Powers of siddhars

Dear Readers, 

The siddhars are believed to have had powers both major and other 'minor' powers. They are explained in detail in various yogic as well as religious texts.^[6] They also have the power converting their mass to energy and thereby travel in space in light speed to different universe.

1. Anima (shrinking) -- Power of becoming the size of an atom and entering the smallest beings
2. Mahima (illimitability) -- Power of becoming mighty and co-extensive with the universe. The power of increasing one's size without limit
3. Lagima (lightness) -- Capacity to be quite light though big in size
4. Garima (weight) -- Capacity to weigh heavy, though seemingly small size
5. Prapthi (fulfillment of desires) -- Capacity to enter all the worlds from Brahma Loga to the nether world. It is the power of attaining everything desired
6. Prakasysm (irresistible will) -- Power of disembodying and entering into other bodies (metempsychosis) and going to heaven and enjoying what everyone aspires for, simply from where he stays
7. Isithavam (supremacy) -- Have the creative power of god and control over the sun, the moon and the elements
8. Vasithavam (dominion over the elements) -- Power of control over kings and gods. The power of changing the course of nature and assuming any form

These eight are the Great Siddhis (Ashtama siddhis), or Great Perfections.^[7]
