What is Shaktipat Transmission / Diksha
‘Shakti’ is energy and ‘pat’ is to fall or to transfer, whereas ‘Diksha’ is initiation by Guru. So the complete meaning of ‘Shaktipat Diksha’ is ‘the initiation of disciple by Guru through divine energy transfer’.
An enlightened Guru who has become one with the universe can evoke divine energy and transfer that energy to activate kundalini.
The energy makes kundalini rise up and clears the blockages coming in its path.
There can be varying degrees of transfer based on the stage of the disciple. To receive Shaktipat, the disciple only requires intent / sankalp to receive.
The whole process is watched and controlled by Maa Shakti.
