To understand the difference between Siddhis and Shakthis, one needs to understand the tradition or source from where they originate. The concept of Siddhi is from Yoga Vedanta Sampradaya (tradition) given by Patanjali who is a disciple of Sadashiva. The truth of Shakti is from Agama Sampradaya which was given by Sadahiva himself to his divine consort Devi. The Yoga Pada (path of yoga), Patanjali shared was the Ashtanga (eight limbed) path which was based on his understanding of Sadashiva’s teachings and was customised for the people who were living in that era. Whereas Sadashiva’s Yoga Pada is Shastanga (six limbed) which is recorded in our Vedaagamas. What is a Siddhi (extraordinary ability)? The context that you entangle during your spiritual practice is of utmost importance. If your yoga teacher says that you have an individual identity, ego, that needs to be purified, and you need to reach a destination called “soul”, you will entangle with this thought current and throughout your whole life you will be proceeding in that thought current. On this path, when the ego is manifesting higher and higher experiences, those experiences are called Siddhis. @srinithyananda #Nithyananda #KAILASA #Paramashivoham #thirdeyeawakening #Shakti #Shiva #Paramashiva #Oneness #cosmicconsciousness #consciousenergy #conscious #spirituality #yogicscience #thirdeyepower #manifestation #manifest #yoga #kundalini #yogisofinstagram #yogi #vedas #agamas #guru #intuiton #spiritual
