True yoga power and dharma manifest when one protects dependents and follows the mahājanas in devotional service.Listen — Srila Prabhupada Uvaca
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 3.25.5–6 — November 5, 1974, Bombay 741105SB-BOMBAY [45:06 Minutes] SB-03.25.05–06_741105SB-BOMBAY Nitāi: Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya. Oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya. [Prabhupāda and devotees repeat] [leads chanting of verse, etc.] maitreya uvāca pitari prasthite 'raṇyaṁ mātuḥ priya-cikīrṣayā tasmin bindusare 'vātsīd bhagavān kapilaḥ kila [SB 3.25.5] [break] [01:01] "Maitreya said: When Kardama left for the forest, Lord Kapila stayed on the strand of the Bindu-sarovara in order to please His mother, Devahūti." Prabhupāda: pitari prasthite 'raṇyaṁ mātuḥ priya-cikīrṣayā tasmin bindusare 'vātsīd bhagavān kapilaḥ kila [SB 3.25.5] So father... What is the name?
Prabhupāda: Kardama Muni. Kardama Muni left home. So Kardama Muni was a great yogī. So he was not interested, family life, but once he desired that "Let me marry." So Vaivasvata Manu, he brought his daughter, Devahūti, and she was married with Kapila, er, yes... Devotee: Kardama. Prabhupāda: Hmm? Nitāi: Kardama. Prabhupāda: Kardama Muni.
So Kardama Muni, the wife, a king's daughter, but she was serving the husband, and... The yogī, in a cottage he was living, and she was king's daughter, princess. So working, working, she became very skinny. So Kardama Muni took [com]passion upon her that "This girl has come to me.
She is not in a comfortable position." So by his yogic power he created big, palatial house, many servants, maidservants, garden, everything. Not only that: Kardama Muni created one airship. It was just like a small city. The modern airship—they have prepared 747—can carry about five hundred passengers.
Of course, very big. But Kardama Muni created an airship just like a small city. In that airship there was nice lake and palaces and garden, and not only that, the airship traveled all over the universe. They could not make any airship to go to the moon planet, but Kardama Muni, by his yogic power, he created an airship which could go to all the planets.
This is yogic power. Aṇimā laghimā prāpti—all kinds of siddhi, material siddhi. Whatever he likes, he can do. That is yoga-siddhi.
Not simply pressing the nose and making some gymnastic. One must gain the yogic siddhi. By the..., by the siddhi-yogī, he can do everything he likes. He can become smaller than the smallest and bigger than the biggest.
