Hinduism Dictionary on Deeksha
deeksha: (Sanskrit) "Initiation."
Solemn induction by which one is entered into a new realm of awareness and practice by a teacher or preceptor through the bestowing of blessings and the transmission of pranas. Denotes initial or deepened connection with the teacher and his lineage and is usually accompanied by ceremony. Initiation, revered as a moment of awakening, may be conferred by a touch, a word, a look or a thought.
Most Hindu schools, and especially Saivism, teach that only with initiation from a satguru is enlightenment attainable. Sought after by all Hindus is the diksha called shaktipata (shaktipat), "descent of grace," which, often coming unbidden, stirs and arouses the mystic kundalini force. Central Saivite dikshas include samaya, vishesha, nirvana and abhisheka.
See: grace, shaktipata, shakipat, sound.

| | | | * Guru, God and Self are Synonymous
Indian culture has always held the guru in high esteem. Having a master was not just considered a matter of pride, but it was mandatory to have a guru. Not having a master was looked down upon as being an orphan, being poor and a sign of misfortune.
The word anatha in Sanskrit means one without a master. An acharya (teacher) gives shiksha, which means knowledge; Guru gives diksha, which means heightened awareness.

An Experience of Oneness As We Go Through MidlifeLast year, a friend of mine had a rare privilege of visiting India to a place called the Oneness University. They were invited to stay in silence and he was there for 21 days. The easiest thing he could say about that whole experience is that it took him out of his mind. Every day, they were being showered with an energy transfer called as Deeksha (but it is now known as the Oneness Blessing).
