lndrajala one can erect a splendid palace with electric lightsand otherfittings. One man used to emit lightfrom his anus. Hehad this Siddhi. He misused this power in eMlways and had adownfall. Possession of Siddhis is not a sign of Self-realisationor spiritual advancement.(10) SiddhisI do not deny the true powers of a developed Yogi. SriDattatreya created a woman through his Yogic powers. QueenChudalai created a false husband out of her Yogic power to testher husband Sikhidhvaja. Trailinga Swami, Sri Jnana Dev,Sadasiva Brahman and others had tremendous powers. Butthere are many Yogic charlatians who deceive the public withsome false exhibitions for getting money, fame and name. Areal spiritual man wil! never demonstrate any Siddhi. But hemay at times exhibit some power just to convince his studentsor to bring good to the public. Chudalai appeared before herhusband Sikhidhvaja and stood a few feet above the ground.Sikhidhvaja was quite astonished and took Chudalai as hisGuru. Matsyendranath did many miracles to convinceGorakhnath in the truth of Yogic practices. Lord Jesus also exhibitedmany miracles to convince his disciples.(11) SamadhiA Hatha Yogi gets himself buried in a box underneath theground. He does this by plugging the nostrils through KhechariMudra. This is no doubt a difficult Kriya. He gets Jada Samadhi.This is a state like deep sleep. The Samskaras and Vasanasare not fried by this Samadhi. He does not return withsuper-intuitional knowledge. This cannot give Mukti. This is akind of feat only. This is not a sign of spirituality. People use thisKriya for acquiring money, name and fame. This has become acommercial business. When they come out of the box, theystretch their hands for money. They make transactions beforethey enterthe box. When the Yogi enters into the box, the headmust be shaved. When he comes out after his Samadhi, therewil! not be any growth of hair if it is real Khechari Mudra.(22)
