Next Yoga: Siddhasana
Next to padmasana comes Siddhasana in importance. Some eulogise this Asana as even superior to Padmasana for the purpose of Dhyana (contemplation). If you get mastery over this Asana, you will acquire many Siddhis (powers). Further it was practiced by many Siddhas (perfect Yogins) of yore. Hence the name Siddhasana.
Even fat persons with big thighs can practice this Asana easily. In fact, this is better to some persons than Padma. Young Brahmacharis who attempt to get established in celibacy should practice this Asana. This is not suitable for ladies.
Technique
Place one heel at the anus (Guda), the terminal opening of the alimentary canal or digestive tube. Keep the other heel at the root of the generative organ. The feet or legs should be so nicely arranged that the ankle-joints should touch each other. Hands can be placed as shown in Padmasana.
