![]() Countless people believe the Oneness Movement is a cult because of the prices they charge. Christian Opitz has never found this to be true. The devotees were told that there were problems with the term Deeksha in the Western World, that many people thought it was a cult because of this term. One of the main reasons why former high-ranking devotee Christian Opitz ended his involvement in the Oneness Movement is the changes of the term Deeksha to Oneness Blessing, and the change of the message towards prosperity and success. So, a Deeksha-giver is a person who is able to transmit enlightenment via divine grace by, for example, laying on hands over other people´s heads and “letting the energy flow.” The phenomenon is known in all spiritual traditions, though the concepts of shaktipat and deeksha is limited to Indian philosophy. The central concept in the movement is the alleged capacity for Shaktipat, bestowal of Divine power, and Deeksha, initiation or blessing, “the transfer of Divine energy.” The idea is that divinity or enlightenment can be transferred or transmitted via the touch, sight, or mental intention of a guru, mystic or saint. The movement is centered in the Oneness University near Chennai (Madras), India. The Oneness movement, or Deeksha-movement, was founded by the husband and wife “avatars” Sri Bhagavan and Sri Amma. ![]()
