Description
The meaning of the word Aeshvarya is "occult power". This is one of six attributes of Bhagavan.[2] This is explained in the following verse—[3]
Aeshvaryaiṋca samagraiṋca viiryaiṋca yashasah shriyah;
Jiṋána vaerágyayoshca tu śańńáḿ bhaga iti smrtam.
[Translation: Bhaga is a collection of six attributes: aeshvarya, viirya, yasha, shrii, jiṋána and vaerágya.]
According to Shrii Shrii Anandamurti, these powers acquired through sadhana. Through regular practice of sadhaná, these eight powers can be attained.[3] He told, with with Aeshvarya comes a commanding authority or Viirya, as n impressive personality is necessary in order to perform benevolent deeds.[3]
Eight Aeshvaryas
There are eight aeshvaryas or occult powers—[4]
- Ańimá, to become small (small enough to enter any physical particle or any crevice of another’s mind);
- Mahimá, to become large (an expanded mind is omniscient, and feels love for the universe);
- Laghimá, to become light (a light body can fly through air, a light mind can study the minds of others);
- Prápti, to obtain any desired object;
- Iishitva, to control (this supreme control may be used to guide others’ minds);
