Gnan vidhi

Deepakbhai is the current master who gives gnan vidhi initiation. He is the third master in the lineage called Akram vignan. Akram vignan means a "path to enlightenment, that requires no effort". In this path, the Self is awakened and begins to manifest itself into the awareness of the receiver. Ultimately, or in some cases rather quickly, it will manifest as the witness state or Self-realization.

Deepakbhai stresses the following: "Gnanvidhi is not a quick fast miracle but it is a science based on correct understanding which needs more time than just the gnanvidhi session. It will be best if a seeker can spend couple of days in satsang before the gnanvidhi. To get a deeper understanding it is also important for them to attend to a 3-4 days satsang after gnanvidhi wherever possible."

You can read my initial description of my experience of the gnan vidhi initiation here. But I must say, that I have been rather fortunate in the speed with which results manifested itself in me.

Dadashri was the first master and the person through whom this path manifested itself. He got spontaneously enlightened in 1958 while he was sitting waiting on a train station. Not only did he get fully enlightened, but he received the power to give this state to others and to transfer that power to his successors.

Please visit the official gnan vidhi/akram vignan homepage here. There you can find a calendar of when and where to receive gnan vidhi (which by the way is free).

"During the Gnan Vidhi, the ‘fire of Knowledge’ destroys most of one’s karmas and one feels very light. Along with the destruction of the two lighter forms of karma, many layers of ignorance over the Soul are also broken.
After Gnan, the only karmas that remain are those whose effect, one is ordained to undergo."
