Shaktipat

By Mountain Monk
Shaktipat is a Vedic Indian tradition of initiation, where a Guru intimates a disciple or seeker by empowering him / her by transmitting cosmic energy . In Shktipat Guru is just instrumental in the process of transferring energy.

Shaktipat is a Sanskrit word made of Shakti – the energy & Pat – which means fall and refers to transmission of spiritual energy from a deity to a person or persons in a group.

Saktipat can be experienced in different powers which can vary in effects one is getting. Mostly its like watching the mirror. You get the effects mostly according to the mental & physical state you are in . Persons or seekers who are soft, sattvic and easy going get the most effective shaktipat and on the contrary the person or seeker who is tamsic, difficult and arrogant gets the mild shaktipat.
Shaktipat can be experienced in India in some Ashrams with authentic Gurus.
