Suggestions on Choosing a
Oneness Deeksha-Giver

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 when making your choice:
- How long ago did they attend the Level I/Oneness Awakening 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 to no in-depth instruction in Intent Deekshas (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 had in the act of 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.
One of Sri Bhagavan's senior guides has stated that a deeksha-giver's state of mind does not influence the receiver in any negative way, but
expressed that if the Oneness Blessing giver is happy, in a state of love and connection, and has an open heart, "then the Blessing can be much
more effective."
Basically deeksha energy is deeksha energy, but...
This senior dasa 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.
