Shaktipath is One-on-one

The guru through Shaktipath initiates a person on the path of spirituality. The process requires an immense amount of energy which is transferred from the guru to the disciple and if this energy is channelised towards people who have no value for it, or to those who are bound to leave the practices in between, the energy dissipates. That is why it is said that spiritual knowledge should not be distributed in front of people who do not respect it, which can also be said for people who come with a purpose of defying or arguing about it. Today through the medium of television, people are introducing certain higher practices, which are becoming a fashion among the masses. Sir John Woodroffe, a renowned spiritualist, in the early 20th century said, “In older times, a guru initiated 10–15 disciples in his or her entire lifetime. Initiating even a single person requires an immense amount of energy and it requires an even greater amount of practices to regain that energy.”

A guru watches you for three years at least before he/she gives you Shaktipath. Need one wonder what exactly is happening through the mass initiation methods these days...

Shakti is the force of the physical world. Shivratri is the night of merger of Shiv and Shakti making a complete whole. Shiv and Shakti pertain to manifest creation and arise from the unmanifest. The journey back to the unmanifest can be carved only through their complete merger which is the ultimate purpose of yoga and Sanatan Kriya . A practical example of merger of Shiv and Shakti is the institution of marriage where the merger of male and female leads to manifestation of a new life. If there is a mismatch in this merger of male and female, or Shiv and Shakti, the marriage remains incomplete. This imbalance is evident in the progeny who will exhibit anti-social and undesirable behaviour and traits. The rishis of yesteryear explained how incompleteness sets into the child in t...
