if one is born with a siddhi of clairvoyance, how does one bring it under control?

Is siddhi a cognate of the Irish sidhe?Celsiana 04:47, 12 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No, it's a Sanskrit word. And as far as I know, there's no real connection between Sanskrit and Gaelic.

(But I could be wrong! :)

I suggest reading the Yoga Sutras for better information on divine powers (like Siddhis)--Mdsats 08:46, 4 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A Western Version

I don't think that this section really fits with the rest of the article, which is about the Hindu idea of siddhis. Any other thoughts? Sethie 18:20, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I posted this request almost a month ago and no feedback, so I am going to remove it. Sethie 03:01, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Missing Siddhis?

The section "Eight Primary Siddhis" currently lists only five. 15:33, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Copy edit

I removed the copy edit tag. The grammar, spelling and tone seems all good. Cohesion not so much, but I think the confusing tag covers it. Tripnoted (talk) 06:02, 23 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Madhavacharya

The Madhavacharya who is the author of Sarva Darshana Samgraha is not the founder of Dvaitam. This Madhavacharya is actually another name of Vidyaranya, the Guru of Vijayanagara's founders and a Shankaracharya of Sringeri KarthikSsm (talk) 15:59, 17 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Renouncing the Siddhis

Decades ago I read a number of books that talked about the Siddhis, and renouncing them was often an important step. They were often referred to as "distractions" or "obstacles" on the path to enlightenment. I think this is a supremely relevant aspect and I'd like to include it, but I haven't found sources. Anyone?

Incorrect list of siddhis

In the section Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, the list of siddhis given aren't siddhis at all. In fact they're are a list of the Niyamas, the second "limb" of Ashtanga Yoga. The niyamas are a list of observances to be performed by the practitioner of Yoga, and have nothing to do with Siddhis. Since the classical ashta-siddhis are given right below, I'll remove this list altogether. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Magnetar47 (talk • contribs) 10:46, 5 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
