He is also trained in classic Eastern methods for awareness and meditation in the USA, Italy, Sweden and India.
Giten experienced his first satori, his first glimpse of spiritual awakening, when he was 9 yearsold. This created a deep thirst and longing in his heart and being to return tothis natural and effortless experience of being one with the Whole.
In 1982, he was directed by the Divine presence in a trance session with the American trance chancellor Lin David Martin: "You have listened to your intuition, to your true inner voice, more than most. You have been searching for the contact with the Spirit for a long time and now it is beginning to manifest on the outer plane. You have been gifted many times inprevious embodiments and now everything will come rather easy for you. I wan tyou to put your energy into the lives of others, because you can."
A spiritual teacher,who has counseled thousands of people, told Giten in 1984: “You will dissolve into the silence. All the earlier enlightened Masters and all the small Deva’sa re just here to help you to get enlightened.”
