TATO ANIMADI PRAADURBHAVAH KAYA SAMPAT DHARMA ANABHIGHATACHYA
THEN (BY MASTERING THE ELEMENTS ,) YOGIS ACQUIRES (SIDDHIS -POWERS LIKE)
ANIMA ETC DEVELOPS PERFECTION OF THE BODY UNOBSTRUCTED BY FUNCTION
There are several powers that one attains when he has control over the physical body . there are 8 such powers that are described in the scripture. they are -
1 ANIMA - one can shrink the physical body as small as ANU OR ATOM .
2 MAHIMA-He can make physical body HUGH .
In Ramayana HANUMAN became HUGH when he had to go to Lunka. He also became very small when needed
3 GARIMA-He can make the physical body very HEAVY
In one other stories when the Garuda- the eagle - Lord Vishnu's VAHAN, vehicle-thought that he was the best and strong - Lord Vishnu asked him to bring in a monkey who was damaging the garden . When the Garuda tries to catch and get the monkey that was in reality the HUNUMAN - he can not lift him as he is too heavy , Similar story is of BHIMA from MAHABHARATA . Bhima thinks that he is the most powerful and so when he is crossing a bridge he sees a monkey who has his tail in the path of Bhima. . Bhima asks him to move it . The monkey tells him that he is too old and can;t lift it and tells Bhima to push it out of the way. As the Bhima tries to lift it with his finger he can't and then he tries more and more energy and he can't .The he realizes that that MONKEY is Hunuman..
4LAGHIMA- To make physical body as light as cotton .
5-PRAPTI-Power to touch anything -no matter how far it is.
6PRAKAMYA-Whatever one desires - will happen
7.EESHITWA-Control over all the creation . (inanimate )
8 VASHITWA-Control over all the living things.
One may have a question as to how can Yogi do this and then other animals or living things will have no control over their own desires . The answer is that when a Yogi has achieved the level of obtaining such powers , he has no desires to do or use of any such powers . We have heard that some Yogis , when they meditated in jungle , wild animals came , but did not harm or attack the Yogi. Sometimes snake will show up and will not sting the yogi.
