During this Shaktipat Intensive, I felt that Gurumayi offered us an incredible gift: to experience Baba’s shakti directly. Throughout the Intensive I felt his energy in the room, in others, and in my heart.

I experienced this Shaktipat Intensive as a journey with my sister back to Ganeshpuri in my childhood during Baba’s time. It was the same energy. I felt the sweetness of the gardens at Gurudev Siddha Peeth, and the strength of Baba’s shakti. I was, and I am still, back there at Baba’s feet.

For me, the Shaktipat Intensive opened the portal to true reality, a portal of grace and tenderness. The Intensive contained so much of the Guru’s light and love, with spheres of compassion, knowledge, and dharma. The Intensive so clearly reminded me of Gurumayi’s Message for 2025: “Make your time worth your time.”

What an extraordinary Shaktipat Intensive—a divine gem! I was with Baba throughout the day! I met Baba when I was a child, so this Intensive meant a lot to me. At the end I was crying because I was grateful and felt complete.

This day with Baba rejuvenated me and gave me the firm intention to make a better use of my time. I have resolved to turn within by having a daily routine, beginning by simply bowing in front of my puja and reconnecting with my Self.

I am grateful to Baba for his incredible love.

The Shaktipat Intensive was an incredibly blessed day, filled with divine grace. The Intensive time seemed to pass so quickly, and I felt the importance of cherishing each moment. Chanting was a divine experience, and my heart was overflowing with love, devotion, and gratitude.

Since participating in the Siddha Yoga Shaktipat Intensive, my meditation has deepened. It is sublime. I am most grateful.

I participated in the Shaktipat Intensive at the Siddha Yoga Meditation Center located in the Sonoran Desert. During the final meditation period, huge, long rolls of thunder went on and on unfurling, and the skies opened, bringing a much-needed deluge of purifying rain. I was aware of this throughout my meditation while also being immersed in a deep, sweet space. The rain let up just as the meditation was ending. I think I was smiling the whole time—and I still am.

I had the good fortune of staying at a Siddha Yoga Ashram for three days prior to the Shaktipat Intensive. Participating in the Ashram Daily Schedule was a great boon in preparing me for the Shaktipat Intensive. 

My main intention going into the Intensive was to receive direct guidance for my sadhana. Since my recent retirement, my days are wide open, unlike the way they were in previous decades. 

As I participated in the Intensive, I felt my heart opening. In meditation, I experienced my mind being drawn to the highest, and throughout the day the Guru’s teachings kept moving through me. Finally, toward the end of the Intensive as I was meditating, from deep within came the words of a particular teaching, and I instantly knew how best to use my time now that I am retired. Through grace, my intention bore fruit. What a blessing!

After participating in the Shaktipat Intensive yesterday, I am stunned by the change I am experiencing within me in just one day. I feel like the Guru’s grace combed through my being and swept away all the negativities that were loose enough to go. I feel a renewed alignment with my calm awareness and am excited to be reunited with “the experience of the divine” within me.

After forty-five years as a student on the Siddha Yoga path, I remain in awe of Gurumayi’s grace. I am so grateful, and I pray to be able to participate in this Shaktipat Intensive again.

As I write this, it’s 2:30 in the morning after my first Shaktipat Intensive. I woke up an hour ago crying tears of love, joy, and gratitude. Words just seem so inadequate for an account of this incredible, wonderful day. Grace guided me seamlessly from one amazing experience to the next. It was indeed “a wise use of time,” which provided me with a profound “experience of the divine.”

I feel wholly new and determined to live each moment as an expression of thanksgiving.

I had a beautiful experience during the Shaktipat Intensive 2025. It was wonderful to feel taken care of and to be able to meditate so easily. The whole Intensive helped me go deeply into meditation. Life can sometimes be a struggle, so I found being cared for during the Intensive to be very nourishing.

I am already seeing change unfolding in my life at home. I love the title of this Intensive and have been contemplating and repeating it during my day. As I go about my day, I am guided to “experience the divine” by changing my habits and listening deeply within.

I am very grateful for this gentle, loving, and transforming “experience of the divine.”

During the Shaktipat Intensive, I was experiencing so much love within me after one of the chants that I kept looking at the photos of my Shri Gurus and repeating silently, “Baba ji, I love you. Gurumayi ji, I love you.” And I couldn’t stop repeating this as I was bathing in their love.

I am immensely grateful to be able to walk this golden path, and to receive my Shri Gurus’ teachings and most precious love!
