bhairav_shakti 0 Report post Posted February 25, 2009 Astama Siddhis Anima – Sadhak can make his body so light weight, that he can float in air. Mahima – Sadhak can expand his body in length & breadth. Laguma – Sadhak can shrink his body as small as possible. Garima – Sadhak can gain weight like mountain. Eshv-tatva (Isithavam) – Sadhak becomes very beautiful and attractive. Vasi-tatva (Vasuthuvam) – Sadhak gains power of attracting any one towards him. This is same as vashikaran. Prapti – Sadhak gets the power of getting anything he deserves. Prakamya (Pragamiyam) – To live in this world and get respect & devotion. To gain these Astama Siddhis one has to master Yog Vidhya, then go for acheiving these siddhis with the help of Guru/Master. In best regards, Bhairav Baba Bless all… Apne Apne mata pita ki Jai, Gurudev ki Jai, Ishta dev ki Jai, Gau mata ki jai, Sansar ka Kalyan ho... kaalbhairav/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sonic Yogi 0 Report post Posted February 25, 2009 Those siddhis are all material things. Nothing spiritual about mystic siddhis. Mystic siddhis are desired by those who want to lord it over the material energy and be false Gods in a dream world. Mystic siddhi is not a spiritual topic. They are desired by the less intelligent who are attached to the material energy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ranjeetmore 0 Report post Posted February 27, 2009 Once the Asta Siddhis came to Sri Kapila Bhagavan when He was 'doing' Bhakti (identified with the sadhana kaand of the vedas). "Who are you all ?" He asked them. "We are the 8 siddhis come to serve you." "GET LOST FROM MY SIGHT !" This is the ideal way to deal with siddhis.They SUCK. EVEN Sri Ramakrishna Paramhamsa condemned the practise for gaining siddhis(i know !) . Sri Chaitanyadev classifeied siddhis(broadly as bhukti) as witches. Sri Tulsidasa wrinkles his nose and shakes his head vigorously when the siddhis' topic comes up. Such siddhis are like waste products in front of the spritual power of Yogamaya that the bhakta has.He is as powerful as the Supreme Lord and absolutely HATES such Siddhis and Moksa.This is evident in the life and times of one of the alwars who rivalled the powers of Lord Shankara with his powers of Yogamaya.Why did he display such powers ? Just to prove a point . What was the point ? I (the alwar) don't want Mukti or any kind of siddhi from You(Uma-Mahesvara.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gHari 0 Report post Posted March 3, 2009 "Prapti – Sadhak gets the power of getting anything he deserves." I think this may be a typo, since most of us get what we 'deserve'. These siddhis can be found to be used in the service of God. The soul is more powerful than the sun, as they say. It's always about why we do things, not what we do or how we do it.
