transformation, offering enlightenment to the masses for the first time in thousands of years. In a very short time we will witness all of humanity shift into what is being called The Golden Age of Enlightenment.

Can all of humanity really make this shift?

Yes. According to Sri Bhagavan it is necessary for only 0.001% of the world's population to become enlightened. 64,000 people. Once this happens the collective consciousness will be so greatly affected so as to cause people the world over to also become enlightened.
