The Right Way to Acquire Psychic Powers Yoga SiddhisLately I have been getting many requests with regard to psychic powers, their acquisition, value, purpose etc. Although I cant cover all these aspects in one article, this post will kick off the series in which I will delve into these topics. In Yoga terminology psychic powers are called Siddhis and they are addressed in detail in many books on Yoga and Tantra. A good resource for the study of these Yogic Powers is of course the Yoga Sutras threads of Sage Patanjali, where in Book 3 Vibhuti Pada Patanjali details the psychic powers and the methodology for their attainment. Swami Satchidananda has written a very nice book with commentaries on Patanjalis Yoga Sutras and I want to provide his view on Yogic Powers as they are quite in line with my views as well. The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. Satchidananda Saraswati 22 December 1914 19 August 2002, born as C. K. Ramaswamy Gounder and known as Swami Satchidananda, was an Indian religious teacher. Becoming a successful yoga teacher means becoming an expert instruction giver. Concise and precise cues allow students to float in and out of asanas. Curious about all that yoga has to offer Get off your mat and cozy up with a good yoga bookIntegral Yoga Publications. Translation Commentary By Sri Swami Satchidananda. Pages 1. 99 2. 00. Patanjali Yoga Sutra 5. By non attachment to even Psychic Powers, the seeds of bondage are destroyed and independence gained. Here are Swami Satchidanandas commentaries on this sutra and Yogic Siddhis in general. This means that all these siddhis are beautiful, but they will bind us, because siddhis are the outcome of the mind. The mind wants something. It wants to achieve this or that. What for To be proud of itself. It develops ego. It makes your I and mine bigger. Selfish desires are still there. If you are after siddhis like astral traveling, clairvoyance and clairaudience, I ask you why. You may say, Oh, I thought I could help people. I say that this is just an excuse. You want to show you can do something. You want to be proud of it. Are the siddhis bad then If so, why are they there I say they are not bad. They are beautiful they are good. When Whey they come to you. When you run after them they are bad. Thats all the difference. Let the siddhis come and beg, Hey, cant I do something for you Then they are beautiful. If you dont run after them and your dont crave them, they are not yours. They want to have you as theirs. They want to be with you and serve you. Then they are okay. Thats why, even in the Bible, you come across these powers. Everything will come to you. When When you seek the Kingdom. Seek ye first the Kingdom of Heaven everything else will be added unto you. You dont need to run after them one by one. When you become the boss, you get everything. You dont need to run after small jobs. The above is the perfect place to start when studying the topic of Psychic Powers. This understanding will ensure that you are not being distracted by the acquisition of Yogic Siddhis and that you are aiming only for the Highest only the Truth. Along the way let these powers come as they wish. When they come to you in this fashion, you will not misuse them for self aggrandization because your target is still God, which means you are passionate about egolessness. Given the above I will provide techniques for obtaining psychic powers in future articles in these series. Hopefully having understood the reasoning above you will undertake their pursuit impersonally or for scientific study. Often, yogic siddhis are byproducts of prolonged practice of certain powerful meditations and kriyas sets and there are already several such meditations detailed on this website. Of these, the two that are highly reputed for bestowing such powers are Sodarshan Chakra Kriya 3 Most Powerful Yoga Pranayamas Kriyas and Ajana Chakra Meditation Technique 3rd Eye.
