I removed this section. I think we should only link to recognized authorities about shaktipat. Which begs the question, who recognizes those authorities?

Modern accounts of the descent of grace
We need to extract the relevant information from a few very high profile examples of the descent of grace:
- Muktananda
- Nisargadatta Maharaj
- Bernadette Roberts
- Paramahamsa Yogananda
- Shaktipatacharya Priyananda Maharaj (is still giving shaktipat diksha in Wardha, Maharashtra,India)

Osho quote
I'm all for compact quoting, but to avoid Chinese whispers I think de-quoting or some degree of square bracket notation to indicate omitted or changed words may be in order here. (I may not be the best person to do it as I don't have the original text to compare it with.) K2709 (talk) 09:54, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
I did find this article to be helpful. I think it is worth keeping. There may be more lengthier resources on this topic, but maybe somebody will come along and expand this article at a later time.Wunhand (talk) 08:37, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

Issues
If anyone wants to take time to improve this article, here are tips:
- WP:LEAD is a summary of the article, when currently a lot of information is there that's not in the body.
- The lead makes extraordinary claims in Wikipedia's voice like undisputed facts, instead of describing it as a belief-based practice.
