Sri Bhagavan's vision for his Oneness Movement has always
focused on the dawning of a Golden Age in the year 2012. This
vision is in keeping with many other ancient predictions for an age
of enlightenment in this same timing.
Being blessed with the Divine Gift of Grace, and recognizing the
task, Bhagavan made it part of his mission to impart this energetic
gift of Grace to others so that they could pass it on energetically
through Oneness Blessing deekshas.
Through the teachings at the Oneness University in southern
India, thousands around the globe are now trained and sanctioned to
give Oneness Blessings, with more being initiated each month.
The Oneness Blessing deeksha is Divine Grace that, over time,
can bring about phenomenal transformations in everyday personal
lives and spiritual awakenings. However...
Individuals differ, thus all deeksha-givers aren't exactly the
same. So how do you choose who might be best to transfer this
gift of Grace to you through a Oneness Blessing deeksha?
These are some suggested questions to ask a person before making
your choice:
- How long ago did they attend the Level I training (formerly
called the 21 Day Process)? Generally, the longer ago the
better.*
- Have they attended the Level 2 Deepening Process
(formerly called the 10 Day Deepening)? If so, how long
ago?
- Have they conducted any deeksha events? If yes, how
many?
- About how many deekshas have they given in total? (The
more the better.)
- Are they open-hearted, and do you relate to them well?
- The Oneness University offers little instruction in Smarana
Deekshas (intent deekshas given remotely, long distance, and
hands-off over the telephone or Internet, etc.). If this is
the kind of Oneness Blessing you will be receiving, be sure to ask
what kind of additional training they've have had in transmitting
energies. The dasas acknowledge that if a deeksha-giver has
any doubts as to whether they are doing it correctly, the deekshas
will be less effective.
* The longer someone has been giving deekshas,
the better quality deekshas they can give. If someone has
given more deekshas (thousands as opposed to hundreds), this
automatically makes them a clearer and more open vessel for giving
higher quality deekshas due to the deeksha's contribution to their
own purification and spiritual growth.
Sri Bhagavan's senior guide, Ananda Giri, has said that a
deeksha-giver's state of mind does not influence the receiver in
any negative way, but stated that if the Oneness Blessing giver is
happy, and in a state of love and connection, "then the Blessing
can be much more effective."
Basically deeksha energy is deeksha
energy, but...
Ananda Giri also feels it's even more important that the
deeksha-giver be evolved spiritually himself, and be able to really
connect with, feel, and empathize with the recipient. Doing
so opens the giver to a greater flow of Grace and Presence,
therefore "the greater the blessing will be."
Even Sri Bhagavan himself has noted that your choice of a
deeksha-giver is important. He says that:
Deeksha is the phenomenon where the Divine reaches out to
man, and the person who's giving deeksha is making himself or
herself available for the Divine, and he becomes an
instrument.
...We can as a rule say that [the result] depends upon how
receptive you are, what your beliefs are, and what your
conditioning is, and the quality of the person giving the
deeksha.
...The heart plays a key role...if there's no warmth in the
heart [of the giver] the deeksha is not going to be very
effective.
...If the deeksha-giver himself or herself is enlightened,
or in a very high state of consciousness, the deekshas are in fact
very different...so the person who is giving does really
matter.
