Šrila liva Gosvāmī explains diksā in his  Bhakti-sandarbha  (283)::
divyaṁ jñānaṁ yato dadyāt kuryāt pāpasya saṅkṣayam tasmāt dīkṣeti sā proktā deśikais tattva-kovidaih
“Dīkṣā is the process by which one can awaken his transcendental knowledge and vanquish all reactions caused by sinful activity. A person expert in the study of the revealed scriptures knows this process as dīkṣā.”  The regulative principles of  dīkṣā  are explained in the  Hari-bhakti-vilāsa  ( Vilāsa  2.3,4) and in  Bhakti-san-darbha  (283). As stated:
dvijānām anupetānāṁ svakarmādhyayanādiṣu yathādhikāro nāstiha syāc copanayanād anu tathātrādīkṣitānāṁ tu mantra-devārcanādiṣu nādhikāro ‘sty ataḥ kuryād ātmānaṁ śiva-saṁstutam
“Even though born in a  brāhmaṇa  family, one cannot engage in Vedic rituals without being initiated and having a sacred thread. Although born in a  brāhmaṇa  family, one becomes a  brāhmaṇa  after initiation and the sacred thread ceremony. Unless one is initiated as a  brāhmaṇa , he cannot worship the holy name properly.”
According to the Vaiṣṇava regulative principles, one must be initiated as a  brāhmaṇa . The  Hari-bhakti-vilāsa  (2.6) quotes the following injunction from the  Viṣṇu-yāmala :
adikşitasya vāmoru
kṛtaṁ sarvaṁ nirarthakam
paśu-yonim avāpnoti
dikṣā-virahito janaḥ
“Unless one is initiated by a bona fide spiritual master, all his devotional activities are useless. A person who is not properly initiated can descend again into the animal species.”
