GURU AND DIKSHA (INITIATION):
Yoga should be learnt from a Guru. And this is true all the more in the case of Tantra Yoga. lt is the Guru who will recognise the class to which the aspirant belongs and prescribe suitable Sadhana.

@NandiniVenkate3

Now-a-days aspirants have the dangerous and wrong notion of imagining that they are highly qualified to adopt the highest form of yoga in the very beginning of their Sadhana. This is the reason for the early downfall of the majority of aspirants.

@Manonmanimalin1

This itself shows that he is not yet ready to take to Yoga. The real, qualified aspirant will be humble enough to approach a Guru, surrender himself to the Guru, serve the Guru and learn Yoga from the Guru.

The Guru is none other than the Supreme Divine Mother Herself, descended into the world in order to elevate the aspirants. Deify the Guru. Then only will u be really benefited. Serve him untiringly. He will of his own accord bestow the supreme blessing of Diksha upon u.
@radvind

Diksha is the giving of the Mantra by the Guru. lnitiation gives spiritual knowledge and destroys sin. As one lamp is lit at the flame of another, so the divine Sakti consisting of Mantra is communicated from Guru to the disciple.

@MANGALADR1

The disciple fasts, observes Brahmacharya and gets the Mantra from the Guru.
lnitiation tears the veil of mystery and enables the disciple to grasp the hidden truth behind scriptural truths. These are generally veiled in mystic language.

@ViratVatsal87

You cannot understand them by self-study. Self-study will only lead you to greater ignorance. The Guru only will give you, by Diksha, the right perspective in which to study the scriptures. He will flash his torch of Self-realisation on the truth which you will grasp immediately.
