In Hanuman chalisa

I wrote about it earlier. Thank you he

In Hinduism, eight siddhis (Ashta Siddhi) or Eight great perfections (mahasiddhi) are described as follows

  1. अणिमा Aṇimā: reducing one’s body even to the size of an atom

  2. महिमा Mahima: expanding one’s body to an infinitely large size

  3. गरिमा Garima: becoming infinitely heavy

  4. लघिमा Laghima: becoming almost weightless

  5. प्र्राप्ति Prāpti: having unrestricted access to all place

  6. प्राकाम्या Prākāmya: realizing whatever one desires

  7. ईशत्व​ Iṣṭva: possessing absolute lordship

  8. वस्तव Vaśtva: the power to subjugate all

the nine nidhis are

  1. mahapadma “great lotus flower”

  2. padma “lotus flower”

  3. shankha “conch”

  4. makara “crocodile”

  5. kachchhapa “tortoise”

  6. kumud “a particular precious stone”

  7. kunda “jasmine”

  8. nila “sapphire”

  9. kharva “dwarf”

However they are hard to understand. It is a variety of experience in meditation.

In a public forum no more interpretation can be offered
