What if the miraculous feats described in the world's spiritual traditions are not merely myths, but reflections of latent capacities of human consciousness?In Miraculous Powers of Siddhis, Mukesh Ralhan offers a wide-ranging exploration of siddhis-the extraordinary abilities described in Yoga, Tantra, Buddhism, and other contemplative traditions. Drawing on classical scriptures, philosophical analysis, historical case studies, and modern consciousness research, this book examines whether siddhis should be understood as literal powers, symbolic expressions of inner transformation, or signs of expanded human potential.From Patanjali's Yoga Sutras and the Bhagavata Purana to Buddhist iddhi, kundalini, mantra, bandha, mudra, and contemporary parapsychology, the book traces the development of siddhi across traditions and asks what these remarkable ideas reveal about the nature of mind, reality, and spiritual aspiration.Balancing traditional wisdom with critical inquiry, this book argues that siddhis, whether interpreted literally or symbolically, must always be subordinated to the higher aim of liberation, self-realization, and ethical transformation. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
