Prabhupada, New Vrindaban, September 4, 1972 — Suppose a yogi is sitting here. You can ask him, “Give me a fresh pomegranate from Kabul.” He will immediately give. So there are so many siddhis, perfection: anima, laghima, prapti-siddhi, isita, vasita. A yogi can manufacture a planet, he is so powerful.
Just like Visvamitra Yogi. He produced man from the tree. So these are yogic perfections, not simply pressing the nose. That is not. Yoga practice is to gain material power. That’s all.
There was.. Say, about hundred years ago there was a yogi in Benares, Kasi, and he was sitting naked on the road, public road, and the government took objection.
So he was taken several times to police custody, and he came out. He became very famous. So there are many yogis. They can play this magic. But all this yogic power in large quantity… Just like a yogi can float himself in the air, but by God’s yogic power, millions and trillions heavy planets are floating in the air, millions and trillions.
So the supreme yogic power is Krishna. Therefore it is said, bruhi yogesvare krsne. Yogesvara. Isvara means controller. There are many yogic power and yogis, but he is the supreme controller of everyone.
