In the realm of Indian spirituality, Dr. Narayan Dutt Shrimali (revered as Sadgurudev) revived the lost ancient sciences of Mantra, Tantra, and Yantra. He simplified complex rituals for the common man, asserting that spiritual awakening is not reserved for ascetics but is equally accessible to householders (Grihasthas).
At the heart of this transformation is Guru Diksha. Diksha is not merely a ritual; it is a spiritual contract and a transfer of divine energy (Shaktipat) from the Guru to the disciple. It burns past karmas, awakens dormant consciousness, and connects the disciple to the lineage of Siddhashram.
Whether you are in a remote village or a bustling city, the process to receive this divine grace has been made accessible through two distinct methods: Online (via Photo) and In-Person (Sadhana Shivir).
Before proceeding with the method, one must understand what happens during Diksha. According to Dr. Shrimali, a human being is like a dry wick. The Guru is the flame. Diksha is the process where the flame touches the wick, lighting it up instantly.
Key Benefits:
Shaktipat: Direct transmission of spiritual energy.
Karma Naash: Destruction of negative past karmas that block success.
Siddhi Prapti: Eligibility to perform specific Sadhanas (e.g., Apsara, Lakshmi, Baglamukhi).
Protection: The Guru takes charge of the disciple's spiritual and physical safety.
Sadgurudev established two valid ways to receive Diksha to ensure that geography never becomes a barrier to a seeker.
Best for: Those living abroad, unable to travel to Jodhpur, or needing urgent spiritual remedy.
In the spiritual domain, physical distance is an illusion. The Guru connects with the disciple's soul (Atma) through their photograph and details. This method relies on the principle that a photograph carries the aura and energy signature of the person.
Step-by-Step Procedure:
Preparation:
Select a specific Diksha (e.g., Guru Diksha for beginners, Lakshmi Diksha for wealth, or Shatru Daman Diksha for protection). If you are unsure, Guru Diksha is the mandatory first step.
Get a recent passport-sized Photograph of yourself.
Required Details (The "Application"): You must write the following details clearly on a piece of paper:
Full Name (as per records).
Father's Name.
Gotra (If unknown, write "Kashyap").
Date of Birth.
Current Postal Address.
Purpose of Diksha (e.g., "I want spiritual awakening" or "I am facing financial debt").
Date you wish to perform the ritual (optional, or leave it to the Gurudham).
Sending the Request:
You must send these details along with the Diksha Shulk (Fee) to the Jodhpur Gurudham.
Mode: Traditionally done via Demand Draft (DD) or Money Order in favor of "Mantra Tantra Yantra Vigyan" payable at Jodhpur. Nowadays, bank transfer options may be available; one should contact the Jodhpur office (details below) to confirm.
The Ritual (At Home):
Once the Gurudham receives your request, the auspicious time is determined.
The Guru (or designated successor) performs the Shaktipat on your photograph at the specific auspicious moment.
You will receive a Diksha Packet by post. This packet contains the consecrated Rosary (Mala), Yantra, and specific instructions.
Upon receiving the packet: Sit on a yellow or red mat facing East. Wear clean clothes. Place the Yantra on a wooden plank. Chant the provided Mantra with the Mala. This completes the integration of the energy.
Best for: Those seeking direct interaction, intense energy experience, and guidance.
This method involves physically going to a Sadhana Shivir (Meditation Camp) or the Jodhpur Gurudham to receive Diksha directly in front of the Guru.
Step-by-Step Procedure:
Check the Schedule:
Every month, Sadhana Shivirs are organized in different cities across India (Delhi, Mumbai, Haridwar, Rishikesh, etc.) or at the main Jodhpur Ashram.
Dates are usually aligned with auspicious cosmic events: Navratri, Guru Purnima, Holi, Diwali, or Shravan Month.
Registration:
It is advised to book your spot in advance as Shivirs have limited seating.
Carry your ID proof and a passport-sized photo.
