Here’s a whirlwind tour of the siddhis laid out in the Shiva Samhita, where yogic mastery reads like a cosmic superpower manual:

1. Elemental Mastery (Bhrikiṣas):
   • Earth-passage (Akāśa Bhrikiṣa) – walking through solid rock as if it were air.
   • Water-passage (Jala Bhrikiṣa) – passing through water or even strolling across its surface.
   • Air-passage (Vāyu Bhrikiṣa) – moving effortlessly through winds and storms.
   • Fire-passage (Agni Bhrikiṣa) – traversing flames without harm.
   • Reduction to a particle (Aṇu Bhrikiṣa) – condensing the body into the tiniest grain.

2. Inner Alchemy (Aṇimā et al.):
   • Aṇimā – shrinking down to the size of an atom.
   • Mahimā – swelling infinitely, like a balloon touching the cosmos.
   • Garimā – becoming as heavy as a mountain, impossible to budge.
   • Laghimā – defying gravity, light as a feather.
   • Prāpti – reaching anywhere in the blink of an eye.
   • Prākāmya – fulfilling any desire at will.
   • Īśitva – wielding absolute lordship over nature.
   • Vaśitva – charming all beings, human or otherwise.
   • Prapanchabhayakirti – controlling cosmic illusions and dissolving fears.

3. Beyond the Physical:
   • Svapna-jñāna – navigating the dream world with full awareness.
   • Svātmā-darśana – direct vision of one’s own eternal Self.
   • Parakāya-pravēśa – slipping into another body like changing clothes.

A slice of timeless wisdom with a twist: in an era of quantum tunneling and AI “miracles,” these ancient feats feel eerily prescient. Recent viral videos of parkour artists “running on water” echo Jala-Bhrikiṣa, while virtual-reality creators toy with illusion-craft worthy of Prapanchabhayakirti. The Shiva Samhita doesn’t sugarcoat the path—each siddhi arises from rigorous tapas and inner alchemy, not shortcuts. It’s a reminder that true transformation begins within, long before it ripples outward into awe-inspiring possibility.
