Dear Asgurd,

               I really think it is dangerous to attain sidhis with herbs. I strongly  believe it is possible only through Saadhanas.


Regards,

Yes..

Herbs may be helpful but only with the help of Herbs it may not be possible.

So Hers has to be used along with the sadhana

Origin of the Himalayan Snowman

 This article was originally published in "Gnanamani"- a Tamil monthly spiritual magazine, May 2001. Translated into English by Prof. V.K. Balasubramanian of Tiruppattur. Sri Siddharajan Swamiji of the Pambatti Siddhar Samadhi Peetam at Sankarankoil, Tirunelveli District, Tamil Nadu, South India is the blessed disciple and for many decades a close associate of Brahmasri Shiva Prabhakara Siddhayogi Paramahamsar. Present in this article are certain invaluable details obtained from Sri Siddharajan Swamiji.

When the exponents of medicine like Sarkar and Sushrudar lived, once a tornado swept Kerala causing wide-spread havoc in its wake. Many huts and mud houses got razed down. It was then the pure prana-bodied Shiva Prabhakara Siddhayogi was walking along Mavelikkara. A macabre sobbing drew his attention. His heart melted on seeing a fifteen-year old boy by name Kochu Raman who had lost his parents. He asked the lad if he would accompany Him. The boy nodded his head affirmatively. Then both of them set out on their trip to the Himalayas.

On their way they reached Kashi. At that time a medical research conference was going on at Vyasar Peetam. Erudite physicians of kings like Sushrudar, Karaveeryar, Gopurarakshitar, Aupatheravar, Aurapar and Paushkalavadar were there present then. An interesting argument came up for deliberation. The contention of their argument was: "Can it be possible for a person to make an ordinary individual (a non-yogi) live for a pretty long period without death?". Saraka, a disciple of Sri Danvantari, the propounder of the Ayurvedic system of medicine, said: "One's life-span can be prolonged with the help of certain medicinal herbs", while another student Sushrudar contended: "It is feasible to increase the duration of life in the blissful state of inactivity by stopping the thought vibrations through a brain surgery".

Prabhakara Siddhayogi stood up and addressed the scholarly physicians: "Salutations to thee, pundits. Please listen to my suggestion". The radiation emanating from His face made them listen to Him with rapt attention. The Swamigal began to speak: "A person may be made to live for quite a long time by giving him a biscuit-like mushroom found in the Himalayan region to eat."

A pundit stood up and asked : "What is the medicinal property of the mushroom ?" The swamigal replied, "People in China and Japan have increased their longevity by the use of a mushroom. This medicine belongs to a rarely available species. It is called 'Lingshi' in Chinese and 'Reishi' in Japanese.

Mushrooms have a unique type of nutrient that strengthens our body. Generally there are three varieties of mushrooms found in most countries. They are: 1. Shell mushroom 2. Bud mushroom and 3. Straw mushroom. The one available in the Himalayan areas is of a different type.

That which expels the poison of fat only has the special nutrient to fortify our body. Mushrooms possess this exclusive property. They are to be purified before eating. In general the shell type of mushroom is superior. If this rare sort of mushroom available in the Himalayan region is identified with the help of a Guru and used, it is bound to strengthen our body.

Not only that: with chanting of the Phala-Athi Phala mantra, imparted by Sage Viswamitra to Lords Rama and Lakshmana, given here for the benefit of readers, the Lord of death can be vanquished:

om hreem phale mahaadevi
hreem mahaphale gleem chaturvida
purushaartha siddhiprade tat savithur
varadaat ke hreem varenyam
bhargo devasya varadaat ke
athi phale sarvadayaa moorthe
phale sarvaksheet prabhoma naasini
dheemahi diyo yo naa jaate
prachaarya: yaa prachotayaat aat ke
pranava siraskaat ke hoompat svaahaa

Some of the scholars present there refused to accept Prabhakara Siddhayogi's speech. They asked, "How are we to accept it without proof?" Readily the Swamigal came forward, "What I state is absolutely true. Keenly look at this orphan lad Kochu Raman standing beside me. You may even conduct all preliminary medical tests too. By the administration of a medicinal herb I am going to transform him to possess a deathless body." People were wonder-struck by the solemn assertion of the Swamigal's statement.

Then the Swamigal took Kochu Raman to the ranges of the Himalayas. Initiating Kochu Raman into the Phala-Athi Phala mantra with a clear heart, he led the lad through the unpolluted Himalaya terrains, showed him the precious herb, instructed him on how it should be collected during the pre-winter season and eaten after removing its poisonous portion.

