ON SUPER NATURAL POWERS -- SIDDHIS & OTHERS ! PART-1

ALL AVADHUTHAS WHOM WE HAVE DISCUSSED 
EARLIER HAVE USED THEIR POWERS EXCEPT
RAMAKRISHNA PARAMAHAMSA & RAMANA 
MAHARSHI. MAHIMA IN THESE TWO CASES USED
TO SHOW INDIRECTLY & NOT DIRECTLY AS IF 
THEY USED THEM !

SRI RAMAKRISHNA PARAMAHAMSA

One of his bhakthas asked SRI RAMAKRISHNA 
PARAMAHAMSA is it possible two different coloured flowers 
to grow in the same plant. He said that it is possible if GOD 
wishes so !

 Next day when Ramakrishna was passing through flower 
garden, he saw two different coloured flowers grown on the 
same plant,which he showed to the bhaktha !

WHAT OCCULT POWERS ARE LIKE

HRIDAY asked me—I was then under his control to pray 

to the Divine Mother for (occult) powers. I went to the 

temple. In a vision I saw a widow thirty or thirty five years 

old, covered with filth. 

It was revealed to me that occult powers are like that filth.
I became angry with Hriday because he had asked me to 

pray for powers.

BHAGWAN RAMANA MAHARSHI

GOD SHOWS GREATNESS OF A SAINT THROUGH
MAHIMA FOR HIS POPULARITY AMONG MASSES.
MONEY REQUIRED FOR HIS INSTITUTION ALSO
FLOWS BECAUSE OF THAT. SWAMI NITHYANANDA
HAD NO HESITATION EVEN TO DEMONSTRATE
BUNDLES OF MONEY FLOWING OUT OF HIM !

SWAMI NITHYANANDA HAS TOLD SUPER NATURAL 
POWERS USED BY AVADUTHAS ARE NOT SIDDIES

POLICE CANNOT HANDCUFF THEM, PUT THEM IN
LOCK UP OR JAIL THEM. WHATEVER MEANS THEY
HAVE WON'T STAND IN FRONT OF SAINTS WITH
SUPER NATURAL POWERS !! ONE SI MR.KHAN
TRIED IT WITH SWAMI NITHYANANDA , FAILED
MISERABLY, FELL TO HIS FEET & BECAME HIS
BHAKTHA ! TOOK THE HELP OF SWAMI TO SOLVE
HIS PROBLEMS !

SIDDIES ARE HURDLES FOR THE SPIRITUAL 
PROGRESS OF A SADAKA ! IF HE FALLS TO THE
TEMPTATION HIS SPIRITUAL PROGRESS WILL 
COME TO AN END. HE WILL NOT GET MOKSHA & 
WILL HAVE TO TAKE REBIRTH.

IN PATANJALI'S YOGA SUTRA IT IS TOLD THAT,
IF A PERSON IS SUCCESSFUL IN YOGA & 
SPIRITUALITY, THEY HAVE TO BE GIVEN PLACE
IN DEVA LOKA WHICH IS ALREADY CROWDED,
SO DEVATHA'S GIVE SIDDHIS TO YOGI'S SO THAT 
THEY ARE TEMPTED & FALL FOR IT ! PROBLEM OF 
PLACE FOR THESE PEOPLE IN DEVA LOKA IS 
AVOIDED.

In the book 'LIVING WITH HIMALAYAN MASTERS'
Swami Rama narrates one or two incidents on siddhis.

Swami Rama

1) One of the shishyas of Swami Rama's Guru not finding 
any progress spiritually, leaves him & goes to another 
guru who has acquired siddhis. In say, two years time
that shishya was able to spit fire through his mouth through
siddhi. When this news was conveyed to Swami Rama's
guru, he told why so much of trouble,that job can easily be 
done by a match stick !

2) ONE sales man in a sewing machine shop in Delhi knew
transportation siddhi, he met Swami Rama(?) in Himalaya
region. They requested that man to demonstrate his siddhi.
He chanted something & lo! one sewing machine from his
shop landed instantly. Now he chanted to transport it back
to his shop,it did not move.However much he tried he was 
not successful in transporting it back to his shop ! Now the 
man was worried as there will be a shortage of machine in 
the shop,he has to answer his boss & also he has to carry 
the machine along with him, all the way back to Delhi. 

SWAMI VIVEKANADA

He used to meet people with super natural powers & he 
used to ask ,"Have you seen GOD ?", "Can you show me 
GOD ?"
Once he & his friends went to a person having Siddhis.
Before demonstration that person opened his dhothi &
showed them that he was not hiding anything.He asked 
them what they want.They told a dish name from England.
Next moment there was that dish piping hot on a plate
with hotel emblem,napkin of that hotel.

Next they wanted to try a fruit. One of his friends had heard
name of a rare fruit from Europe. Immediately that fruit 
was present in front of them.However regarding question 
on GOD, he was not helpful to them.

ALL THE FOLLOWING AVADUTHAS / SAINTS HAVE 
USED THEIR SUPER NATURAL POWERS

SWAMY NITHYANANDA

Swamy Nithyananda, when he was in Mangalore, a dumb & 
deaf bhaktha told Swamy his wish to sit in an aeroplane,
pointing at the plane flying in the sky,through sign language. 

After about three days, news came that a plane has landed 
on the adjacent rice field being out of order. Nithyananda 
told bhaktha to go & sit in the plane,which bhaktha did to 
his satisfaction !

SAMARTHA RAMDASS OF SAJJAN GHAD

One interesting incident involving Super natural powers--

In Kashi,there was a very highly learned Pandit by name

Sadashiva Shasthri. He was full of Ego about his 

knowledge,was thinking nobody is there who is as learned 

as him.

