Shaktipata: How It’s Transmitted and How to Retain It

By: Pandit Rajmani Tigunait

Shaktipata, the transmission of spiritual energy, is mysterious. When it happens, we are awestruck. We become an integral part of the experience—while it is occurring the “I” as such does not exist; we are not able to experience the experience objectively. Later, much of it fades, and what remains is difficult to capture in words.

Although the dynamics of shaktipata are indecipherable, the scriptures mention some of the better-known methods and processes through which spiritual energy is transmitted from master to disciple. These include touch, gazing, thought, mantra, or contact with tangible objects such as herbs, gems, mala beads, and so on.
