The Exposition of Patanjali Yoga Sutra with special reference to Asta Siddhis to yoga practices
Jampala Srinivasarao, P. Chinnaiah
Abstract :
This paper explains the art of integration through concentration, meditation and profound absorption and also attainment of supernatural powers. Secondly, I have tried to analyse the Pancha Bhutas that affect the Indriyas–5 senses which in turn transmit the physical viations into sensations, only to recall the basic stages of the Pancha Bhutas out of which the whole of the manifested universe is an emanation of the self. Thirdly, an attempt in made to describe the attainment of Asta Siddhis as a result of – bhuta–jaya perfection of the physical body through Anima, Mahima, Laghima, Garima, Prapti, Prakamya, Ishatva and Vasitva. And Finally, I have tried to explain that these Asta Siddhis (Eight Powers) are not the ultimate goal of yoga but only to an indication of the first path of the yogi and hence he need not feel pride in possession of Eight Powers
