Below is an extract taken from a discourse Guru Siyag delivered in the year 1996. Here, Guru Siyag explains 'Shaktipat Diksha':
"The method of Diksha I use has been gifted to mankind by the Nath Sect in the yogic tradition. It is called 'Shaktipat'. Shaktipat does not mean the seeker receives some external force through the Guru (as is populist belief). To use siample analogy, the term Shaktipat is like using one lighted lamp to light another which is not yet lit.
You are like the unlit lamp, which has everything — the wick, oil, etc. All you need is another lighted source to light up the flame in your lamp. Once you join the lighted source, you will yourself become a lighted one. This is how I can describe the Skatipat process in a broad sense. "
Here is the process of getting Shaktipat and proctice to make further spiritual progress:
Step 1: Watch the following short video to receive Guru Siyag's Mantra Initiation. This mantra must be received in Guru Siyag's voice only. That is the reason you need to watch this video from Guru Siyag.

By listening to above video and receiving the divine mantra, you will be completing the initial process of getting the divine spark. You need to do this step only one time.
Step 2: Meditate two times a day 15-30 Minutes using the simple method listed in the link below:

Step 3: Mentally and silently chant the Mantra received in step 1 throughout the day and night as much as possible
That’s all. Isn't that easy and simple!
Now what? Here are few things that may or may not happen with you. Every ones experience is different. So if your experience is different do not panic. Continue with the practice.
During meditation, you may experience certain automatic yogic postures or movement of your limbs. Swaying, nodding of head, rapid movement of head from left-to-right or vice versa, inflating or deflating of belly, clapping, grunting, moaning or laughing can happen in many cases. Do not panic or worry. These actions, happen involuntarily, are ordained by divine force, and they are needed for your internal cleansing and readying you for further progress.
You may also experience vibrations, see bright lights, colors or even have visions or revelations of the past and future events. These are indications that you are progressing well on the spiritual path.
However, if you do not experience any yogic postures or see visions, it does not mean that you are not making progress. In all probability, the divine force awakened in you has perhaps decided that you don't need these experiences. Go to the "FAQ" section to read more on this topic
Here on... all you need to do is meditate two or more times a day as per the link provided and chant the divine mantra silently in your mind as much as possible throughout the day.
