In this uncertain world where anything can happen to anyone at any time it becomes important for every individual to come under the shelter of the supreme power who protects us from all atrocities. In spirituality; true worship holds importance which provides strength to the devotee to face hardships because real mantras granted by an Authorized Saint protects them from all enormity in this world of the villain called Brahm-Kaal. The true worship is backed by the shreds of evidence provided in our Holy Books which clearly state that the Tatvadarshi (Enlightened) Saint grants true mantras (salvation / moksha mantras) in three stages chanting which the souls can land back to the eternal world ‘Satlok’ which is the native place of all souls.
Initiation is a process whereby a person is granted "naam" (mantras) by a True Master / Supreme Saint. It is also called "Naam Diksha" or "Namdaan".
The terms "Initiation", "Naam", "Namdaan" and "Naam Diksha" are used interchangeably.
The main aim of human life is to get "Moksha" (salvation / liberation). Moksha can only be achieved once a soul gets initiated by a True Master. Hence, the sole aim of getting initiated is to attain Moksha.
Readers should take note that "Good Health", "Prosperity", and "Happiness / Contentment" is a by-product of this true worship. Naam should not be taken with a primary aim to achieve these by-products. The aim should be salvation.
Provided a disciple does true worship as ordained by Sant Rampal Ji and follows the rules with a primary aim of achieving salvation, good health and prosperity automatically occur. If someone takes naam with the primary aim of achieving worldly pleasures or getting rid of a misery or distress or a disease, it does not work quickly. One needs to gain knowledge and develop faith before these benefits can be obtained. However, under all circumstances, the aim of taking naam should be the liberation of this human soul or Moksha.
To be able to take initiation, one needs to follow a few rules. It is vital that these rules are followed strictly for the initiation and the worship to be successful / fruitful. Worship does not materialise and is a futile effort if a disciple breaks any of the rules. Please familiarise yourself with the rules of worship.
It is also important that a person willing to take initiation is cognizant of the knowledge imparted by Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj. Knowledge is the basis for consolidation of worship and naam. To gain the knowledge one can read a book called Gyan Ganga which can be downloaded free from the publications page. One can also listen to the spiritual discourses of Sant Rampal Ji which are available throughout this website and can also be found on YouTube.
Once a person has made up his / her mind to get initiated, the process is straightforward. You need to make contact with your nearest "Namdaan" centre where you can visit and take initiation (naam or namdaan). The contact numbers for most namdan centres can be found at the contact us page.
For people living abroad there are a handful of namdan centres in countries like USA, Canada, UK, Australia, Italy, Belgium, Nepal etc. Please visit our contact us page for more information.
For those who are living abroad and are unable to visit a namdaan centre, initiation can also be given online via a video call / skype call. Please contact us for more information about this.
Naam Mantra is given in 3 stages.
Initiation is provided by Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj via the means of a pre-recorded video.
Yes. Along with the mantras, a disciple has to also do prayer of 3 times. This has to be repeated daily.
These prayers are basically recitation of speech of Kabir Sahib and Garib Das Ji Maharaj. This is done in morning, afternoon and evening. It is explained further below.
The book "Bhaktibodh" will be given to a disciple (free of charge) during the initiation process. Disciples can also download it for free from the website. It is available for download from the publications page. It is available in various languages.
The mp3 files for these prayers are also available for free download on the website on the download page or can be listened to here.
The videos for these prayers are also available to watch on the website or on YouTube.
The purpose of reciting the first mantra is to pay the debt of 5 major deities residing in our body lotuses. The mantras are specific for those deities. Once a disciple has done this for a minimum of 4 months without breaking any rules, he or she becomes eligible for attaining the second mantra or the "Satnaam".
The process for obtaining the "Satnaam" is similar to the first mantra. It is imparted via a recorded video by Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj. One needs to visit the naamdaan centre to get it. There is a small test that is taken before the second mantra is imparted. In the test one is asked about the first mantra, its significance and the pertaining deity.
Again there is no charge for any initiation.
Yes, there are few extra rules which one has to follow after taking satnaam. These are available with the namdaan centres and will be given to the disciple during or after the first initiation. If you are not given these, then please ask the namdaan centre about it.
Yes, anyone can take initiation irrespective of their previous background as long as they are willing to follow the rules and do worship as directed by Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj.
The purpose of human life is to worship Supreme God Kabir and return to our original abode, Satlok (Sachkhand, eternal place). Anyone and everyone wanting to worship Supreme God Kabir can take naam (initiation) from Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj irrespective of their cast, creed, colour, faith or religion as God created every human equal.
Once a child starts speaking and is able to follow instructions, and has the ability to recite the mantra, they can take naam. This generally happens beyond the age of 3-4 years.
If one does not follow any rule then he or she becomes devoid of the initiation (naam). The naam gets disconnected and will not be fruitful anymore. Likewise, the worship will not be successful.
Sometimes a rule gets broken unknowingly / accidentally, which is generally forgiven by Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj but one must never break a rule knowingly.
One has to ask for forgiveness from Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj and pledge not to break any rule to take naam or initiation again. Only after one gets re-initiated, the worship starts to get successful again. A person whose naam is disconnected will not reap any benefits of worship.
Some people cast doubt whether initiation taken via a video recording will have the same effect as to when one takes it in person.
Yes, Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj says that initiation given via a pre-recorded video will have exactly the same effect as if it was given in person by Sant Rampal Ji. This is the case because it is done by the orders of Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj. All the naam daan centres in India and abroad have been opened only after Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj has given the orders to do so.
Previously Sant Rampal Ji used to give initiation in person to a group of people but as the number of aspirants increased, He ordained the naam to be given via a pre-recorded video. This was the procedure followed in the ashram too. So people need not worry taking naam via a video as the effect and the end result is exactly the same.
Important: Women and men both have the right to attain God. Women even during their monthly periods (menses) should not stop their daily worship and lighting lamp etc. Nor does one have to stop the daily worship on anyone's death or birth.

After reading this article, I realize the importance of initiation. However, I believe the rules for taking initiation should be simplified to make it easier for people to begin this spiritual journey.
Satlok Ashram
Dear reader, we appreciate your engagement with our article. The rules set for initiation are mandatory, and without following them, one will not receive the benefits of the Almighty. Upon deeper analysis, you'll find that these rules are established for the well-being of devotees. Not adhering to them could be detrimental to one's path of devotion, and complete salvation will remain elusive. We recommend that you thoroughly understand the spiritual knowledge provided by Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj and read the book "Gyan Ganga" for a more comprehensive understanding.
