Basically the title.

Context: Rajarshi sir, in the latest video containing his thoughts on taking money for Diksha, mentioned at the very end that he is indeed a Guru proper- something he has been explicitly denying for many years (for people who know him back from Facebook days) and on various occasions and podcasts and interviews. He said that while he personally doesn't charge money for diksha (because he takes certain harsh commitments instead; didn't elaborate but probably commitments to do Vishesh Sadhana unfailingly, volunteer in annadanam, etc. which is all fair- particularly if he's not charging money), he doesn't consider it wrong- in fact, he said that Guru charging money for diksha has proper scriptural backing. He also said that his diksha is not available "for everyone", and didn't even give any pre-requisites or any proper channel/medium to communicate the request.

Given the above, what are you guys' thoughts on taking diksha from him? Thoughts from both aspirants of diksha as well as his already-dikshit supporters are both welcome.

Special request to anyone here who has indeed been initiated by him AFTER his podcasts fame, (and humble request 🙏🏼to not lie or falsely claim that you have if you haven't): Can you please share your journey from coming to know of him after watching his podcasts and interviews to getting initiation? Just a general sense of how much chance does an ordinary guy like me- with no special connection with him as of today (as opposed to his old Facebook circle)- have to get dikshit by him, in reasonable time and with reasonable efforts?
