Is it true that the yogis develop special yogic powers with which they can perform miracles?
In the modern context there is no scientific evidence till date that can prove the occurrence of miracles through yogic powers. Yet it is true that some people claim to perform miracles like flying in the air, living in really improbable conditions and performing tasks that may be truly considered to be humanly impossible. Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, which is considered to be one of the highest authorities on yoga, however establishes that attaining the yogic powers which enhance the human abilities is very much possible. The text describes in detail the science of yogic powers both at the cellular levels and physiological levels. But till such time that the modern science is able to prove anything we shall have to be content in the textual knowledge only without any substantial argument.
