Yoga Levitation Dictionary: Hindu - Hinduism Dictionary on Siddhi

siddhi: (Sanskrit) "Power, accomplishment; perfection."

Extraordinary powers of the soul, developed through consistent meditation and deliberate, grueling, often uncomfortable tapas, or awakened naturally through spiritual maturity and yogic sadhana.

Through the repeated experience of Self Realization, siddhis naturally unfold according to the needs of the individual. Before Self Realization, the use or development of siddhis is among the greatest obstacles on the path because it cultivates ahamkara, I-ness, and militates against the attainment of prapatti, complete submission to the will of God, Gods and guru. Six siddhis in particular are considered primary obstacles to samadhi:

- clairvoyance (adarsha siddhi or divya siddhi),

- clairaudience (shravana siddhi or divyashravana),

- divination (pratibha siddhi),

- super-feeling (vedana siddhi) and

- super-taste (asvadana siddhi),

- supersmell (varta siddhi).

The eight classical siddhis are:

1) anima: to be as small as an atom;

2) mahima: to become infinitely large;

3) laghima: super-lightness, levitation;

4) prapti: pervasiveness, extension, to be anywhere at will;

5) prakamya: fulfillment of desires;

6) vashitva: control of natural forces;

7) ishititva: supremacy over nature;

8) kama-avasayitva: complete satisfaction.

The supreme siddhi (parasiddhi) is realization of the Self, Parasiva.
