Siddha Yoga Shaktipat Intensive® 2025
in Honor of Baba Muktananda’s Mahasamadhi

A Wise Use of Time, the Experience of the Divine

The Siddha Yoga Shaktipat Intensive in Honor of Baba Muktananda’s Mahasamadhi is an occasion to honor Baba and his life and legacy.

The title of the Siddha Yoga Shaktipat Intensive 2025 is
 A Wise Use of Time, the Experience of the Divine

This title is evocative of Gurumayi’s Message for 2025: Make your time worth your time.

This Shaktipat Intensive is a rare opportunity to be with Baba, to have his darshan, to chant with Baba, and to receive teachings directly from Baba that illumine the title of the Intensive.

The Siddha Yoga Ashram in Oakland will be holding the one-day Siddha Yoga Shaktipat Intensive  on Saturday, October 11, and again on Saturday, November 15.

The Siddha Yoga Shaktipat Intensive is the primary vehicle through which Gurumayi Chidvilasananda bestows shaktipat-diksha, the initiation through which a Siddha Guru awakens the spiritual energy within a human being. This transmission of divine energy takes place throughout the day as participants chant, meditate, and receive Gurumayi’s teachings in the sacred environment of the Intensive.

This awakening marks the beginning of a profound process of transformation. By engaging in the Siddha Yoga teachings and practices after receiving shaktipat-diksha, a Siddha Yoga student learns to recognize and experience the blissful and all-pervasive Self within their own being and all of creation.

For those who have previously participated in a Shaktipat Intensive, each subsequent Intensive connects you anew with the ever-fresh, ever-blissful experience of the Self.
