Well, they do have the lingo down actually...  You'll be enlightened 
and never need to do sadana anymore with enough deeksha.  Real sweet 
and earnest people, are pretty
vested and are going back for the next hit of darshan.

Seems sort of like everyone is giving `deeksha' here.   Chalanda Sai 
Ma saw Kalki giving deeksh some while ago so she thought `heck I can 
do that as a modality' and started giving it and also then teaching 
how to give `deeksha'.  There is a lot of 'energy work' here otherwise 
of the similar modality.    

The irony is that one of the first weekends that the couple who were 
back from India having learned it for thousands of dollars from Kalki, 
the local Chalanda Ma devotees gave a weekend course in how to give 
deeksha for 45 bucks to cover the cost..   In both cases it is sort of 
a laying of hands on the head energy work in form.   From either the 
Kalki people here or the Chalanda Ma people here it is nice.  Partly 
it is nice because of the powerful room of spiritual practitioners who 
will git together and be at these meetings.  It is a powerful 
meditating group here.    

As far as money, the Chalanda Sai Ma and Kalki folks here skate a fine 
line just to cover costs.  People here generally are weary (sensitive) 
of the cult thing of raising money.  Also, a lot of the money that 
used to be here just is not anymore. … Just us spiritual church mice 
remain mostly.
