50th Anniversary of the Siddha Yoga Ashram in Oakland. 1975–2025.

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

In 2025, the one-day Siddha Yoga Shaktipat Intensive will be held on October 11 or October 12 in participating Siddha Yoga Ashrams, meditation centers, and chanting and meditation groups. Contact the venue near you to find out when the Intensive will be held there.

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.
