GrandTrinity Posted April 14, 2007 I recently met a Siddhi and attended a Kirtan at Shanti Mandir in Walden... much incredible energy. Please lets discuss the Siddhi group? What is interesting about it? What is the difference between Siddhi groups? etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spectrum Posted April 14, 2007 Not sure what you mean by meeting a Siddhi? Usually if it's a teacher of note they will manifest Siddhi's. Siddhi (Sanskrit:सिद्धिः; siddhiḥ) is a Sanskrit word that literally means "accomplishment", "attainment", or "success" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DaoWaDiddy Posted April 15, 2007 if this is the same group as the "yogic flying" and TM maharishi-mish-mash i wouldn't waste my time I don't think these are the same group. Shanti Mandir has a web site here: http://www.shantimandir.com/index.htm. A quick look seems to point to a lineage from Baba Muktananda - see his listing on "Rate a Guru" here: http://www.globalserve.net/~sarlo/RatingsM.htm#mukie. That said, I have no real knowledge of them or their practices. GT, what was your experience Charlie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GrandTrinity Posted April 15, 2007 (edited) yes this is a Muktananda lineage. The MAHA siddha's are the tibetan masters, I understand. My experience at the ashram was powerful, a lot of positive vibes in the Kirtan and the people were also very kind worshippers of the Devi, the Goddess. They are hardcore goddess lovers, calling this "cosmic insurance" even! I went to a yoga class at the gym recently and had a very positive expeience with a Siddha teaching. Both the siddhi and the goddess he left with had perfect bodies. The yoga we did was had elements of all kinds. It was mostly a flow yoga, but also used warrior wellness techniques to open all the joints at the beginning and end. There was many sublties and some pranayamas, but he presented it quite clearly.. a challengeing practice which made people loose their breath...but the om nama shivaya audio during shivasana restored everything at the end. My lady friend and I felt like a million $ for the rest of the night! I am looking forward to learning a lot more from this Siddhi!
