Harinaam Diksha: Beginning Your Journey of Devotion
The vow one should take before initiation is exclusive devotion to your Guru and Bhagwaan.
The first initiation is Harinaam Diksha, and there are no additional rules except a commitment to chant Harinaam as much as possible.
It serves as your entry into this spiritual path, similar to how a child begins their education in nursery or kindergarten.
At this stage, you gradually learn the foundational teachings. Over time, with the Guru's blessings, you may progress to the second initiation, where you receive the mantra to worship Radha and Krishna at home through altar worship.

Guidelines for the Initiation Ceremony
For the ceremony, wear sattvik clothes (no black clothes). Keep a fast until you are initiated. If you have any health-related problems, make your health a priority.
Diksha Pack
You can order a pack with all the essentials to start chanting after initiation. We will give you the pack in person on the day.
There are two separate packs available, you can choose and place an order for the one that is relevant for you.
