Blurb:

In general terms, a yogī is someone who practises yoga, and a siddha is someone who has accomplished (usually religious and ascetic) perfection: literally, siddha means a perfected or accomplished one. As the circa 14th century Yogabīja states, a real yogasiddha is one who is equipped with siddhi, or special powers.
