Siddhis and aquiring them

[Guest guest]

Dear Jatin,

 

Nice to see you again. You are right that we all go through ups and downs in

life due to karmas, planetary positions and other influences.

 

You are also right about siddhis can help a person achieve a smooth life and the

ability to help others too.

 

1. Siddhis are like spiritual powers.

 

2. There are numerous types of siddhis.

 

3. It takes a long time to acquire them. Some can take a few hundred years,

some take a few years, months; it all depends on past life karmas and the bond

you may have with your Ishdevata or with your guruji. They are the ones who

determine when and where you will be ready for attaining siddhis. When the

right time comes, they will guide you. However for those people who already

possess poornava samskaras where they have meditated and devoted to attaining

certain siddhis, they may bring their siddhis into this life.

 

4. There are a number of ways to achieve siddhis, e.g. through prayers devoted

to your Ishdevata, get guidance from your guruji, a yogi, swami, etc. Or

through dedicated Mantra Recitation wherein you select a certain mantra that you

know, that you are familiar to, and make up your mind to perform recitation at

the same hour each day. Mantra Recitation is also known as 'Mantra Yoga' or can

be termed 'Mantra Sadhana' if the spiritual aspirant is able to focus on one

mantra for a minimum of 90 days and doing 108 rounds each day. Its suggested

that the benefits of reciting mantra before sunrise are good. Around 4.30am to

5.30am or 4am to 5am (depends on where you live) is great as its known as

Brahma Muhurta (Hour of God). Its said that this spiritual hour is the quietest

time on earth, that the heavens open and prayers are heard by god very clearly.

 

5. Rudraksha Japa malas and Personal Malas such as Siddh Akarshaya Mala, Mala

consisting of 1 to 14 mukhis, 1 to 19 mukhis or even just one bead that is

regularly worn, can help. Its essential that a Japa Mala (meditation mala)

remains a mala used for japa only. It should be used for the one and same

mantra. If you need to recite a different mantra, its best to acquire another

japa mala. For all the other bead combinations, they can be worn during mantra

performance.

 

Om Namah Shivaya

life is like a wave with lot of ups and downs. We all go thorough good and bad

phases in life due to Karma, Planetary position and various other factors. I

know there are lots of ways to have the good things. Manage and control the bad

that is bound in our lives. I heard about Siddhis that can help you to have a

smooth life and with Siddhis you can help others too.
