Home Spiritual Activities Atmarpit Diksha n Panchdiksha Atmarpit Diksha “Diksha is to be madly in love with the unseen divine and giving up the delusory attachments with the seen.” ~ Pujya Gurudevshri ~ Who is an Atmarpit? Like the flame of a lamp, always pointing upwards to the sky, striving for union with the sun, an Atmarpit is single-pointedly focused towards attaining union with the Divine. An Atmarpit is an unmarried devotee who has been initiated into life-long celibacy, and a life of sadhana and seva by Pujya Gurudevshri. What is Atmarpit Diksha? Atmarpit Diksha is a pious ceremony and a celebration of the aspirant’s inner transformation, under the auspices of Pujya Gurudevshri. The ceremony takes place on 26th September, Pujya Gurudevshri’s birthday, every year. Atmarpit Diksha is a new way of living. It represents the aspirant’s bond with the eternal and the disengagement from the temporal. What is the Atmarpit Way of Life? In the folds of the Master, the Atmarpits have chosen to dedicate their existence to spiritual pursuit, selfless service, and obeisance to the Guru. Presently, there are 116 Atmarpits. Atmarpits are progressing towards their goal of complete renunciation. They have espoused the fourth paushad pratima (fourth level of preparatory monastic practices) from eleven pratimas (stages) of shravaks (lay worshippers) on their journey to monkhood. The Atmarpits also play a pivotal role in various departments of the Mission and have been entrusted with the administration of Dharampur Ashram.
