In the old days, because we were very few disciples, it was customary for Guru to give initiation by touching the head and heart of disciples. Although not everyone was initiated like that, the great majority of us were.

You would stand in front of him. One hand was like this, with a finger on your third eye and the other hand was on your heart chakra. The way I experienced it: I was connected to this universal dynamo, that Guru was pulling out the centuries of darkness and putting in his consciousness, his light, himself, fully into me.

To tell you the truth, this is the very first time I have been able to express this.

Initiation is the immediate expansion
Of the disciple's consciousness and
The conscious manifestation
Of the Master's compassion-height.

Sri Chinmoy 1

A kind of love not from this world
Guru saves me from my old life
I dreamt my meeting with Guru before it happened
I am your highest consciousness
Why can't I have my long hair and beard?
The Master's initiation
The boy who just loves me
'From now on, my Krishna’s consciousness is inside of you.'
Muhammad Ali: I was expecting a monster, but I found a lamb
Please postpone the surgery
Dreaming about my spiritual name
I only cared about the love that I felt from Sri Chinmoy and the love that I felt toward him: the rest was decoration
Reuniting with Muhammad Ali many years later
Tears of Joy and Gratitude
