The schools of yoga whose gurus perform shaktipat are as follows:
Some feel that shaktipat is related to the " Laying-on Of Hands " form of Faith Healing . Author Barbara Brennan in the book ''Hands of Light'' describes shaktipat as the actual projection of the guru's " Aura " on the disciple, whereby the disciple acquires the same mental state of the guru, hence the importance of the high spiritual level of the guru. The physiological phenomena of a rising kundalini then naturally manifests. Comparative Literature professor Paul Zweig wrote of his experience in receiving Shaktipat from Swami Muktananda , published in the anthology ''Kundalini, Evolution, and Enlightenment'' by John White, editor, (ISBN 1557783039). Current gurus that purportedly have shaktipat powers are Sadgurudev Ram Lal Siyag , Mata Amritanandamayi (the "Hugging Mother") and Sai Baba . Others who claim this power include the yogi Amrit Desai , Da Free John , Shoko Asahara and Yogiraj Gurunath Siddhanath . EXTERNAL LINKS
