Siddhis can be described as powers of the mind that allow you to be superhuman. In this article, we'll take a look at some of them: Anima, Ishita, Mahima, and Prakamya. We'll also find out about the potential dangers and advantages of each.
Ishita
Siddhis can be described as power-enhancing states that enable individuals to use all their senses and psychic abilities. These are also known as Apara Siddhis and can possess both good and bad powers. There are eight basic siddhis. One of the eight primary siddhis allows for shrinkage and invisibleness.
Anima
There are eight principal siddhis. The Anima siddhi is the first of these. You can shrink to atoms with the help of this siddhi. This siddhi also allows you to attain a great size. Hanuman, for example, is said to have had this power. Vishnu was also able to use this power and expanded his reach to include all three worlds.
Mahima
Vasita (or Vasita) is a Vedic term that refers to the power of long distance hypnotic control. This ability allows the practitioner to control the thoughts of others and assume different forms. This ability is often called the astral body. 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, it has been made possible in modern times.
Prakamya
Prakamya, a technique for attaining yogic perfections, is called. It involves mastering all natural and non-material forces. It also includes the power to fulfill any wish. Some examples of this are the ability to die when one wants to, observe the pastimes of the gods, and to command other beings to do whatever they want. This power cannot be obtained if one is rid of all traces arrogance and ego.
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 inherent in God. These abilities can be used to align with God and the process. However, the ancient adepts advised us to use these powers with caution. They caution us against using these powers for selfish or excessive purposes.
Vikramaditya
Vikramaditya was famous for having siddhis, or powers. One of these powers includes the ability to possess a gem. The ability to possess a jewel is available to yogis who are able to perform certain rituals. Each version of the Vikramaditya siddhis story is different. In one version, Vikramaditya takes a corpse to a holy man to be re-interred. Another version has the corpse being possessed by Vetala, a predatory undead spirit. The yogi tries to stop this, but the yogi's plans fail.