Prabhakara Siddhayogi lodged Kochu Raman in a cave and properly trained him for one and a half months. A year rolled by. The Swamigal took Sushrudar and Sarakar to the cave where Kochu Raman stayed and called out his name at the top pitch of his voice. A thunderous noise resembling the roar of a lion responded the call. Sushrudar and Sarakar were infact startled. A strange eight-foot tall, hairy animal with the semblance of a man, emerged from the cave and bowed low before the Swamigal.

The two scholars raised their eye-brows in utter astonishment with the question on their lips, 'Is he that Kochu Raman?' His feet alone measured three feet and hands hanged down upto his knees. It was the northern most end of the mountain forests and the origin of snow formation. The two renowned Pundits sojourned there for ten days and tested Kochu Raman's minerals, sub-minerals, stool, tresses and the like and to their great bewilderment found out that the snowman was totally free from any symptoms of the three basic types of maladies - namely, mucus ('kapam'),  rheumatism ('vaadam') and bile('pittam').

Gladly they embraced Prabhakara Siddhayogi and asked who he - the creator of the first snow man - really was. In reply, Prabhakara Siddhayogi closed His too physical eyes but opened the sacred Third eye - the most exclusive feature of Lord Paramashiva and thus revealed His stupendous identity. They both stood glorifying the Lord.

Thus spoke Prabhakara Siddhayogi, " O, the distinguished disciple of Sri Danvantri, the very avathar of Lord Narayanan, Maha Sudarshana and Vasudeva and who carried the urn of nectar, I am the creator of the first snow man, as you said. My energy is Narayana Chaitanya, the primodial nature. It was he who became Sri Danvantri, your guru. The divine herb Kochu Raman ate is the form of Sri Maha Vishnu. I am the mantra form of Rudra which removed its poison. I myself am the primeval Jakova."

Reverentially both of them saluted Prabhakara Siddhayogi. Then Kochu Raman bowed and beseeched Him, "Swami! I am immensely delighted to know who you are. I have a wish to be fulfilled. Please permit me to make you an appeal." The Swamigal granted him permission. Kochu Raman continued: "It is disgusting for me to live all by myself in the cave. Kindly send me a companion." The Swamigal welcomed his suggestion and replied that he would get him a female partner for the rapid expansion of his race.

The next day the Swamigal brought with him, Bhotia, a four and a half feet tall girl of thirteen from the Himalayan forests, and handed her over to Kochu Raman and said, "Do not frighten her. Bhotia, you need not be afraid of him. Both of you happily live together and beget children. Kochu, give her your food. My blessings to you both".

After the passage of a few months, again the Swamigal brought some other medical experts and showed them Kochu Raman and Bhotia, the first snowman pair. After a year, Bhotia measured seven and a half feet tall and had transformed almost like Kochu Raman. As tresses grew thick like mat all over their bodies, they needed no clothes to cover them up with.

Are there any other persons who known these details? Prabhakara Siddhayogi kept the creation of the snowman race a secret for a long time. After He had taken 16 different corporal coils by the exclusive process of metempsychosis, when he was strolling in Kerala bearing the names of "Satti Swami" and "Bhagavan Swami" recently he disclosed it to me and some others for the first time while we were all sitting on a pial under a banyan tree near the Shiva temple at Thirunakkara. At that time A.G. Menon, an advocate of Kottayankadu, Aippu, Mathew and Sukumaran were with me. A.G. Menon asked the Swamigal a doubt, "Swami! Is the snow man a man or an animal?".

He exclaimed 'Ay! It was Kochu Raman of Mavelikkara!' Other details presented here are gathered from different sources in due course of time. A.G. Menon has brought out a book entitled 'M.N. Stories', printed by Viswamitran Press, in which details of the snow man are given. News of the snow man has been published in 'Mathrubhumi' journal as well.



P.S.    Dear brothers, Asguard, prabakar, sandhu, and my readers,

            Today I fortunately  happen to read this beautiful article in India  divine  site.I was so thrilled to read this article. It reminded   me the question put forth  by Asguard and Prabahkar on this topic whether anybody can attain siddhies through herbs.only or sadhanas? in this kaliyug?   After reading this article I feel now , it is possible if it  is used along with the guidances of siddhas  who are quoted like in the above article.  I wish Asguard , prabhakar  sandhu brother to share their views after reading this and  all others whoever reads this please.  Thanks for reading this fine article.


Regards,

Herbs make possible develop siddhis without any sadhana.

You can get 8 major and all minors with some herbs if u know how to use them. But if you dont, its really dangerous.

You may need a little bit of help with awake siddhis through herbs.

Dear asguard,

Thanks for the confirmation that Siddhis can be achieved without sadhana. But I am not awre of that and I have not come across.

But do you know some body or some reference who has achieved in this way.. May be literature reference.. I am interested in knowing more on that..

thanks in advance
