Supernatural Powers and Indian Yogis
74
Indian yogis with powers :
Great epic Ramayana of India gives us an idea of how Hanuman exhibited his supernatural powers. He was a Brahamachari (unmarried) with self-control, a strong man with unlimited powers, an unmatched scholar and a great devotee of Lord Sriramchandra. Even to this day, people in India chant the Hanuman chalisa everyday to get rid of the evil. Daily chant of this mantra helps them overcome all sorts of trouble they face in life.
Hanuman :
Siddhi and Sadhanas :
Siddhis are the gained Supernatural powers, Sadhana is the path of attaining of the siddhi which a Sadhak (Person who wants to gain powers) involves in his routine life.
Hanuman had almost all the Supernatural powers or Siddhis. He is a Chiranjeevi(man who has no death), according to indian epics Ramayan and Mahabharatha. He is still existing but unseen by the people of modern world.
Hanuman is said to be existing near Manas sarovar lake, Himalayas :
Famous Himalayan Mountain range :
Himalayas, the famous mountain range at the north of India is also a sacred place for many. In Kailas parvath, it is said that Lord Shiva is residing. There are many yogis still meditating in the caves of Himalayas. They are totally isolated from the modern world. They have the power to resist extreme weather conditions of the Himalayas.
Pantajali and the siddhis :
Patanjali, a sage of ancient times wrote in his scriptures about the eight siddhis, what we call supernatural powers.
1. Anima- The siddhi by which a yogi reaches a minute state. As small as an ant or totally invisible.
2. Mahima- The siddhi by which a yogi is able to be so big that he may even tear apart the clouds and looks as if he has reached the sun.
3. Laghima- Making the body as light as a feather or cotton. The power to levitate; to make yourself light so that one could float in the air or walk on the water.
4. Garima- Heaviest body like a mountain by swallowing draughts of air.
5. Prapti- Yogi attains the power to change any object from one state to another, as he desires. Can predict future events, gains the power of clairvoyance, clairaudience, telepathy, thought-reading, etc. He can understand any unknown language, the language of any beast or bird. He can cure all diseases.
6. Prakamya- Entering the body of another (Parakaya Pravesh).
7. Vashitvam- Power of taming wild beasts and bringing them under control. It is the power of mesmerising people by the exercise of will and 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. Ishathvam- Attainment of divine power. The Yogi himself becomes the Lord of universe.The Yogi who has this power can restore life in dead bodies.
Shankaracharya, the great saint :
Shankaracharya, the great Indian saint entered the dead body of a king called Amaruka of Varanasi. Shankara wanted to gain the experience of worldly life through that body.
Krishna (famous Bhagavath Puran) :
The control over mind and body activities :
In the Bhagavath Puran (a great epic), Srikrishna has stated that there are many ways to attain these siddhis. Control over breathing, by practising the Pranayama. Hathayoga or Yogasans and self-control, meditation, awakening of the Kundalini or divine power within the body are some of them. Only with the Guru's direction these siddhis are attained. Pure vegetarian diet is expected during the practice or even after attainment of these powers. Mind and body should be clear to concentrate and meditate.
Meditation and 7 Chakras :
Awakening the Kundalini :
The short video below shows how a person gets the divine powers by meditation. There are 7 chakras in a human body. After purification of mind and body, Pranayama(control over breathing), continuous meditation and practising Hatha yoga for a long time, the Kundalini Shakthi in the body gets awakened at the bottom most Mooladhara chakra. When the person is able to rise the Kundalini shakthi to the top most 6th and 7th chakras, he will be able to attain the Siddhis or Supernatural powers.
Caution : It is very dangerous to awaken the Kundalini without the help of Gurus (experts in Hathayoga and meditation).
Kundalini rising from bottom to top :

Good topic and interesting one. Must read it.
Ramayana is one of the all time hit stories in India, nothing more than that. Asthma is relieved temporarily when the bronchioles dilate so that air enters the lungs more freely. All the things about body becoming lighter and hanging freely in the air is called ILLUSIONISM. David Blaine does that superbly. Hanuman could have easily jumped across the ocean when the descriptions by the author got extremely superlative.
Mr. Rajkamal, Ramayana is not only an epic but a true story, well-known in India and most of the Asian countries. There is ample proof in Srilanka and India for this. If u visit Lanka they will show the places where Ashoka vatika and battle took place. It is now all in ruins. Hanuman's existance is justified in the Rishyamuka parvat, one of the 7 hills near Hampi. Ramayana and Mahabharatha are not only great epics but stories based on facts. Whole of India is supporting these facts. If it was only a story written by someone only 1 or 2 states in India would have supported this. Hanuman is not only a Ramayan character but a living legend. He is beyond our imagination.
