Bliss Music Shaktipat GB – THE DOORWAY TO ENLIGHTENMENTFor a chemist, the word catalyst means a substance that rapidly brings about change, allowing transformations to occur that may not have been possible without the introduction of that catalytic agent. For a spirtual seeker, the concept of shaktipat is understood in the same way. It is a moment of pure contact with the divine that quickens the journey towards awakening and raises the state of the seeker to an entirely new level of understanding and experience.In this volume of the Essential Spiritual Training series, Mark Griffin answers four of the most salient questions a seeker can ask: What is shaktipat? Why should I be interested it? How is shaktipat given? When does shaktipat become available to me?ABOUT THE AUTHOR – MARK GRIFFINYogic Mystic and Meditation Master, Mark Griffin, the founder of Hard Light Center of Awakening, was a student of Swami Muktananda of the Siddha Yoga Lineage who, in turn, was a disciple of Swami Nityananda. Griffin, who teaches in Malibu, CA, exists in states of Nirvikalpa Samadhi and identifies meditation as the core of his teaching. He presents ancient knowledge of the various strands of Yoga dating back to the Vedas in contemporary terms, both mystical and scientific. As such, his work complements and agrees with many esoteric practices including Taoism, Tantra, Yoga, Shamanism and theoretical physics.Mark Griffin is a Westerner who was born in the ’50s in the Pacific Northwest. His childhood encompassed a usual American middle-class scenario, followed by tumultuous teen and early adult years spent in a very aggressive pursuit of higher knowledge and purpose. Mark’s studies in art and music brought him to the San Francisco Bay area where he met his Guru, Swami Muktananda, in 1976.After six years of full-time immersion in the study of meditation, Mark encountered a milestone of extreme spiritual significance-entrance into an advanced state of consciousness known as Nirvakalpa Samadhi. Very shortly thereafter, Muktananda died. Great teachers of the Kagyu tradition came to Mark’s assistance, and he received continued instruction in maturing and stabilizing his abilities in meditation from Kalu Rinpoche and Chogyam Trungpa.Mark Griffin founded the Hard Light center of Awakening in 1989, and continues to teach in Los Angeles, California.This is Volume 2 of the Essential Spiritual Training series.Volume 1: Shri Guru GitaVolume 3: Spiritual PowerVolume 4: The Bardo ThodolVolume 5: 108 Discources on Awakeninghttp://www.amazon.com/Shaktipat-Enlightenment-Essential-Spir…
