I know it is silly, but I can't help but hope to randomly encounter Yogani in public.
What would I even say, besides "Thanks for the awesome practices!". Would it be rude to request shaktipat or some kind of AYP initiation? Would it even be possible to know if he were next to me in line at a store?
Just wanted to share my silly thoughts.

Yogani has stated in the lessons that: 1) He prefers to remain anonymous 2) He doesn´t give shaktipat 3) AYP doesn´t have a guru nor a need for initiation.
So it´s best to respect that. If you are looking for a shaktipat or an initiation, then you need to look somewhere else.
It’s understandable MadeMyOwnDrum that’s you’d be curious to know the man behind these practices!I imagine to some degree we all have been a bit curious at times. Yet it’s also really clean and clear that he keeps the focus on the practice of meditation. He takes the ego out- I can definitely respect that he does that. Shaktipat will happen if it’s meant to. In the meantime, keep focusing on your daily practice.Chard
