Find answers to common questions about the path, practices and foundation
Initiation is open to seekers of all faiths, backgrounds and beliefs. No specific profession of faith is required. Anyone who sincerely wishes to grow spiritually and walk the path of self-realization under the guidance of the Master can take initiation.
During initiation, the seeker is offered a sacred Rudraksha as an emblem of the Master-disciple connection. A sacred mantra is given for regular chanting and meditation. Certain Yadnya rituals are also performed to mark the completion of the initiation process.
The Third Eye (Ajna Chakra) is a spiritual centre of perception located above the eyebrows. It is not a physical organ. Through guided meditation practices, mantra and the grace of the Master, this centre can be awakened, allowing the seeker to develop intuition, inner vision and higher awareness.
When practised under the guidance of an awakened Master and with proper discipline, Kundalini awakening is a natural and transformative process. Swami Shivanand Dadaji guides seekers safely through the practices so that the energy rises in a balanced and harmonious way.
The main meditation centre is at Pimpalner in Dhule district, Maharashtra. There are also several Darbars and centres across Maharashtra including Pune (Hadapsar & Bhivarewadi), Shrigonda, Khandala, Gevrai, Alefata, Karajgaon and many others.
You can contribute through Annadaan Seva, Yagya sponsorship, Aadya Dham support, or other forms of seva. You may also offer your time and physical service at the centres. For more details, please visit the Donation section or contact us directly.
No. The path taught by Swami Shivanand Dadaji is open to all. The focus is on direct spiritual experience, meditation, and inner transformation rather than on any particular religious identity.
After initiation, it is recommended to regularly practise the given mantra and meditation. You can also visit the nearest centre, attend programs, and stay connected with the foundation for ongoing guidance and support.
