~*~DEH SIDDHI~*~

    From ancient times many people achieved Deh Siddhi. Some were Hatha yogis, some came from Buddhism, some from Christianity, many from Islam and several others. As per the knowers, the whole creation takes place due to attrition between sun and moon. Som (Moon/nectar) is life and Agni (fire) is death. It is kaal roop and is also called Kaalagni, Samvartagni or Sangharagni. Its work is to deplete Som kala . Due to it, when Som kala in a body becomes nil (blue), death occurs. Vice verse, we can also say that by increasing the power of som in our body we can transcend death. Then only a siddh deh can be achieved. Bodies are of two types, one is ripe and the other is an unripe one. In a ripe body there is no degeneration and death. In this body alone mind is made sthir (still). Siddh deh alone has the potential to allow mahagyan (great knowledge) to descend into it.


    Raseshwar lineage yogis used specially prepared mercury and mica for achieving long life. The conjoint of mercury and mica are the coupled form of Shiva-Shakti. From it a divine body can be generated. It is said that Shankaracharya's guru Govindpad practised it. Such people become jeevanmukt. While in Hatha yoga instead of mercury, they made use of air to achieve a similar end. Whatever attributes mercury has, similar attributes are found in air also. By locking, both khechari state was achieved and immortal life enjoyed by the practitioners. Bindu sadhana was yet another method to achieve immortality. In Nath Sampradaya they talked of kayasiddhi which was equivalent to jeevan mukt or immortal bodies as explained above. Bhav deh of Vaishnavas is also a similar state.


    Just by achieving deh siddhi all work is not accomplished. After it one has to enter into great tapasya (austerities). Many Sidhas are roaming around in their realm. Some are having old bodies, some are ever-young, but everyone of them is working hard towards achieving great knowledge; but have not achieved that until today. With long tapasya, Siddh deh is achieved, body's conversion into a Divine body (Pranavtanu) where there is no death. Pranavtanu only can support great knowledge.


    The Nath lineage yogis talk of two kundlinis, Para and Apara . They are developed by the grace of Guru alone. Paramtattva is greatest of all the tattvas in creation. Without making the shakti move upwards it cannot be achieved. In this state shakti is called Khand shakti. Actually Shiv and Shakti are inseparable. When we join our body with that of Parmeshwar, that state is called Shiv Shakti (raising of kundalini from Mooladhar to Sahasrsr. In this state all divisions are dissolved and one experiences Mahanand (the greatest bliss) and achieves parampad (the highest state). Then alone we will get real knowledge of this body as per the Siddhas.


SAHAJAM SOATMASAMVITIH SANYAM SARVA NIGRAH,

SOPAYAM SVASVAVISHRANTIRDWAITAM PARMAM PADAM.


    Near whom will this parampad appear? In answer to this question, it is said that it will appear near that driddchit yogi who is established in Madhyavastha, who’s mind does not experience any rise or fall (of emotion). Near such a yogi it appears in just one moment. In this dawning alone our body dissolves. Only then a yogi becomes eternal, his desire reigns supreme, he goes beyond old age and death and cannot be killed by even devtas (divine beings).


    Shudhagnaya lineage also accepts the concept of deh shuddhi. According to them both jeevanmukt and paramukti are achieved in the body which falls under the realm of kaal or time. But this state cannot be achieved after death of this body. Siddhganas roam around on this earth in Jeevanmukta state and in that state their bodies are called Shuddh deh. In paramukti also there is a body and that is called Divyadeh (divine body). This body is in ether. Siddh deh roams on earth and is beyond death. Though it remains in this mortal world but it does not fall under the rules and regulations of this world. In short Shuddh deh is different from the other three bodies; namely Sthool (gross), Suksham (subtle) and Kaaran (causal). All three arise from Sthool, Suksham and Karan, all three of them come from Ashuddhmaya while Siddhdeh comes from Vishudhmaya. At the time of death, the gross body dissolves into the subtle body, subtle body dissolves into the causal body, which is the only body that is left behind. Though this body is pure, it's not completely pure. Some impurities are left behind in it. This impure susceptible body can be converted into an eternal pure body of shudhmaya with the help of some special methods. Yogigana call this special method ‘VEDH’. Without the help of such yogis, Vedh cannot be done.


