ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Shaktipata

Shaktipata is a big word that means "the giving of spiritual energy" from someone who has a lot of it to someone who wants it.

Think of it like a superhero giving their powers to a friend who wants to be like the superhero too. In this case, the superhero is a person who has a lot of spiritual energy and the friend is someone who wants more of it.

When the superhero gives their powers to their friend, it's like they are passing on their energy to the friend, making them stronger and more powerful. It's the same with shaktipata - the person with a lot of spiritual energy gives some of it to their friend, making them stronger and more connected to their own spirituality.

It's important to note that not everyone believes in shaktipata or thinks it's possible. But for those who do believe, it can be a very helpful and powerful way to deepen their spiritual practice.
