**Dakshina
There is no greater blessing for our souls than to be in the presence of a Divine Master and the offering we make in return for the gifts that they bestow on us is called Dakshina.
The practice comes from the Vedas which teach about the disciples’ sacred duty to make offerings to the master who imparts the highest knowledge - the knowledge of the Self.
The word comes from the Sanskrit, da, meaning “offering” or “giving”; kshi, meaning “to abide” or “to dwell in”; and na, meaning “knowledge.” The Dakshina is considered a duty, or dharma, and is part of the universe's cycle of giving and receiving, balancing the energy between you and the Guru. He washes our karma and the more open-hearted and giving we are to him, the greater the karmic exchange.
There is a mistaken belief, particularly in the west, that spirituality and healing should be given for ‘free’, as we do not always understand the energy mechanism of giving and receiving or the changes that happen to us on a soul level. We have all experienced, however, that the more we give in life, whether it be love, money, service or whatever, the more we reap the rewards of happiness in our lives.
When thinking about how much Dakshina to give, rather than calculating from the place of the mind, connect with your loving, open heart and ask yourself what the Divine blessing your soul has received means to you and how best to honour it.
The decision you make is between you and the Divine.
