Nav Niddhi Siddhi

[Guest guest]

Hello Abninashi,

 

may i jump in here.

First of all in Kundalini Yoga we do not aim at Siddhis.

They can be trap. Only the Siddhi for speaking the truth,

making the truth manifest (Vach Siddhi) is of interest to us...

 

Nav Niddhi comes from vedic astrology.

Niddhi means wealth. "Nao Niddhi" or "Nav Niddhi"

means unlimited wealth in form of the nine precious stones.

 

The nine precious stones are:

 

1) Ruby for the Sun,

2) Pearl for the Moon,

3) Coral for Mars,

4) Emerald for Mercury,

5) Yellow sapphire for Jupiter,

6) Diamond for Venus,

7) Blue sapphire for Saturn,

8) Hessonite for Rahu (the ascending node of the Moon)

9) Cat's eye for Ketu (the descending node of the Moon),

 

These rule the 12 houses of the zodiac ( 9x12 make 108 you know that

number ?)

 

The Seven cardinal virtues were represented by the seven planets in

Dante's Divina Commedia.

 

Jupiter Justitia Justice

Saturn Temperantia Temperance

Mars Fortitudo Fortitude

Sun Prudentia Prudence

Venus Gnosis Knowledge

Mercury Sophia Wisdom

Moon Understanding

 

Rahu refers to Stoicism and Indifference

For Ketu maybe it is Determination - dont know exactly.....

 

The 18 occult powers are a dualistic derivation of the nine

Virtues: One can use them for good ore bad....

p.s.: Put your faith in God practicing Sodarhsan Chakra Kriya,

do not aim at Siddhis
