Recommendations
Karpay is a key word to understand the Andean tradition in its true spiritual sense. It is normally associated with the initiation rite of passage that is usually conferred from a meeting between a master or runa paq’o and a disciple or karpaq. In this ritual act, however, an exchange of personal power is transmitted or carried out that is reciprocal. for both parties, which corresponds to the practice of the ayni principle. This supposes the transmission of a quality of mutual personal power, which, unlike other initiation or apprenticeship systems, is carried out from a horizontal base of shared power, so that the administration of power is not unilateral or vertical and rather presents a horizontal aspect. For a disciple it is important to receive a teaching as much as for a teacher it is essential to share his knowledge or wisdom, otherwise the application of ayni or balance would lack relevance.
