Those in the East who practice yoga may develop special powers called [[siddhis]]. These include many of the miraculous feats we have heard of in the West: knowledge of the past and future, knowledge of past lives, great strength, walking on water, flying, bilocation, mastery of the elements, the ability to surround oneself with a blaze of light, and the ability to choose the time of one’s death. Some of these seemingly miraculous abilities were demonstrated by [[Jesus]] and by some modern Christian saints such as [[Padre Pio]]. | Those in the East who practice yoga may develop special powers called [[siddhis]].
