Ashta Siddhis possed by Sri Hanuman (Anjaneya)

Jun 30 2016 Tags: Anjaneya, Hanuman

While reciting “Hanuman chalisa” , we come across the word “Ashta-sidhi” . It is believed that Sri Hanuman also known as Anjaneya is a possessor of 8 kinds of sidhis. Literal meaning of the word “sidhi” is “precision”. In Hinduism this word is used for depicting the meaning “ Attainment of heighest peak in spirituality”. It refers to spiritual paranormal powers. It is of 8 kinds as follows-

Anima: Paranormal power to reduce one's body even to infinitely small.
Mahima: power to expand one's body to an infinitely large.
Garima: power to become infinitely heavy.
Laghima: power of becoming weightless.
Prapti: ability to move anywhere without restriction.
Prakamya: power to know the desires of other.
Isitva: powers of having complete lordship
Vasitva: the power to conquer all.

All the above superpowers are possessed by Sri Hanuman (Anjaneya). Even in astrology when a person is under the malefic influence of Shani or its Sade-saati, the recitation of “Hanuman chalisa” works as a best remedy. The reason is simple. Being a possessor of 8 sidhis Anjaneya is the God who is capable of warding off all evils.
