Siddhis are supernatural powers
A spiritual discourse from the Holy Land on the purpose of life and divine grace.
"The aim of our being here is different. At the same time, dharma, artha, kāma, or mokṣa—to realize this, the Merciful One has given us the birth of the human."
"Wherever the saints put their holy feet, there I put my palms. They are walking on my palms."
Om Viśvadīp Guru Kuljadan, speaking from Rajasthan, India, addresses seekers worldwide. He explains the human goal of self-realization, using the teachings of Krishna and the story of Narada to illustrate the supreme importance of saints and devotion. He discusses the Satguru Chalisa, the nature of divine incarnations, and a cautionary tale about spiritual grace, before concluding with an introduction to the eight perfections, or siddhis, warning against the ego they can foster.