Person who saw him and clicked the photo died on the spot. The story related to this is given in:
geocities.com/Eureka/Enterprises/1503/Saikrish31.html
Just have look into that site. Not only that i know a village in Karnataka where Hanuman(idol) is sitting in meditating posture. In that particular village, no persons are expected to make loud noise. Those people with occupations related to wood cutting, craftsmen, carpenters etc. cannot live here. They suffer with unknown problems if they stay in this village. TV9 had shown this amazing village. You might ask me the question why this idol has so much power, when Hanuman is near Manas Sarovar. The fact is that Hanuman is a yogi with supernatural powers. David blain can show only levitation and not flying in air like superman. But Hanuman can. He is almighty and powerful. He can be in many places at one time. He is a Superhuman. Modern people cannot see him until and unless they fully dedicate and believe in him. They have to follow vrith and brahmacharya for years and totally cutoff from worldly happiness to see or reach him.People who are troubled with black magic can easily overcome this problem by strongly believing and worshipping Hanuman. I've seen this with my own eyes. So, i standby whatever i have mentioned in this blog.
Yes, Ramayana has a correct geographical presentation just like Dan Brown's Angels and Demons. Hanuman a God or killer? why would he kill a person who is trying to take a picture? You say that people can see his real power if they believe in him. I say that people need to see him forst to believe him. I am not saying that you should change your point in the blog or some thing like that. I only want to say that every one has to develop the attitude of questioning before believing. I believe in six Gods which taught me every thing I know, they are, 'What?', 'Why?', 'When?', 'Where'?, 'How?' and 'who?'
If you say that I have to get cut off from this world for years to see God, then, "No, thanks. I don't need God."
Hanuman isn't a killer, but the person didn't have so much power to withstand the divine power that Hanuman had. He was an ordinary man like u and me. Many scientists cut off from the external world, until they discover or invent something new. They forget eating, drinking, sleeping etc. We all know it. To gain something one has to sacrifice. Soul cannot be purified until and unless somebody really dedicates and sacrifices for it. This is what we gain from meditation, Hathayoga and pranayama and worship of god. Happiness that yogis get with all this is only known to them. Not others who are totally immersed in worldly matters.
Your hub has provided a jest of main Indian Philosophy.Interesting and informative hub.
Thank u Glory for stopping here and having a look!
vivekananda whtaever you said is 101% true
vivekananda whtaever you said is 101% true you should have the power to see god, a ordinary man cannot see god with a general sight you should have the willpower to see him and you should believe him
Thank u, Srinivas for dropping by.
vivekananda you are absolutely right because nothing happen accidently...because no one become a P.hd Professor accidently or no one become a Pilot without learning from a master and the same thing apply on Spirituality which is totally different from this material world...If we want to see God then we have to go to a Real Spiritual Master and should learn this Study from him...anyways this is not a small thing which i or any one can explain here or we all fight for this thing...The first thing i want to say that if this person not see God it not mean that no one is in this world who not see God...this person do not know because he only didn't met with all the people on this Planet Earth...The Day when he will wish to see the God then God himself show him the way to him...Second thing i was a dj and i never believed in these things before but after coming in the contact of right spiritual persons...may be because of my good karmas of past life now i am believing in all these things and also gaining experiencesa while meditation...which is better then any material happiness...like sex or money...No one go to path of spirituality or in the shelter of God if we say...its all matter of past karmas and our own desire to know God which is inside our hearts...and the last thing is sadness which come from this material world...
Thanks n regards :

Thank you, Vikrant for those positive comments on god.
very informative page. given me much to think about. i often think of searching for a spiritual master to begin to train further down these paths, however doubt even this initial step. how would one even go about finding a proper teacher, if as i have read to understand, the most enlightened are themselves detached from the material world and thus out of contact with ordinaries like myself? furthermore, what of trust in another man to bring about spirituality? how to put faith in another of flesh and blood to lead me down these paths of betterness? questions and doubts pervade.
i am still young yet, and what a vital thing is time. how to be sure in devotion to this ideal, it will be lead and nurtured by the right teacher?
Diurnalpeloria...to gain spiritual knowledge there isn't any age limit. But to practice and get involved in it is very very tough for people like you and me.
Beware! there are frauds who act like real Spiritual masters.
In Indonesia, especially in Java, Madura and Bali we know the Ramayana story. However, the stories are different. many Indonesian writers in the past must have added some details which make them different from yours. Hanuman or Anoman in Javanese language is the white ape, the general of the army of King Rama who invaded Alengka (Sri langka).
It's good to hear these comments from you Bbudoyono. Hanuman's name in Javan language!...new to me.
