If you are doing the program in Bidadi Ashram
During Inner Awakening level 1 program, you will receive and experience 2 powerful initiations from Swamiji, each of which can bring about transformation in a different dimension of life. This transmission of Enlightened bio-energy directly by the touch of Swamiji activates the non-mechanical parts of the brain that are responsible for higher qualities and awakens the Kundalini energy, the dormant potential energy in you. During the Initiation, you have an opportunity to ask Swamiji for blessings, healing, or boons and get your spiritual questions answered.
If you are doing the program via video conferencing
All the online participants, have an unique opportunity of getting their question (1 per participant) answered during the Akashik Readings session. Akashic Records are the Cosmic archives of everything happened, happening and will happen. Each participant can ask one question during the Akashik reading session and the answer for your question will be read from Cosmic Archives. Just watching the Akashik reading session leaves a participant spellbound and leaves you wondering about the vast nature of our Consciousness.
