THE NINE MAIN SIDDHIS - Eight
Additional Siddhis
PRESENTED BY: the Wanderling
1. PARKAYA PRAVESH
Parkaya Pravesh means entering one’s soul in the body of some other
person. Through this knowledge even a dead body can be brought to life.
Just about three thousand years back, Shankaracharya had to take help of
this knowledge in order to defeat Mandan Mishra in a spiritual debate.
But as time passed this knowledge became extinct in the society and
today only a very few Yogis have full practical knowledge of this unique
practice. This knowledge is considered to be so important and secret
that only a few Yogis, known to me, know of this practice and after them
this practice shall perhaps vanish from this earth.
2. HAADI VIDYA
This Vidya or knowledge has been mentioned in several ancient texts. On
acquiring this Vidya a person neither feels hungry nor thirsty and he
can remain without eating food or drinking water for several days at a
stretch. Several Yogis of the Himalayas, remain engrossed in deep
Sadhanas for months and years without eating or drinking anything. When
they do not eat or drink, they do not even have to empty their bowels.
Thus they are able to perform long penance for years and their bodies
also remain healthy and fit, even without food. Acharya Vishnu Sarang,
the famous Tantrik from Nepal and Yogi Manohar are proficient in this
Vidya. It has been reported there is a yogi that lives on the peak of
the holy mountain Arunachala that has not had anything to eat since
1990. See also Nirodha.
3. KAADI VIDYA
Just as one does not feel hungry or thirsty in Haadi Vidya similarly in
Kaadi Vidya a person is not affected by change of seasons i.e. by
summer, winter, rain etc. After accomplishing this Vidya a person shall
not feel cold even if he sits in the snow laden mountains and shall not
feel hot even if he sits in the fire. Thus a Sadhak can perform
incessant penance without being affected by change of weather or
seasons. The Jain scholar, Pragya Sun had accomplished both the Haadi
& Kaadi Vldyas. Guru Gorakhnath and Matsayendranath too had
accomplished them. Today the Jain scholar of Mahabalipuram Sun Maharaj
and Yogi Vishambhar of Badrinath are accomplished in these Vidyas and
have kept these practices alive.
4. MADALASA VIDYA
On accomplishing this Vidya, a person becomes capable of increasing or
decreasing the size of his body according to his wish. Lord Hanuman
had miniaturized his body through this Vidya while entering the city of
Lanka. The average height of a human being is six feet. Through this
Vidya a person can reduce the size of his body to the size of a mosquito
and can even enlarge his body to a size of over hundred feet. A few
years back a conference of Yogis was held on the Bhairav hill, near
Dehradun and in this conference Tailang Baba (an ascetic) demonstrated
this miraculous practice before hundreds of Yogis. This Vidya is almost
extinct today and in my opinion only Tailang Baba has accomplished it.
Anima Siddhi - The ability to decrease the size of one's body and become
smaller than the smallest particle. Through this siddhi one may enter
into stone or change the density in one's body, enabling one to pass
through solid matter. Mahima Siddhi - The ability to increase the size
of one's body, ultimately enveloping the universe.
5. VAYU GAMAN SIDDHI
Through this Siddhi a person can become capable of flying in the skies
and traveling from one place to another in just a few seconds. The Jain
scriptures speak of Jain ascetics who could fly from place to place in a
few seconds. Swami Divakarsuri and Swami Pragyasuri have been such
accomplished ascetics. Although there are several occasions of
individuals flying reported in the Sutras of classical Buddhism and Zen,
the Venerable Pindola Bharadvaja is probably the person most commonly
cited.
Swami Vishuddhanandji (d. 1937)(sometimes spelled: Vishuddhananda,
Vishudhanandaaka; aka: Gandha Baba, Perfume Saint), well-known for his
supernatural powers and said to be an adept associated with the
mysterious Gyanganj (Jnanaganj) hermitage somewhere in Tibet -- a secret
place of great masters -- demonstrated this practice in Varanasi and
proved that it is not a myth.
Today Yogi Chaitanya Swami of Madurai and Yogi Niranjan Swami living
near Kanya Kumari are the Yogis who have accomplished this practice. But
it seems that this knowledge shall perish with them. See as well the
Wanderling's Journey.
Laghima Siddhi - The ability to make one's body lighter than air and fly
at will. The perfection of this siddhi enables one to travel on the
sun's rays and enter into the sun planet.
6. KANAKDHARA SIDDHI
One can acquire immense and unlimited wealth through this Siddhi. It’s
said that once Shankaracharya saw a very poor and destitute woman and
with the help of the Kanakdhara Yantra he showered gold in her house.
This Yantra is made on a silver plate and 36 squares are formed by
drawing 7 lines each, horizontally and vertically. Then the Beej Mantra
is written in these squares. Today only a very few people have full and
authentic knowledge of this Siddhi.
7. PRAKYA SADHANA
Through this Sadhana a Yogi can direct his disciple to take birth from
the womb of a woman, who is childless or cannot bear children. Several
Yogis have thus blessed infertile women with children. Swami
Vishuddhanand had accomplished this Sadhana and had used it to bring
happiness into the lives of several women. But today only two or three
persons are accomplished in this Sadhana.
8. SURYA VIGYAN
This Solar science is one of the most significant sciences of ancient
India. This science has been known only to the Indian Yogis and using
it, one substance can be transformed into another through the medium of
sun rays.
Swami Vishudhananda had demonstrated the miracles of this science about
50-60 years ago, by transforming a paper into rose and a cotton ball
into gold.
This science has been kept alive by Divyendu Ghosh and some other Yogis,
otherwise it has become almost extinct.
9. MRIT SANJIVANI VIDYA
This Vidya was created by Adi Shankaracharya. Through it even a dead
person can be brought back to life. This practice may seem to be a myth
but it had been used by Guru Gorakhnath several times. Today only a few
persons have practical knowledge of this Vidya.
Prapti Siddhi - The ability to manifest any object one desires within
one's hand. This siddhi removes the limitations of space which
separate
two objects from each other. It is said one will even be able to touch
the moon with one's finger [i.e. the limitation of distance is removed].
Prakamya Siddhi - The ability to attain anything one desires.
Ishita Siddhi - The ability to control the sub-potencies of the laws of
nature. This enables one to control various energies and seemingly defy
the laws of nature. See White Light
Shields.
Vashita Siddhi - The ability to bring others under one's control.
Kamavasayita Siddhi - The ability to attain anything anywhere. This is
the highest of the eight and contains most of the abilities of the other
perfections.
