Sambhava Deeksha is the primary and auxiliary initiation given to aspirants simultaneously. These auxiliary initiations are performed together to those who are given the primary initiation and separately to those who are not given the primary initiation. The nature of diksha given to those aspirants only through the auxiliary is known as vijnana-diksha. Sivagrayogin, in addition, speaks of kriya (action) and jnana (knowledge) diksha.
