Tap Into the Power of the Chant

Spirituality by Baal Kadmon Premium

This short 2015 study is Baal Kadmon's deep dive into siddhi, the supernatural attainment that mantra practice is said to ripen into. The introduction explains the premise: recite a seed mantra past its traditional threshold, as with SHREEM for material abundance, and the mantra's power becomes embodied in the practitioner. Chapter one defines siddhi as perfection, attainment, and accomplishment in the Hindu context, with the Buddhist parallel noted. Chapter two catalogues the categories of siddhi powers described in the Hindu scriptures, from anima, the power to reduce oneself in size, through the better-known gifts of strength, influence, and perception. The later chapters introduce the mantras used in the book with their respective siddhi recitation thresholds and powers, the tools needed, and practical guidance. Readers of the author's many mantra titles will recognize the bonus chapters this book grew out of, expanded here into a standalone theory manual for the whole series.