    With the help of shuddhdeh one can achieve the jeevanmukt state. A jeevanmukt on one side is connected to chinmaya realm while on the other side it has no connection with the  ashuddhmayic realm. Once divyadeh is achieved then even old age cannot come. Even the connection with the realm of shuddhmaya is also lost. Thus we can say that in the paramukti state also the body exists. As per the siddhas, prakrit Gyan deh is this state only. Siddhdeh though pure is still Jad (gross) Divya deh is Ajad. Siddhdeh Only converts to Divyadeh. The Jeevanmukta as per their own wish roam around in this mortal world, they remain youthful. With divya tanu it is not possible to enter this mortal world. But this also is not totally impossible. As per Siddhas, chaitanya is not without form. With special effort of chaitanya, form becomes permanent. In the absence of a permanent form only, form can be changed. In this sensory world form is taken. With the help of form only Atma becomes evident or manifests. Formless Atma is unmanifested and cannot be called Atmapad.


    As per ancient practices, it can be inferred that such practices were used by various different sects. But from the Akhand Mahayog point of view, much value is not given to such a deh siddhi as that is a bloodless state of body. Until the blood of the mortal body is made siddh, one cannot transcend kaal (time). With the help of the force of karma, only the blood in a mortal frame is made siddh. In siddh deh all the ingredients are there i.e. bones, muscles, ligaments and skin etc. Only blood is not there. Kaal vayu works inside our body by taking the help of the blood. If the body is without blood then the effect of time is not there and death is won over, breathing stops. But breath of the skin pores, atoms and skin still is left behind. Outside air (breath) goes out of the body forcefully. In blood itself, death takes birth. In the dead is exhalation while in the eternal is inhalation. Hence actually siddh deh is under the power of time. Siddh deh also cannot join with mortal deh because the moment it joins it, the attribute of death starts flowing in it. If karmasthan of a mortal frame is shudh then chances of any loss are not there on association with it. The only concern on meeting with a mortal frame is that a part of blood may not come with kaalvayu. When inhalation and exhalation become one, the yogi comes under the control of death because at that time kaalvayu is left and its effect is on the pores of the skin. Because of the effect of blood, Siddhas keep their bodies away from mortal humans. Ras of Ling deh covers the Siddh deh. This circle of Ras is called circle of karma. Siddh deh keeps inside this circle. When they want to give darshan to anyone, then by the force of the attractive power of that person’s karma shakti this work is performed. This problem is there in siddh deh. But in Akhand Mahayog it is not there. In the trade of the earlier explained siddh deh, blood is totally removed and time also becomes complete but is not annihilated. Kaal can be annihilated only if blood is not removed and eternity made to arise. Till mortality and immortality join together, eternity cannot be achieved. Thus in the deathless body also, kaal is left there. Below our tongue is a bundle of thin nerves which reach to our navel. When they are separated, the doors to skin pores are closed.


    The Siddh deh does not achieve a higher elevated place, but it establishes itself in Shunya. It is the Atma which elevates and not the body. Because whatever one is not having, one gets that alone. The Dehshudhi person is one pointed. The moment in which they achieve siddhi, that moment gets fixed and becomes permanent for them. They become still or nishkriya . To manifest in the world, to give darshan to bhaktas, all this is under kaal , thus siddh deh is also under kaal.


    The Kayasiddhi persons cannot bare the pain of this world, as for them there is none other than their own self everywhere. In them there is no doing, no enjoying and no smriti (memory). They do not know anything about anyone. They cannot say anything without seeing anything, but on seeing they can say everything! Kayasiddhi is eternity of the mortal frame. But when the yogi leaves the body before finishing his work, then he gets a new body to complete his sadhana. This body is not gotten from parents. This body, though without blood, still carries all the smriti. Until now the Sadhana of the mind has not been completed and hence Akhand Maha Chaitanya Deh has not been realized! Many achieved siddh deh, but nobody has yet been able to annihilate kaal completely.
