Tantrayoga Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 ?? ?? First step to this is to approach a bona-fide tantra / yoga Guru who has himself attained siddhi in any particular field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukarma55 Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 ....which is not at all easy.. To get a spiritual guru u need the right meritorious deeds and good karmas accumulated from plenty of previous births... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beggar Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 “Dear brother, you must be aware that these things are obstacles <nobr>to Devotion for Lord Krsna. So if you want to take the Holy Name of</nobr> <nobr>the Lord, take the association of the pure and saintly true devotee,</nobr> <nobr>and cast out from your heart all desires for exploitation {karma},</nobr> <nobr>liberation {jnana} </nobr>and mystic powers {siddhis}." Translation of Bengali poem by Srila Bhakti Sundar Govinda-dev Maharaj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sopatel Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 Dear Redsox, In no way are we trying to put you down from attaining siddhis but it is a very sensistive subject. As it is the mind is not pure in kaliyug and I would not want to see you hurt on the spiritual platform. Though since you asked meditation, pranayam and the help of a bona fida guru are the only ways but remember that Ravana was a medicant and had attained various siddhis and powers from Lord Shiv and Lord Bhrama and you probably know what happened to him. When you want siddhis for material benefits it may lead to ahakankar ultimately destroying you. In addition, if you are trying to use siddhis for spiritual elevation then chant the Lord's name, he will make you the most powerful person but keep your ego in check as well. We do not know you personally but this is shere concern of history and even our own personal inabilities.May you gain success in whatever you chooseJai Shri Krishna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murali_Mohan_das Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 The worst depression of my life came shortly after I felt I had attained some mystic potencies. Beware indeed!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AncientMariner Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 I was under some impression that when a devotee chants Hare Krishna all this stuff is attainable but a pure devotee doesn't want any of this stuff because it is not as enjoyable as simple service to the Lord.
