EIGHT MAJOR SIDDHIS
An accomplished, Purnayogi in the path of Kundalini Yoga is in possession of eight major
Siddhis, viz., Anima, Mahima, Laghima, Garima, Prapti, Prakamya, Vasitvam and I#vam.
1. Anima: The Yogi can become as minute as he pleases.
2. Mahima: This is the opposite of Anima. He can become as big as he likes. He can make
his body assume a very large size. He can fill up the whole universe. He can assume a Virat
Svarupa.
3. Laghima: He can make his body as light as cotton or feather. Vayustambhanam is done
through this Siddhi. In Jalastambhanam also the power is exercised to a very small degree. The
body is rendered light by Plavini Pranayama. The Yogi produces a diminution of his specific
gravity by swallowing large draughts of air. The Yogi travels in the sky with the help of this Siddhi.
He can travel thousands of miles in a minute.
4. Garima: This is the opposite of Laghima. In this the Yogi acquires an increase of specific
gravity. He can make the body as heavy as a mountain by swallowing draughts of air.
5. Prapti: The Yogi standing on the earth can touch the highest things. He can touch the sun
or the moon or the sky. Through this Siddhi the Yogi attains his desired objects and supernatural
powers. He acquires the power of predicting future events, the power of clairvoyance,
clairaudience, telepathy, thought-reading, etc. He can understand the languages of the beasts and
birds. He can understand unknown languages also. He can cure all diseases.
6. Prakamya: He can dive into the water and can come out at any time he likes. The late
Trilinga Swami of Benares used to live for six months underneath the Ganges. It is the process by
which a Yogi makes himself invisible sometimes. By some writers it is defined to be the power of
entering body of another (Parakaya Pravesh). Sri Sankara entered the body of Raja Amaruka of
Benares. Tirumular in Southern India entered the body of a shepherd. Raja Vikramaditya also did
this. It is also the power of keeping a youth-like appearance for any length of time. Raja Yayati had
this power.
7. Va#vam: This is the power of taming wild animals and bringing them under control. It
is the power of mesmerising persons by the exercise of will and of making them obedient to one’s
own wishes and orders. It is the restraint of passions and emotions. It is the power to bring men,
women and the elements under subjection.
8. I#vam: It is the attainment of divine power. The Yogi becomes the Lord of the universe.
The Yogi who has this power can restore life to the dead. Kabir, Tulsidas, Akalkot Swami and
others had this power of bringing back life to the dead.

"KUNDALINI YOGA By SRI SWAMI SIVANANDA"
It is wise to practice your psychic abilities for the good of humanity. But psychic abilities are not everything as tempting as they may be! Do not
loose your focus from your true target, God- realization.
The text above may be from a hinduistic book but these powers exist in all human beings, of all religions.
Specifically, remote viewing is the effect of opening your "third eye" meaning that the ajna chakra (ajna=wisdom) is working properly in a human
being.
There are several techiques to achieve this.
The discussion that was going on in the other forum was about remote viewing.
Best wishes,
