Siddhis, powers of the mind, allow you to become superhuman. We'll look at four of them in this article: Prakamya. We'll also explore the potential risks and benefits associated with each.
Ishita
Siddhis are power-enhancing states of consciousness that allow the individual to control all of their senses and psychic abilities. These are also known as Apara Siddhis and can possess both good and bad powers. There are eight siddhis. One of them, the Anima Siddhi allows one to shrink in stature and become invisible.
Anima
There are 8 principal siddhis. The Anima siddhi, the first of these, is the first. Its use can allow the user to shrink to atom size. Another use of this siddhi is to acquire a great size. This power is believed to have been available to Hanuman. Vishnu also had this power, and he expanded it to all three worlds.
Mahima
Vasitasiddhi in Vedic tradition refers to the ability of long-distance, hypnotic control. This ability allows the practitioner control other people's thoughts and to assume different forms. This power is also known as the astral bodies. Ancient societies knew that the human soul possesses a subtle body and that it is capable of transmuting into another form - the astral body. However, modern times have seen it.
Prakamya
Prakamya is a technique to achieve yogic perfections. It is about mastering all natural and material forces and purifying them. It includes the ability to fulfill all wishes. It can allow one to choose to die at will, or to see the pastimes that the gods enjoy. This power can only be achieved when the practitioner removes all traces of ego and arrogance.
Vashitva
Siddhis are spiritual abilities which allow you view beyond the physical world. The Ashta Siddhis, for example, can be used to gain insight into the 8 qualities Nirankar (the formless form). These qualities are found in God. These abilities can be used to align with God and the process. However, ancient adepts cautioned us against using these abilities without a proper understanding. They warn against the temptation of using these powers to achieve selfish goals or too much power.
Vikramaditya
Vikramaditya was said to have siddhis, which are powers. One of these abilities is the ability possess a diamond. If a yogi is blessed with this power, he or she can use certain rituals to gain it. Each version of the Vikramaditya siddhis story is different. One version has Vikramaditya taking a corpse to a holy person to be re-interred. In another version of the story, Vetala the predatory undead soul takes possession of the dead body. The yogi tries stop this, but it fails.