 He wanted to go to different places, debate with other 

pundits & to defeat them.If he looses, he has decided to cut 

his tongue. 

He came to know that there is a Pundit in Shivaji's ministers 

called Gaga Bhatta,with whom he wanted to debate. He met

Shivaji Maharaj & told about his wish. Shivaji told him to 

come next day to the palace. In the mean time Gaga Bhatta 

met Sadashiva Shastri & told him he was under the mercy 

of Shivaji Maharaj & hence it is better to debate with  

Guru Samartha Ramadass. Sadashiva Shastri liked the 

idea.

Next day Shastri attended King's audience & told Shivaji 

that he wanted to debate with Guru Ramadass. Shivaji

advised him that his guru is not of debating type, he is

practical demonstrating type,hence please drop your idea.

Shastri didn't listen to Shivaji.

Then Shivaji,Gaga Bhatta and Shastri went to Guru 

Ramadass at Chaphala. All prostrated to Ramadass

except Shastri.

Guru Ramadass called one poor,low cast firewood 

seller and asked him "who are you ?" He said," I am a 

firewood seller & deliver to Rama Mandir, I am a Shudra"

Guru Ramadass called his disciple Kalyan & told him to 

draw a line in front of firewood seller using a stick. Kalyan 

did so, then Ramadass asked firewood seller to cross the 

line, step forward & asked "Who are you ?" He answered,

"I am a Vaishya now". Guru asked Kalyan to draw another 

line in front & asked"Who are you ?" He answered," I am

a Kshatriya". Same way after drawing another line, he 

became a Brahmin. Now his body was shining with an 

aura of knowledge on the face.Transformed Brahmin told

Ramadass," I am well versed in ten scriptures,with whom 

shall I debate now ?"

Guru Ramadass told him to debate with Sadashiva 

Shastri. In the debate transformed Brahmin defeated 

Sadashiva Shastri three times. When Shastri was ready 

to cut his tongue Guru Ramadass told him not to cut

and advised him not to be egoistic in future.  

Sadashiva Shastri understood his mistake & prostrated

to Guru Ramadass.

Transformed Brahmin requested Ramadass to liberate 

him.In the previous birth firewood seller was a Gandharva

by name Chitra Ratha. Due to the curse of Narada Muni

he had to take birth in this world in a low caste.Guru 

Ramadass freed him from the curse, then he went back to 

Gandharva Loka as Chithra Ratha. All people understood

the greatness of Guru Samartha Ramadass !!

SHRIDHARA SWAMY of VARADAPURA

There is a continuous water source at Varadapura created by 

SHRIDHARA SWAMY which is supposed to be a mixture of 

five rivers.People believe that water cures diseases . Free 

food is served to all bhakthas even today. 

He gained Brahma Jnana by doing service  to Samadhi of 

Samartha Ramdass Guru of Shivaji Maharaj at Sajjan Ghad ! 

THE NINE MAIN SIDDHIS

As explained by Yogi Chai­tanya Dev

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.

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 (anascetic) 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 ray’s 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,

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.

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.

Yogi Chai­tanya Dev (pseu­do­nym, nom de plume)

From the works of Sri Chai­tanya Deva, (1485–1533), 

Indian mys­tic and saint, also known as Gau­ranga 

(the Golden). Born of Brah­man par­ents in Nabad­wip, 

Ben­gal, a cen­ter of San­skrit learn­ing.  He attained 

promi­nence as a scholar at an early age, but at 22 

under­went a pro­found reli­gious con­ver­sion. Two years 

later, at age 24, he became a renun­ciant and left home 

on pil­grim­age. He even­tu­ally set­tled in Puri, Orissa, where 

he lived the rest of his life.

Chai­tanya was known for his Sid­dhis and wrought many 

mir­a­cles in his life­time. But one in par­tic­u­lar stands out. 

He had gone with his fol­low­ers to wit­ness the great char­iot 

fes­ti­val of Lord Jagan­nath in Puri. Sud­denly, the tow­er­ing

char­iot of the Lord came to a stop. Thou­sands of peo­ple 

pulled at the ropes but could not budge it. Ele­phants were 

brought, but they too failed. Finally Chai­tanya came to the 

back of the char­iot and devot­edly leaned his head against

it. The char­iot began to move! By such mir­a­cles and his 

per­sonal saint­li­ness, Chai­tanya inspired a reli­gious revival 

which con­tin­ues to this day.

There are three more pow­er­ful (in fact most pow­er­ful), those 

are as follows,

1. mano­jvitva
2. vikran­ab­hav
3. pradhanjaya

the dif­fer­ence is , “laghima” or “akaash gaman” gives to abil­ity 

to walk/fly in sky, but you have lim­its, like, u can not go to 

moon in 1 sec­ond or so„ eg. if you have to go from Delhi to 

Lon­don it will take time„„of course less but will take travel time.

but in the case of “mano­jvitva”, you can go to moon in one 

second.

Have you peo­ple seen matrix? the enemy peo­ple and their 

inser­tion in other char­ac­ters? this can be achieved by 

“vikranbhav”„„sadhak can insert him­self in peo­ple in remotely

 located place …no need to have a body like in “parakaya 

pravesh”..

The third is “prad­han­jay”, this is basi­cally the con­trol 

over the whole nature , not only “paanch mahab­hoot” 

(5 ele­ments). this is the state just before “kaivalya”, where 

you actu­ally see the God, the Divine Light..

Once the sad­hak has no inter­est in above all sid­dhis, he 

reaches kaivalya state..
