Siddhi

 

Intense meditation and japa done by chanting particular mantra at first leads towards enlightenment of self then dieties appear being pacified to provide the boon as wished by the meditator completing the first stage of siddhi-ness. Holder of Siddhi beholds absolute power provided by the particular mantra he chanted. Textbooks do mention about eight types of siddhis whereas mantras can be countless and the mantra or hymn uttered to pacify the dieties after pacification becomes a siddha-mantra.   Poem by: Arjun Dahal Gauradaha 3, Jhapa
