Sahaja - Sahaja-siddhi

The 'sahaja-siddhi' or the 'siddhi' or 'natural accomplishment' or the 'accomplishment of the unconditioned natural state' was also a textual work, the Sahaja-Siddhi revealed by Dombi Heruka (Skt. Ḍombi Heruka or Ḍombipa) one of the eighty-four Mahasiddhas. The following quotation identifies the relationship of the 'mental flux' (mindstream) to the sahaja-siddhi. Moreover, it must be remembered that though Sundararajan & Mukerji (2003: p. 502) use a masculine pronominal the term 'siddha' is not gender-specific and that there were females, many as senior sadhakas, amongst the siddha communities:

"...The practitioner is now a siddha, a realized soul. He becomes invulnerable, beyond all dangers, when all forms melt away into the Formless, "when surati merges in nirati, japa is lost in ajapā" (Sākhī, "Parcā ko Aṅga," d.23). The meeting of surati and nirati is one of the signs of sahaja-siddhi; surati is an act of will even when the practitioner struggles to disengage himself from worldly attachments. But when his worldliness is totally destroyed with the dissolution of the ego, there is nirati, cessation of the mental flux, which implies cessation of all willed efforts. Nirati (ni-rati) is also cessation of attractions, since the object of attraction and the seeker are now one. In terms of layayoga, nirati is dissolution of the mind in "Sound," nāda."

Swami Tripurari describes a theistic form of sahajiya that stems from vaidhi-sadhana-bhakti:

From simple remembrance of Krsna (smarana]), the practitioner moves to consciously removing any other thoughts, practicing concentration (dharanam), and then meditating (dhyanam). It is at the stage of dhyanam that he can effectively envision the eternal daily lila of Krsna, become fixed in that meditation (dhruvanusmrti), and from there enter into it in samadhi, or trance of love. The advanced practitioner performs this sahaja meditation in the midst of his daily activities involving his outer sadhaka-deha, visualizing what Radha and Krsna are doing in their day from the perspective of his own aspired-for role in his siddha-deha.
