Siddha Yoga Shaktipat Intensive® 2024
in Honor of Baba Muktananda’s Mahasamadhi
A Golden Anniversary

This year marks the golden anniversary—the 50th anniversary—of the first ever Siddha Yoga Shaktipat Intensive held by Baba Muktananda in 1974.

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.

The focus of the Shaktipat Intensive 2024 is Baba’s teaching:

“The body is the temple of the Self.”

During the Intensive, you will listen to the talk Baba gave on this transformational teaching on the very first day of the first Shaktipat Intensive in 1974. You will also explore the way Baba’s teaching enhances your understanding—and experience—Gurumayi’s Message for 2024.
