SVS 269 [Siddhida - 255] (27.8)

255. OM SIDDHIDAYA NAMA: सिद्धिदाय नम:
Blesses siddhi to those desiring it.

Siddhida means, grants enormous results, to those who worship Him. There are eight great siddhia [accomplishments] like anima, mahima, etc. Hanuman, with His blessings, was able to make himself very small to be invisible at Lanka! This is anima siddhi! This type of siddhi should not be used for selfishness. Also these siddhis will never get Moksham. Hanuman was able to fly in air by making him very light [lagima siddhi]. In Mahabharata, when Bhima met his brother Hanuman and thought he was merely a monkey, Bhima could not even lift Hanuman's tail. Hanuman exhibited the balima siddhi!
