All this is too much to learn at one time. Start with only one of this first.

I don't recall that telepathy is one of the Siddhis, but for purposes of
discussion let's assume that it is. The Siddhis, or yogic powers, are
acquired only after considerable mastery of the practice...say 12 years
daily and with full dedication. But -- and this is the killer -- once you
have them, you should not indulge in their use, for it will quickly
destroy your practice AND cause the loss of these powers.

Catch 22, perhaps?

Dear Afshan:

1. Yes Telepathy is one of the siddhis which one might get depending on their yoga practice.

2. Do anything to obtain that siddhi in mind can not be called as Yoga Practice at all. You can call it some other practice.

3. During Yoga Practice, one may automatically get the siddhi as indicated by BG above. But, this must not be used for any material gain as such, but should be considered only as an indication that meditation or focussing of mind is very good. Thus, the real use of siddhi obtained is to know the nature of meditation. Then, one should continue beyond that so that better siddhi is obtained automatically. The best siddhis are:

- sarvadnyatrutvam - ability to know anything

- kaivalyam - to give up everything including all siddhis as indicated by BG above and stay absolute

Best Luck

Dear Afshan,

Ithink you are in mesmeriastion.You your self have been hypnotised by the wrong use of yoga.
You have to mature first. tHE FIRST ANS FORMOST POINT I WANT TO TELL YOU THAT.keep quite. be in your self.Telepathy is nothing but able to contact or know about the wherabouts of something.This you can only acheive by quietening you thoughts in your mind which is very difficult process. Once you are able to quiten your thoughts than you will realise the powers you have.

don't get caught up in the gifts you may receive as you practise devotion - this will only throw yourself off the path to enlightenment, to finding your true self.
