Hi All,
Siidhis are seen as a science, so I thought here is a good place to post this...
I was recently reading a book by a swami where he cited a few stories of yogis performing siddhis such as one swami who manifests a sewing machine from Delhi. His master says it is no good as he is stealing from a shop...
In another story this Swami is hungry for 3 weeks and doesn't want to beg and he is sitting by the Ganga when all of a sudden a hand appears out of the river holding a bowl of food. He takes that bowl and it is a never ending food supply bowl... he keeps it for 3 years until his master tells him to throw it back into the Ganga...

I don't know about all this...
The stories may be just fiction, to put across a meaning...???
The levitating guy ???
I have no interest in learning about any of these things, and I didn't want to finish reading the book , as I feel it is a waste of time and I'd rather read some other scriptures which don't mention any of this. When I was younger I couldn't even read Yoganandas book for the same reason...
Anyone else have insights on this stuff??
I know Patanjali and others have written and said that focusing on Siddhis is a distraction to true liberation...
Love,
Soul
