In Indian religions such as Hinduism and Buddhism or Jainism, Deeksha is the ritual of initiation into the worship of some deity by a guru (Deeksha guru) who bestows mantra(s) and takes the karma of the initiate.
Tantra use different procedures known as Tantric Deeksha.
Another type of Deeksha, into a monastic order, involves a vow of celibacy, renunciation of all personal possessions and of all worldly duties, including family ties. Deeksha has the same meaning in Jainism. Deeksha is also called Charitra or Mahanibhiskraman in Jainism
