A fascinating discovery in southern India has caught the attention of celebrities, government leaders, spiritual teachers from every tradition, and millions more. It is the phenomenon called "deeksha," a powerful transfer of energy scientifically shown to alter brain states--and believed to elicit the realization of unitive consciousness. Awakening into Oneness: Deeksha and the Evolution of Consciousness tells the remarkable story of this radical new gateway to personal and global transformation. From the mystical children who first experienced deeksha nearly two decades ago to its continuing exploration at Oneness University under the guidance of esteemed teachers Sri Bhagavan and his wife Sri Amma, Arjuna Ardagh shares dozens of firsthand accounts of deeksha's life-changing effects on individuals from all over the world. "Deeksha is something few will be able to ignore in the years ahead," he writes. "It has proven to be the fastest growing spiritual development in living memory." What is it about deeksha that has ignited the hearts of so many? The answer can be found in Awakening into Oneness.
