Diksha

Diksha is a word from a language called Sanskrit, which is spoken in some parts of India. It means to be given spiritual guidance or initiation by a teacher or guru. Think of it like a teacher helping you learn how to do something new, but instead of learning a skill like riding a bike or playing the piano, you are learning about spirituality and how to connect with the divine.

During diksha, the guru will often give you a special symbol or mantra (a word or phrase that is repeated) to help you focus your mind and connect with the divine. This symbol or mantra is often kept secret and only shared with those who have received diksha from the same teacher.

The goal of diksha is to help you connect with your inner self and the divine, and to help you achieve spiritual growth and enlightenment. It is considered a powerful and transformative experience that can have a profound impact on the rest of your life.
