CHAPTER - VI

SAINTS AND THEIR MIRACLES

A miracle is commonly considered to be an effect or event without law or

beyond law. But all events in our universe are lawfully wrought are

lawfully explicable.

 

In India in the past there lived great saints, yogis and sagesy had

achieved great powers and could perform acts inexplicable on account of

their yogic prowess. They could command the whole universe with their

powers attained by yoga or penance.

 

Changdeo, a great yogi who lived in the thirteenth century, was a very great

authority on yoga. He could control wild animals like tigers and serpents.

When he went to see Dnyandeo he rode a tiger and had long serpent to be used

as whip. He could bring he dead to life through his yogic powers. He lived

for fourteen hundred years. Dnandeo, also a yogi, went forward to receive

Changdeo riding a wooden log, they could do this because they were both

great yogis. The yogis, on account of their yoga sadhana attain great power

known as siddhi. Siddhi is superhuman prowess on account of which the yogi

can perform wonderful acts.

Siddhis are eight. Anima, Mahima, Laghima, Prakamya, Prapti, Feshita,

Vashita and Kamvasayita. The Siddhis are a result of service, penance and

meditation.

Once Namdeo and Dyandeo went on a pilgrimage to the north. It was summer

and the sun was shining bright. The travel was on foot through the desert

of Rajasthan. Both felt very thirsty. But no water could be seen nearly.

Everywhere was a mirage. They saw a green spot at a distance. They walked

to the spot. There was a deep well. Water had reached the bottom of the

well. There was no open or a bucket at hand. Dnyandeo on account of his

yogic powers assumed a small form equal to a thumb went down the well and

quenched his thirst. Namdeo was not a yogi but he was a great devotee of

Vitthal. He prayed to God and expressed his desire to get water and drink

and the well immediately overflowed. He quenched his thirst. So Dnyandeo

on account of his yogic powers and Namdeo on account of his deep devotion

attained the fulfillment of their desire. This could be called a miracle.
