The Siddhi (Supernormal) Powers Powerspot Trip ... - Dr Pillai (Babaji)

Who are the Siddhas?
As Dr Pillai states:
Siddhi (Supernormal) Powers Powerspot Trip (March 2013)
“The Siddhas literally means Perfected Beings. They are perfect in their body, perfect in their
mind, perfect in everything they do. Because they don't have a body, they can go everywhere they
want to go and help people”
The Siddhas & Siddhi Powers
The Siddhas are perfected masters who have journeyed beyond enlightenment. Through divine grace and
their own intense spiritual practices, the Siddhas acquired and attained siddhi powers and are able to
perform supernormal feats beyond human comprehension.
Two of the most famous Siddhas masters from the Siddha tradition, Siddha Thirumoolar (who revealed the
Arakara manifesting mantra) and Siddha Patanjali (father of yoga) wrote about acquiring siddhi powers
(such as powers of omniscience, omnipotence and omnipresence) in their epic works, Tirumantiram
and Yoga Sutras respectively.
According to Nandhi (www.nandhi.com), a Siddha based in California, in their search for God, the path of
the Siddhas is one that abandons the rigidity of one’s beliefs in favour of a life that is based on experience,
teachings and grace of the Guru.
A word on seeking siddhi powers: Conventional spiritual traditions have portrayed the seeking of siddhi
powers as something to be shunned because acquiring such siddhi powers is said to inflate a spiritual
aspirant’s ego and may derail his/her spiritual journey.
The Siddhas believe the opposite - you acquire siddhis as result of grace and such gifts constantly remind
you of the presence of the divine living within you. The Siddha way is the path of restraint and Siddha
masters, though graced with siddhi powers, choose to live in solitude or among us in society, disguised as
ordinary householders.
The World of the Siddhas Has Remained Unchanged for Thousands of Years
Siddha Nandhi gives a beautiful description of how to understand the unchanging world of the Siddhas:
“The realm of the Siddhas is mystical, most times unbelievable and has remained unchanged
over thousands of years. To envision this world, it is present to the life present in the extreme
depth of the ocean existing under intense high pressure and total darkness, hardly ever
disturbed by external forces. This would be an example to illustrate the world of the Siddhas
beneath the known in Southern India which still vibrant and alive and yet far away from the rest
of human civilisation.”
What is a Siddha samadhi shrine (brindava)?
A Siddha samadhi shrine is a powerspot where the Siddha master decided
(many hundreds or thousands of years ago) to establish himself permanently in
his light form there in an act of compassion to make himself available to seekers
who seek his help.
A Siddha samadhi shrine is also referred to as “brindhava” which can be
translated as “pleasure garden” i.e. where the Siddha remains in eternal
heavenly bliss. Note that a Siddha samadhi shrine is not regarded a tomb. Many
of the greatest Siddha samadhi shrines continue to be shrouded in secrecy and
we have been blessed to have enlightened Siddha master, Dr Pillai (Baba),
guide us to some of the most powerful Siddha samadhi shrines in South India to