The Shivir Experience:
Day 1: Arrival and accommodation (usually arranged by the organization). Introduction to the Sadhana.
Day 2 (Diksha Day): You will stand in a queue or sit in a group. When your turn comes, you approach the Guru (currently the lineage is carried forward by Trimurti Gurudev: Nand Kishore Shrimali).
The Act: The Guru may touch your Agya Chakra (forehead) with his thumb or place his hand on your head. This physical touch acts as a high-voltage transfer of spiritual consciousness. You might feel heat, a vibration, or a sudden stillness of mind.
Instant Material:
You are handed the consecrated materials (Mala, Gutika, Yantra) instantly.
You are given the specific Mantra to chant.
To process either method, you must use the official channels.
Official Organization Name: Mantra Tantra Yantra Vigyan / Siddhashram Sadhak Parivar
Main Address (The Gurudham):
Dr. Shrimali Marg, High Court Colony, Jodhpur - 342001 (Rajasthan), INDIA.
Phone Contact: +91-291-2432209 / 2433623
Website: (Search for the official Nikhil Mantra Vigyan website for the latest bank details).
Note on Photo Requirement: For online Diksha, the photo must be clear. Do not wear sunglasses or hats. The eyes should be visible, as the "shaktipat" is often directed through the eyes in the photo.
Q1: Can I take Diksha if I eat non-vegetarian food or drink alcohol? A: Ideally, a Sadhak should try to be Sattvic (pure) during the days of Sadhana. However, Dr. Shrimali was a revolutionary Guru who believed Diksha is for purification. You can take Diksha to help you gain the willpower to quit these habits. Strict celibacy and a vegetarian diet are mandatory during the specific days of Mantra chanting, not necessarily for life (though recommended for higher growth).
Q2: I cannot travel to Jodhpur. Is the "Photo Diksha" as powerful? A: Yes. In spirituality, Bhav (intention) and Connection matter more than physical proximity. Ekalavya learned from a clay statue because his devotion was absolute. The Guru's energy transcends time and space. Thousands have achieved success (Siddhi) via photo Diksha.
Q3: What is the "Guru Diksha" vs. "Sadhana Diksha"? A:
Guru Diksha: The foundational initiation. It connects you to the Guru. It is mandatory before any other Sadhana.
Sadhana Diksha: Specific to a goal (e.g., Menaka Apsara Diksha for beauty/attraction, Kuber Diksha for wealth). You must take Guru Diksha first, or you can take them together.
Q4: How do I know if the Diksha worked? A: Signs of a successful Diksha include:
A feeling of lightness or peace.
Dreams of the Guru or temples.
Sudden resolution of long-standing mental conflicts.
The Mantra chanting feels rhythmic and generates heat/energy in the body.
Q5: Who gives the Diksha now that Dr. Narayan Dutt Shrimali is no longer physically present? A: The lineage continues through his appointed successors, primarily his sons (known as Trimurti Gurudev), led by Revered Gurudev Shri Nand Kishore Shrimali. They have been empowered to grant Diksha and carry the heavy mantle of the Siddhashram tradition. The energy source remains Sadgurudev Nikhileshwaranand.
Q6: What is the fee (Dakshina) for Diksha? A: The fee is tokenistic and varies by Diksha type (e.g., Guru Diksha might be a smaller amount like ₹500-₹1100, while complex Sadhanas involving rare materials might be higher). This "Dakshina" is necessary to complete the karmic exchange; nothing in spirituality should be taken for free, or it creates a karmic debt.
Decide: Choose "Guru Diksha" if you are new.
Method: Choose "Online" (send photo/DD) or "In-Person" (Find next Shivir date).
Action: Prepare your photo, your details (Name, Gotra, Address), and the payment.
Execute: Send it to the Jodhpur address or travel there on the appointed date.
The path of the Siddhas is open to you. As Dr. Shrimali famously said, "I am ready to transfer my penance to you, provided you are ready to receive it."
