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
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.

Shankaracharya installed Srichakra in some of the temples in South India. These Srichakras have the power to defeat the evil spirits and blackmagic. They give away cosmic energy which are positive in nature. They have healing powers and prove very useful to the human beings. People believe that wishes are granted at those places where Shankaracharya had installed the divine Srichakra.

Swami Vivekananda

Swami Vivekananda was also a great spiritual leader. He was a great yogi who gave an inspiring speech at the World's Parliament of the Religions at Chicago on September 11, 1893. People gathered at the place were amazed to hear him address all the people as Brothers and Sisters of America. The divine glow on his face attracted everybody. Such is the mind of a person who embraces spirituality and becomes a yogi. Yogi is the person who wins over the six evils:

1. Kama (Lust) 2. Krodha (Rage) 3. Lobha (Greed) 4. Moha (Attachment) 5. Mada (Ego) 6. Matsara (Envy or Jealousy)

Sri 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 :

Baba Ramdev, an Indian Yoga specialist teaches how to overcome diseases by practising Yoga.

This is something interesting and unimaginable. I never..ever heard of it. You gave me real knowledge of supernatural powers.

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."

vivekananda Hub Author 3 years ago

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.

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 :

diurnalpeloria 2 years ago

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).

Dear Spiritual Friend,

I saw your hub about Kundalini shakthi.It is really good and informative. It is essential to practice Raja yoga to attain the enlightenment in addition to hatha yoga which is its first part.However through Bhakti yoga and Japa Yoga on can get the great enlightenment.Actually all the spiritual practices finally reache to Raja yoga which is the real God vision or Atma darsan.

I am an illumined yogi through Bhakti,mediation and japayoga. Please see my varous articles in the hub pages.

Atma darshan is really the one that many of the yogis want to attain at the end of their sadhanas. It is my pleasure to view those comments from you. Thank you.

Very true vivekananda..!!

I totally agree with you, I have been involved with yogis and spirituality since my childhood.. and I know kundalini power and Lord Hanuman are true.

And Mr. Raj kamal, belief is something which is needed to realize God.. Its not like first God show me himself then only I will believe in him. God is dying to reveal himself to you.. !!

By the way I am having a very good site for your refernece:

When someone speaks about our great culture and on the contributions of all Great Yogis that all these things have no science base, he and everyone who hears him must at least think most of science theories and basics is just the imagination or sudden sparks of ideas in the mind of its inventors and then develops a new basic, a contribution to the branch of science. Science now says a common man uses about 1% of his potential intellegence, about 2% by polititians and about 5% by scientists. By using this 5% of their potential intellegence, they analyse their thoughts and possibilities. By attaining divine power through yoga, prana yama and other spiritual methods one will be able to use his entire potential. Thus gaining wisdom he can understand the real truth. So what our great Yogis had told cannot be analysed using today's science because it has not grown enough yet to provide explanation for Indian spiritual thoughts, because the masters of science use only about 5% of their potential intellegence. Just think on Indian contributions like ayurveda which was born thousands of years before, is getting its world wide reputation. Let me conclude by saying, never tell 'no' or 'its baseless' to our spiritual concepts on the basis of science.. We must atleast study try to understand the truth about our spiritual concepts from a true spiritual teacher by following his instructions on practicing spiritual techniques....

Vivekananda, forget people like Rajkamal. He would question all and everything. Some people love that. Lord Hanuman is the one we have to concentrate on, such people may deviate us from the path if we are weak. So concentrate and build your blog, so many more would be benifitted, inspite of people like Rajkamal.

KUNDALINI AWAKENING IS SOMETHING THAT A COMMON MEN SHOULD NOT GO FOR IT WITHOUT ADVISED OR UNDERSUPERVISION OF GURUS IT MIGHT BE HARMFUL ***? PERSON TRYING TO DO SO SHOULD READ DYANESHWARI CHAPTER "KARAM YOGA" IN WHICH LORD DYANESHWAR HAD GIVEN BEAUTIFULL ILLUSTRATION WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS WHEN KUNDALINI IS AWAKEN....

vivekananda Hub Author 15 months ago

Yes, of course it is a wonderful experience to awaken the Kundalini. But once someone awakens his/her Kundalini, then he should be very satwik in behaviour and food habits. Only an experienced Guru can tell you more about kundalini awakening. He will show the right path to be followed later on, so that there are no negative effects on the native.

I am really impressed with this article. I am also in search of a spiritual master who can guide and solve my plethora of questions both spiritual and material. Talking about Hanuman. I am enlightened to know about those interesting facts. In Telugu we call lord Hanuman as ANJINEYA. There is this famous Anjineya Dandakam(Like Hanuman chalisa). we strongly believe that those who read it will be relieved from fear and problems related to Black Magic and gains prosperity. Another interesting information is that Hanuman is the FUTURE BRAHMA. All the best and keep going.

The deeds done by a human being in his past and present life also counts in this world. Each and every human being or creature gets its form and life style just because of this. So we always see this vast difference in the world.

I really liked tgis article, actually all the informationin this article does makes sense. The people who believe in science more have also started research on such things, the difference is only thT they give their own terms like psychokinesis.this topics have such depth that we cannot reach it.

Vivekanand ji,As long as one considers The Great Ramayan and Mahabharat as just stories, it would be understood as stories only.The Mass of our population is made to understand that Ramayan and Mahabharat or any Puranas as mere stories.... In fact Those Puranas are the REAL HISTORY OF THIS GREAT NATION..not the one taught in the modern syllabus...about some cultureless pirates and maniacs who attacked and looted this sacred land.. Alaas.. that too is our karma phal..Any way.. India is the most Sacred Land in the entire Universe and will ever remain so being blessed by the Great Hanuman and the Yogis and Rishis of Himalayas.

If God really loves us, why didnt he endowed evryone with same power, i mean giving someone more and some very less, infact none. Why is always the poor and weak suffering of various problems in life whereas the rich and guilty roam free and untouched by sorrow. Dont u think sir, that God shd change his ways before we change our belief about him.

Actually i believe that if an honest,inocent and someone who has experienced most of the sorrows of life, replaces God in reality, he can do much better to the world. (Pls dont give the examples of Bruce Almigty, bcos: 1. He was alone, God had 108 deities, and 2. He had only ten days for works which needs 10000 years)

Hi Kennedy, Past deeds always follow a person. It is just a matter of time for a person who is going on a wrong path. Even the richest have to suffer when they are born on this planet. We only see people who suffer physically. But none of us can see a person who suffers mentally until he goes for a treatment or gets hospitalized. We see only smiling faces of people in our everyday life.
