Siddha Yoga Shaktipat Intensive 2026

Throughout the Shaktipat Intensive, I felt a subtle vibration pulsating in my body. With each session, the vibration increased more and more. By the third session I could barely keep my eyes open—the vibration and my impulse to fully surrender to the space within was so strong. Finally, during meditation, I surrendered more fully to this pull. I was overcome with a deep stillness and an impenetrable peace that is still with me to this day.

I am grateful to Gurumayi for her endless grace and for bestowing this most sacred of blessings upon me.

On June 19, 1982, I received shaktipat initiation. I still have the flyer announcing that Shaktipat Intensive. I remember feeling energy coursing through my spine, and I started crying.

When the Intensive was over, it was as if I had received new glasses with a better prescription; the trees looked greener, and the blue color of the sky looked more beautiful. I have participated in many Intensives since then, no matter what was happening in my life. I am truly fortunate.

The Shaktipat Intensive 2026 was a sacred experience for me. I experienced my heart becoming more receptive to the love and Consciousness of my beloved Shri Guru. As I reflected on Baba’s teachings, I contemplated my true nature.

During meditation, as I journeyed inward beyond the restlessness of the mind, I experienced a profound stillness, akin to a state of emptiness. In that moment, I touched an inner peace that transcended words.

During the namasankirtana, I experienced communion with Baba; my heart overflowed with devotional joy. With every sacred utterance of the Name, my entire being was filled with ecstatic vibrations, as though my whole existence had dissolved into a single pulse of love.

For me, this Intensive is not merely a cherished memory; it is a precious opportunity to embrace Shri Guru’s love through the stillness of meditation and the sweetness of namasankirtana.

My heart remains filled with profound gratitude.

During the Shaktipat Intensive, I found myself in an unexpected situation while offering seva, one that took me beyond what I had anticipated.

I turned my gaze toward Gurumayi’s picture on the puja altar, rested in my breath, and surrendered to what was happening. As I relaxed, a deep serenity arose within me. I felt embraced by Gurumayi’s loving gaze, and what had begun as a challenge unfolded into a moment of pure joy.

As I reflect on this experience, I recognize how my profound connection with the Guru gives me the courage to venture beyond the familiar and embrace the unknown with trust.

During the first meditation session of the Shaktipat Intensive, I experienced that my whole face, from scalp to jaws, was filled with the full energy of a brilliant light. With this energy, I felt a great vibration move throughout my entire body… and I lost myself. Completely still, I merged into this vibrant light.

How fortunate I am to have such a great Siddha Guru in my life, whose grace-bestowing power is residing in me, guiding me, uplifting me.

During the Shaktipat Intensive, as I received darshan, I truly felt Gurumayi’s living presence. When our eyes met, a light burst open inside me. I found myself bowing my head deeply. Then inwardly I heard Gurumayi laughing so joyfully. Her laughter seemed to ring in my ears and spread within me at once. Filled with bliss, I kept bowing again and again as I listened to her laughter.

After this Shaktipat Intensive 2026, everything felt a bit brighter and fresher. I felt more welcoming to colleagues and friends alike. I have also been pondering this week “the light of Consciousness.” In my reflection, I remembered a time I spent with Baba in Shree Muktananda Ashram. I was experiencing a heaviness in my mind and heart, and I was also full of petty criticisms.

But after every darshan I had with Baba, I would feel a “lightening” in my being. It was like getting touched with a shaft of divine light. After each darshan, I felt more joyful and playful, the heavy burden lifted. I finally realized that to me, this is who Baba really was—he was the light of God embodied in a human being.

At this stage in my life there are many challenges, so the logistics around my participation in the Shaktipat Intensive were complicated. At one point before the Intensive, I became quite concerned, but then I thought, “If the divine Shakti wants me to participate in the Intensive, she will help me do it.” With that thought, I relaxed—I started to feel I was flowing with a river of shakti toward the Intensive.

During the Intensive, my meditations were profoundly peaceful and filled with love. I felt I was gently rocking in the ocean of Consciousness, in the ocean of the Guru’s love.

That feeling of relaxation and peace has stayed with me as I’ve returned to the challenges of daily life. Whatever is happening, I feel embraced and supported by the divine Shakti. I am profoundly grateful to Gurumayi and to Baba for the gift of the Shaktipat Intensive.

During the opening chant and meditation of the Shaktipat Intensive, I sat in stillness for the entire session, without any need to shift position.

During meditation, I felt moved to ask the Guru, God, and the shakti for their blessing that I may experience the sahasrara. Then a golden light appeared in the region of my head, containing a triangle at its center and accompanied by a powerful frequency that filled my head and then flowed downward through my shoulders, heart, and chest to my hands.

I perceived the energy as therapeutic, releasing long-held limiting patterns such as the habit of judging. It was an experience of profound opening and liberation.

Rome, Italy

I had prepared everything for the Shaktipat Intensive. I participated in the preparation satsang, booked a cab, and inwardly attuned my being to receive the fullest blessings.

Yet the cab arrived late, there was traffic, and the driver needed to stop for fuel. When I reached the venue, a sign read: “Shaktipat Intensive in progress. Please wait outside.”

Yet a remarkable thing happened—I did not feel disturbed or agitated. In my heart I said, “I did everything right, Gurumayi. I registered, I prepared, I arranged transport, and I came with eagerness.”

Inwardly, I heard Gurumayi’s response: “’Yes, you will attend the Intensive—not in your time, but in my time.”

So, completely at peace, I sat outside and chanted. When the doors finally opened, I entered with surrender.

At the conclusion of the Intensive, I bowed before Gurumayi’s chair with a heart full of contentment.

I felt that “Feast Your Eyes Upon the Light of Consciousness” had become alive for me from the moment the day dawned.

Hosur, India

Early in the morning before the Shaktipat Intensive, I had a dream of Gurumayi. She and I were together, getting ready to offer seva in the Intensive. When I woke up, I felt Gurumayi’s presence in the room and experienced her darshan in my heart.

At the end of the day, when I came back home after the Intensive, I felt Gurumayi’s presence there, waiting for me. Once again, I received her darshan; this time I experienced it in the sahasrara, the crown of my head.

I felt as if Gurumayi were telling me, “I love you, don’t worry, I am there for you and will always be.”

My fears have disappeared, and I feel so fortunate to be loved and blessed in this way.

I wish to express my unbounded gratitude to Gurumayi for the Shaktipat Intensive 2026.

I felt I was delivered a road map for my sadhana—a map that could not be clearer and that could not be more exciting.

Camberwell, Australia

What an ecstatic Shaktipat Intensive experience I had!

I felt as if I were in a river of endless power that carried me through a current of dynamic energy, love, and ecstatic joy when I was chanting, and to deep stillness during the meditation sessions.

Now, with a heart full of gratitude, I have a year until the next Shaktipat Intensive to put into practice and assimilate all the blessings I feel I received.
