Initiation
From illusion to truth,
from ignorance to knowing,
from bondage to eternal liberation.
दीक्षा क्या है?
दीक्षा शिष्य द्वारा की गई उद्घोषणा है
Diksha is a sacred declaration made by the disciple:
कि अब मैं सत्य, प्रेम, शांति और
आनंद की ओर बढ़ता हूँ।
अब मैं गुरु चरणों से जुड़ता हूँ,
गुरु वाणी को धारण करता हूँ
और अंतर्मुखी होने का संकल्प लेता हूँ।“From this moment onward, I walk toward Truth, Love, Peace, and Bliss.
I surrender myself at the feet of the Guru,
embrace the Guru’s teachings,
and commit myself to the journey within.”
The Sacred Initiation
Diksha (Initiation) is the sacred resolve of the disciple
to abide in awareness,
to dwell in joy,
and to live rooted in gratitude.
It is a declaration
to walk in harmony with all beings,
to transcend the limited self,
and to dedicate one’s life to the welfare of all creation.
When this resolve becomes steady in the heart,
by the grace of the Guru,
the eyes of wisdom open,
life finds its true direction,
and the purpose of this sacred birth is revealed.
With this, the disciple comes back to the real Self,
the real home where Shiva and Shakti reside.
Where all duality of the mind dissolves and where,
the non-dual self alone becomes the whole.
Diksha is truly a rebirth —
from illusion to truth
from ignorance to knowing
from bondage to eternal liberation.

Prerequisites for Diksha
Before applying for Diksha, please ensure that you meet the following prerequisites:
Namo Abhyasa Kriya
You must have received initiation into Namo Abhyasa Kriya and have been practising the Kriya regularly for at least 3 months.
Satsang with Gurudev
You must have attended Satsangs with Gurudev Sri Anish or watched his Satsangs on his YouTube channel for at least 6 months.
Understanding of Diksha
Diksha is a sacred and intense process. Through Diksha, Gurudev personally initiates you into a profound Shiv-Shakti Sadhana and gives you a new spiritual name. Your legal name continues to be used for all practical and official purposes.
Application Review
Submitting the Diksha application does not confirm your Diksha. Each application is reviewed by Gurudev, and the decision will be communicated to you by email.
Maha Shivratri
Gurudev offers Diksha only on the profoundly sacred occasion of Maha Shivratri — the great night of Shiva, a night of deep stillness and awakening.
Diksha at Saadho Ashram
If your application is approved, you will need to travel to Saadho Ashram, Dharamshala, Himachal Pradesh, to receive Diksha personally from Gurudev on Maha Shivratri.
