Siddhi
Siddhis (सिद्धि | siddhi) are eight divine powers that remain in service of God and God-realized saints, enabling supernatural feats.
What It Means
Many of God’s powers are described as personified śaktis that exist in His service. Through prescribed spiritual practices, a seeker may receive a limited manifestation of these powers, in accordance with the extent of their practice. This manifestation is not independently possessed, but bestowed by God’s grace.
Through advanced practice of Yogmarg, a limited manifestation of these powers may be bestowed upon accomplished yogis.
