Manifesting Extraordinary Power with Ashtakanma Initiation
During the Shuddhadvaita Saivam program at Kumbh Mela Ujjain May 2016, Paramahamsa Nithyananda initiated participants into 70 spiritual powers. On 23 May, he explained about the extraordinary powers which can express through the Ashtakanma Initiation. Ashtakanma stands for 8 actions: ability to stop, divide, falling in tune, making an object do what you want, ability to manipulate, ability to make it still and one 8th action that can be shared only to those in the direct presence of the living master. These 8 actions you can perform with 8 objects: earth, water, fire, air, sky, your own mind, animals and plants. Of these 8 objects, your own mind is the most difficult to work with. If you can manifest the 8 actions on your own mind, you can express all the other powers also. 23May2016 Ashtakanma Session
