Source: ORA: Amanaska (king of all yogas): A Critical Edition and Annotated Translation by Jason BirchMahimāsiddhi (महिमासिद्धि) refers to the “Siddhi of Mahimā”, according to the Amanaska Yoga treatise dealing with meditation, absorption, yogic powers and liberation.—Accordingly, as Īśvara says to Vāmadeva: “[...] [Now], I shall define the nature of that highest, mind-free absorption which arises for those devoted to constant practice. [...] The Yogin who is absorbed in only self by the self for sixteen days, obtains the Siddhi of Mahimā (mahimāsiddhi), by which he possesses an extremely large size. [...]”.
Yoga is originally considered a branch of Hindu philosophy (astika), but both ancient and modern Yoga combine the physical, mental and spiritual. Yoga teaches various physical techniques also known as āsanas (postures), used for various purposes (eg., meditation, contemplation, relaxation).
