HeyDudesWassup Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 Not sure but this article might help: http://www.gurbani.org/webart63.htm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karmjeet Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 I do not know that much about these powers but i have an idea nidhis : there are 9 nidhis they mainly deal with money, wealth, property and luxurious items. ridhis: 1) enter into another person's body 2) change the shape of their body 3) become invisible read other people minds go to heavean and chill out with gods doing bad things that's all i know bhul chul maaf 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sukhi Posted July 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 Not sure but this article might help: http://www.gurbani.org/webart63.htm ok. that was a pretty good article. Karmjeet, more info would be greatly appreciated as well... the more, the merrier sayeth i! alright. so it's apparent from ur article HeyDudesWassup that we're not supposed to use these powers if we ever get them. my (new) question is: then why do we get them? is it supposed to be some sort of test to make sure that we're on the right track?... some help please... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyDudesWassup Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 yes sukhi_v, alot of people get these powers and are totally webbed up in them and forget about the real goal (to unite with God). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 so what's the point of getting them then?... i'm confused... help!... It comes by itself while doing naam abhyas. The reason the powers are given or comes by itself is because to use them to benefit human kind in vahiguroo raazaa ch(will of god). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karmjeet, could you explain the nau nidhiya in a bit more detail? because from what i see, a lot of people already have all of these.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karmjeet Posted July 10, 2004 Report Share Posted July 10, 2004 wjkk wjkf I m not 100 % sure if i m right but i will try my best . Most of the people have these items like gold , silver,money ,cars , some jewellery but not in a large amount . All the people in this world are not rich . There are few people who have all these items in large amount . i think that not all the people have all of these nidhis . I think nidhis r the powers to get all these items again and again without being running out of them . i don't know whether its true . it seems impossible for a normal person to have very large amounts of gold , silver , very expensive cars , diamonds , rubies , jewels, pearls , and other precious stones . we r talking about large amounts of these items. And nidhis also include to be perfect in all of the talents like music, intellectual or very intelligent , dancing , acting, singing, painting , sports and so on . some people may have one or the other nidhi but it seems impossible to have all of them . luckily very very few may have all of them . but there is no use of them . they r all form of maya .they stop people from the marg of bhakti . these r made by God to test his bhagats . Actually what happens is when a person starts doing bhakti he starts getting all of these things and powers . if he is wise and true lover of God he will not go after them instead he wants only Guru ji's darshan but on the other mayavi person will go after them and forget God and he will be engulfed in Ahankar then kam , krodh ., lobh , moh , etc . and ruin his life . so its better to not even think of them . i do not say that we do not need money , but just ask for nirlepta from guru ji along with maya . this means having all of these wealth and money without forgetting Guru ji and staying in touch with him and longing fir his darshan . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
