YOGIC LEVITATION (ANTI-GRAVITY FLYING) - IS IT POSSIBLE?

Levitation or self levitation is the act of ascending into the air and floating in apparent defiance of gravity. It is assumed that after certain yogic stages a person can defy gravity and can suspend or travel defying the gravity. Spiritual gurus and sadhus are often depicted as levitating known as Yogic Levitation. Some take the ability to levitate as a sign of blessedness or divinity.

Yogic Flying or Hopping

Others like me see it as a conjurer's trick. In truth no one can really levitate; they just appear to do so. Clever people can use illusion, "invisible" string, magnets, and other trickery to make things or people appear to levitate. Spiritual guru Mahesh Yogi made millions by showing this trick to Americans and westerners. Below is a video showing a yogi in that state. Pl see full video for full enlightment..(kidding).

Sometime back Godman Nithyananda also tried the trick to get back some publicity after his famous sex scandal, but just got more egg on his face. The godman, who is out on bail in that sex scandal case, claimed he can fight the law of gravity and also can make anyone levitate. ABRACADABRA....CHHOO..

One person from the media covering the event challenged his claim - Check below video !

There are people in Transcendental Meditation who will sit cross-legged and hop up and down on their butts, claiming that they are flying. Perhaps they are.. (coughing..should I say jumping like grogs) for a fraction of a second, a few inches off the ground, until gravity brings them back to earth. During that fraction followers will take pictures which are shown to allure the prospective followers.

You can also levitate at home without any Yogic Training. Just jump on the spring bed and ask someone to take pics while you are still up in the air. And voila there you go! There is fortunately another easy way out too. You just need to know how to photoshop :) ..
