Spiritual initiation (Diksha)
Spiritual initiation, or Diksha, is a sacred ritual where an experienced teacher transmits spiritual energy, knowledge, or blessings to a seeker. It serves as a formal permission or doorway to a deeper spiritual path, helping the individual focus their devotion and practice. Diksha can involve rituals, mantra chanting, or personal blessings, fostering inner transformation. While the ceremony varies across traditions, its core purpose is to connect the seeker with divine guidance, awakening their spiritual awareness and facilitating growth toward higher consciousness.
