Gurunath definitely does energy transmission for sure, I had alot of fire feeling energy in my spine which went up to the the agyna chakra/third eye location which energized a golden circle of light in my forehead during my practices. That golden circle is a hallmark of the spiritual eye of Kriya Yoga which in Kriya theory you have to penetrate or pass through for samadhi. Kriya practices after the initiation gave quicker results due to the energy, which I somewhat regret now having not taken full advantage of that.
Gurunath irl is actually a relatively small person, strangely it felt like his body was very compressed or held very tightly together. I couldn't bear to look directly at him most of the time, I also was sitting the closest to him. When he walked over I had a real urge to drop down to the ground in a prostration kinda way, I didn't actually move but the urge was very sudden and strong and the urge left just as soon as it came.
Some things I personally didn't like was the movie that was played to explain his time in the Himalayas and his samadhi, I wasn't interested in it and it ate alot of the allotted time. Another thing was that there wasn't a personalized 1 to 1 conversation with him that I could have with him, but maybe if I directly asked and really pushed for one I could've gotten it. He spent alot of time trying to just hear peoples voices for the Q&A section which was somewhat disappointing. I did have conversations with the more advanced disciple leading our split off practice group and he was pretty cool. Gurunath spent alot of time showing the whole group the advanced disciples who are designated/qualified people that can answer questions and hold satsangs when Gurunath leaves. Back then I again didn't really care about and just wanted to practice by myself but right now as I write this, I see the value in doing something like that. Gurunath travels alot and hasn't really been to Canada in quite some time (I think) so having those designated people hold gatherings is a nice way to keep community. I personally live in the countryside and was far away from the city in the first place so I never really thought of meeting up in person plus I was also 17, couldn't really drive or anything. If a person was really willing for a deeper connection to him, they could go to his ashram in Pune and stay out there and really dig in to the practice and him as a guru, or they could stay at home and practice practice practice and have the energetic initiation and go off Kriya theory books which is what I did. I think he has guided me in Kriya sometimes as the answers just come, but I don't know for sure. I did work hard in learning Kriya theory over the years myself. Overall there was good and bad on both ends. I was pretty nervous and had tight legs and was sitting for a long time so I wasn't as receptive as I should've been for him, my fault.
Kriya is an energetic daily spiritual practice that mainly focuses on the sushumna-nadi. You energetically cultivate your subtle body system to awaken chakras and reach deep meditative states. The general culmination of Kriya is awakening the spiritual eye and penetrating your consciousness through it to samadhi. Gurunath has a video called something like The True Sadhana of the Yogi which describes the same thing. Lahiri Mahasaya, the first main person to have taught the Kriya yoga practices in the 1800s to regular people also describes the same process.
In the podcasts Gurunath describes the Kalki-Maitreya, the new coming world age, and upheavals that will take place. I personally neither believe nor disbelieve what he's saying. I boil it down to if he actually is coming I should probably practice as best as I can as quickly as I can to prepare for that, if he isn't coming I should probably practice as best as I can as quickly as I can anyway because life is short. There really isn't much I can do either way besides just diligent practice and having a lifestyle that supports diligent practice.
