Supernatural Powers

[jii]

Can any shed some light on the 18 supernatural powers quoted from Sri Guru Granth Sahib below.

Page10 Line 13 Raag Goojree: Guru Arjan Dev

ਸਭਿ ਨਿਧਾਨ ਦਸ ਅਸਟ ਸਿਧਾਨ ਠਾਕੁਰ ਕਰ ਤਲ ਧਰਿਆ ॥

sabh nidhhaan dhas asatt sidhhaan thaakur kar thal dhhariaa ||

All the nine treasures, and the eighteen supernatural powers are held by our Lord and Master in the Palm of His Hand.

Ares these supernatural powers in any way taking account of the so-called ‘jaddo acts’ that occur frequently in India, or is this simply another sort of power which God has?

[۹βkaur۹β]

nah, im sure theres no place for jadoo acts in sikhi

i think it refers to vahegurus powers?

i dunno, im sure someone else can help...... anyone?

perhaps links in with ridhiya sidhya? or dasam duar?

:D

1. Ridhi-Sidhi - These are supernatural powers, and include Ridhi, Sidhi, Nau-Nidhi, Budhi, and Mukti - Ridhi

It is attainment, success, progress, and affluence. Literally, Ridhi also means cooked-food. The practitioner of the Naam becomes widely known (influential), and the people start bringing him or her all sorts of foods, eatables, gifts, and other commodities - one of his attainments.

Sidhi

Occult, i.e. supernatural powers. One can be present at more than one places at one and the same time, can make prophesies, become invisible, get power to fly, can make things happen, bless (and curse) others, produce things from nowhere, bring back life to the dead, and solve problems of the others. His or her Hamzad (astral-self) can separate from the gross body and visit places etc. Such powers come naturally as well. Power to change his body with another on verge of the other’s death, can develop. Some may get the power to die at will, and even of automatic self-immolation of his or her dead body. The practitioner does not usually long or work for them. He is not supposed to display his or her prowess. Moreover, these are considered to be of no great merit, are interference in the Lord’s plans, and are a hindrance in the God realization. These do not lead to emancipation -

Ridh-e sidh-e sabhu mohu haae Naamu naa vassaae

Manne aa-ae

Supernatural powers are attachments,

These do not permit the Naam to get set in the mind.

5-593-18

Sidhis are 18. (Shabdarath, S,G,P.C., 1986, Page 10). Major Sidhis

Par-Kaya Parvesh - ability to enter other’s body. To rejuvenate, he may discard his own old body and enter that of a (dying) young person.

nah, im sure theres no place for jadoo acts in sikhi

but they do exist :D Guru Ji is acknowledging this

i think it refers to vahegurus powers?

NONONONO NOOOOOOOO Akaal's power cant be limited by 18 Ridhis!! Even Jogis/Sidhis used to attain them (again ackowledged by Guru Ji)

perhaps links in with ridhiya sidhya? or dasam duar?

in terms of dasam duar they are nothing but hurdles 4 Gursikhs who are on the path

Door-Darshan - to see all, e.g ghost demons

All im going to say is the thing written above is by SAS sikh awarenss society they even said tht muslims can go invisible and go small in one of their lectures

So i wnt to say Guru Granth Sahib Ji is not a spell book

lol wow what a scare tactic!

Supernatural powers are real. Through great Gian and Abiaas does one attaint these powers.

Gurus, Pirs, Fakqirs, Bhagats sants... they have these powers(if they are truly a man of Waheguru).

Sikhi though does not allow the use of these powers. If they are attained they can be used for the betterment of this world Kal Jug but cannot be shown to others in this world. Also another reason they are not to be used is because Waheguru has sent us to the Earth to pretty much test us. To see if we can reach the light in a world of darkness.

So to answer your question these are not Jhadoos but are powers are attained through Gian.
