Siddhis are mind powers that make you superhuman. We'll be looking at some of these powers in this article: Prakamya, Ishita and Mahima. We'll also find out about the potential dangers and advantages of each.
Ishita
Siddhis allow individuals to have power-enhancing states in their consciousness. They can control all their senses as well as psychic abilities. They are also known by the Apara Siddhis. They can have both perfect and terrible powers. There are eight basic siddhis. One of these is the Anima siddhi. This allows an individual to shrink and disappear.
Anima
There are 8 principal siddhis. The Anima siddhi is the first of these. The siddhi can be used to shrink down to an atom. Another use of this siddhi is to acquire a great size. This power is believed to have been available to Hanuman. Vishnu used this power to expand his reach and cover all three realms.
Mahima
Vasita-siddhi, in the Vedic tradition is the power to long-distance hypnotic command. This ability allows the practitioner take control of the thoughts of others and can even change their appearance. This power is sometimes called the astral mind. Ancient societies knew that the human soul possesses a subtle body and that it is capable of transmuting into another form - the astral body. Modern times have made it possible.
Prakamya
Prakamya is a technique to reach yogic perfections. It involves mastering and purifying all natural and physical forces. You can fulfill any wish. 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 that allow you to see beyond the physical world. For example, the Ashta Siddhis are used for insight into the 8 qualities of Nirankar, the formless form. These qualities are in God. These abilities help you align with the process as well as the higher self. These powers should be used with caution according to the ancient adepts. They caution against using them for selfish ends or to gain too much power.
Vikramaditya
Vikramaditya was well-known to possess siddhis (or powers). One of these powers is the ability to own a jewel. A yogi, who possesses this power, can receive these powers by performing certain rituals. 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, the dead body is possessed by the predatory undead spirit, or Vetala. The yogi attempts stopping this, but her plans fail.
