Namaste steve Not to complain but to explain from another perspective, Steve's description above is how this phenomenon is viewed by and presented by one particular group. But it's a very common phenomenon in the spiritual smorgas- borg, referred to by other names such as empowerment, transmission, shakipat, or whatever. IMO, the name doesn't matter, and the particular method of trans- mission doesn't matter. As Steve says, it's about experience. And the bottom line is that teachers in many other traditions have mastered this ability to *give* the experience of higher states of consciousness. For those who are more interested in experiencing enlightenment than in reading about it or in hearing somebody else talk about it, these techniques of transmission may have a value.

Namaste steve Sounds very nice .. but I detect a few caveats are in order. One is that Divine Intelligence (DI) isn't looking to flow just through people who have completed the official 21 day course, offered by the latest hot hindu guru or his certified representative, whose $3000 check has successfully cleared, and is in good psychological and lifestyle standing within the guru's mov't. DI flows much more freely (heck even 14 day course graduates might have it). Maybe there's some juice flowing right now in this group, but if it forgets the all pervasive nature of DI it has already sown the seeds of its corruption. Also, these sorts of phenomenon always have a big psychological or placebo effect, at least partially. Spiritual people tend to be amazingly naive about the science of this effect. Still placebos are real, they can have real added benefits - it's just that you need to distinguish what is psychological and what is truly spiritual, what is your own natural DI and what is coming from an enlightened guru -- or usually disappointments come up later.

Or you could ask yourself why in the hell do I need to give diksha without any knowledge of the implications of assuming spiritual initiation of others? Good point. Otherwise, you're just diksha-iung around. When I first glanced at that, I thought you'd written diksha-lung, so now I've got Jethro Tull running through my head. Yahoo!

Are you suggesting that there's some kind of mind-altering transcendental experience to be had or that this will provide an ideal opportunity for transcending? Question: How much does your teacher charge for the deeksha, and how much of the money will be sent back to India to your teacher's relatives? Other questions: Does it take 5-7 years to learn? Do I have to memorize any nonsense syllables? Do I need to read any books before I get shaktipated? Yahoo!

Here's a list of events if anyone wants to learn diskha from the Sai Maa group for 55 dollars or less: http://www.humanityinunity.org/HIU/Events-Programs/UpcomingSchedule/index.cfm Although the website may claim that you have to take the one-day intensive first, which would raise the price up a bit, a master teacher in NYC told me I could take just the three-hour diksha course planned for NYC soon. There's also a combined one-day intensive and diksha course in Syracuse in March for only $77. I have no interest in taking any of their diksha courses, because all the Sai Maa diskha givers claim their diksha cannot be given to oneself and cannot be given remotely. My own diksha suits me fine on both counts. I have had diksha from three different Bhagavan diksha givers and I have had diksha from one Sai Maa diksha giver and I preferred the Bhagavan diksha. I think one of the reasons is because the Bhagavan diksha givers put their hands around the crown chakra and the Sai Maa diksha givers put their hands on the forehead and another reason is that the Bhagavan diskha givers light candles and play Indian music and make you meditate for a good long time first, while the Sai Maa diksha giver gave me just the diksha due to our having limited time. So far, no one has taken me up on my offer. Candles? Are you saying that the diksha givers light parafin candles in front of Sai Ma? This must be a typo - you're supposed to burning only camphor in front of Sai Maa. Yahoo!
