Yogesvara

Imported quote 17782 Therefore Krsna is not an ordinary living being. Krsna is the Supreme Personality. That is described here. What is Krsna? Krsna is Yogesvara. Yogesvara means yoga, mystic power. There are so many yogis, they can exhibit yogic power-anima, laghima, prapti-siddhi. So, so many-asta-siddhi-yoga. Not these ordinary yogis, simply practicing some asana, but real yoga means to get this perfection, anima, anu, to become very, very... We are very small. So the yogic power, they can give up this material body, and in their spiritual body they can enter anywhere, through a hole. That is called anima-siddhi. Similarly, laghima-siddhi: they can become very light, walking on the water. That is called laghima-siddhi. Mahima-siddhi: to becoming..., become very big also. There are so many siddhis. So we are not very much interested with these siddhis. Krsna-bhakta... Because, just like a rich man's son, He does not bother about earning money because he knows that "My father is very rich. So if I need money, my father will supply." Similarly, we take shelter of the Yogesvara, the master of all mystic power. So if you want to see some asta-siddhi-yoga, we take shelter of Krsna and He'll show. Why shall I take so much trouble? Why? So people say that in the Western world, I have played wonderful things. But I did not know any siddhi. It is Krsna's desire. He has shown. Krsna is pleased that "For Me, this person has come to serve Me. Now see how wonderful it is." Therefore Yogesvara. Instead of becoming a yogi, you take shelter of Yogesvara. Then all yogic power will be within your control. Just like a rich man's son: if he is in trouble, the whole father estate is behind him. So why should he hanker after earning money?
