Initiation, ‘Deeksha’
This text was machine-transcribed from the printed book and may contain errors. Select the words and choose “Report a mistake”.
Truth, when it comes out of an enlightened inner space, and clicks, is ‘Initiation’ o Deeksha. It is when one wonders, “How could he convince me about such a great thing and such a wonderful thing?” When the person wonders how he got convinced, when he doesn’t know but suddenly his heart feels connected to the words which the Master is uttering, the truth which he is expressing – that connection, that click is called ‘Initiation.’
What The Avatar™ shares can break the very core of depression. This can also be called the root of the mind. All that is required is to be available, receptive and ready to let the Satya (Truth) work. Suddenly the person will see that click, the initiation happens in them.
‘Initiation’ or Deeksha does not mean chanting some special mantra or doing something special. It straight away means making one experience a solid Truth, giving them a clear inner space and confidence Truth, when it comes out of an enlightened inner space, and clicks, is ‘Initiation’ or Deeksha. It is when one wonders, “How could he convince me about such a great thing and such a wonderful thing?”
विस्फुलिङ्गा यथा क्षुद्रा ह्युच्चरन्ति हुताशनात् ।
एवं शिवस्य देवस्य शक्तयः समुदाहृताः ॥
व्याप्नुवन्ति शरीराणि साधकानां प्रयोजिताः ।
यथादित्यस्तु भूमिष्ठं रश्मिभिर्हरते मलम् ॥
एवं शक्तिसमायोगाद्दीक्षितान् हरते विभुः ।

Dīksha from Shiva as the Guru
Shaktis Exists in Disciple blessed with Dīksha
visphuliṅgā yathā kśudrā huccaranti hutāśanāt |
evaṃ śivasya devasya śaktayaḥ samudāhṛdatāḥ || 5 ||
vyāpnuvanti śarīrāṇi sādhakānāṃ prayojitāḥ |
yathādityastu bhumiṣṭham raśmibhirte-harate malam || 6 ||
evaṃ śakti samāyogād dikśitān harate vibhuḥ |
Just as the fiery and tiny sparks shoot up abundantly in all directions from the well enkindled sacrificial fire, even so the multitudes of Shaktis arise from Lord Siva. These Shaktis exist pervading the body of the sadhakas (seekers) who have been blessed with Dīksha. Just as the sun destroys through his rays the impurities accumulated in the ground, even so Lord Siva destroys the seeds of karmic effects and of other bonds of the initiated sadhakas through His perfectly maintained union with Shaktis which are His own rays.
~ Raurava Agama, Dīksha Vargah
Bhavagan Sadashiva reveals the glory of Dīksha, initiaiton in the Agama called Kularnava Tantra:
upapātaka lakśāṇi mahāpataka koṭayaḥ |
kśanāt dahati deveśi dikśā hi vidhinā kṛitā ||
The Diksha done as per the scriptural injunctions of Agamas, removes in just one moment - lakhs of minor incompletions and crores of major incompletions.
devi dīkṣa-vihinasya na siddhir na ca saḍgatihi |
tasmāt sarvaprayatnena gurunā dikṣito bhavet ||
Oh Devi. The one who has not received Deeksha does not attain perfection, completion or liberation nor a good future path. So by all intense efforts one should become a Deekshita, the initiated one by the Guru.

When the person wonders how he got convinced, when he doesn't know but suddenly his heart feels connected to the words which the Master is uttering, the truth which he is expressing - that connection, that click is called 'Initiation.'
What The Avatar™ shares can break the very core of depression. This can also be called the root of the mind. All that is required is to be available, receptive and ready to let the Satya (Truth) work. Suddenly the person will see that click, the initiation happens in them.
If Deeksha is experientially transmitted, in atleast one glimpse, then initiation has happened. Then the person is initiated. When a Master puts certain words into a person, and those words start working in them, they do not know what all is going to happen in them.
During Third Eye Awakening℠, Paramahamsa Nithyananda initiates all participants. Just one look, one word or touch of an incarnation is enough to transfer the highest frequency of Existence to the person. All the powers of Sadashiva start with the initiation from The Avatar™. All powers are a gift from the vast, infinitely compassionate space of The Avatar™ to raise all of humanity to their highest possibility of existence. Initiation is the only process by which these powers can be given to a person. Initiation, Deeksha is the way in which The Avatar™ can destroy karma of many lifetimes just by the power of His divine presence.
Experience of Initiation
“My name is Yogajnana and I am studying in Nithyananda Gurukul℠. Now it is my 4th year here and I can tell that in all my life, these 4 years are the best. They couldn’t be better.
Before joining Gurukul, I had everything I wanted. There was nothing I did not have. Anything I wanted would come to me before I even asked for it. Laptop, phone, computer, whatever I wanted, I had it. I had nothing to ask for. But one thing I was missing was fulfillment. And because I lacked fulfillment inside of me, I did not know what I wanted. It’s the worst thing - not knowing what you want or not knowing why you are feeling bad.
But after meeting Swamiji and doing my first program, Inner Awakening® for kids, I was overflowing with that fulfillment.
After the Third Eye initiation, I felt a deep rumbling, a deep shake at the bottom of my stomach. Hardly seconds after that I felt as if somewhere I connected with a 1000 volt electrical plug at base of my spine and that current shot from the base of my spine to the top of my head. That’s all I know. After that everything is vague and I don’t exactly remember. And after that, things changed. I wasn’t the person I was before. The way I spoke to people changed, the way I related with people changed. Everything changed.
It was as if Swamiji got a bulldozer and blew down my system and rebuilt it again. So after that, within a few hours, I was able to do the first part of blind-folded reading. And after that I was able to do body scanning, and then I started to see lost items. Then, I started looking at the betel leaf and finding things, looking in the mirror and finding things, showing others to the mirror etc. All this happened within less than 2 years. It is amazing.”
