So please all do me a favor and stop calling hand axes, hatchets. It is not the size of the tool, but the shape of its head that makes all the differences.

Jeeva Samadhi can be achieved by only great yogis. This is a state where Siddhas enters live in to the samadhi state at their own will after completion of Their mission on earth and Their mind remaining fixed on the Divine, They stop the functioning of the body by will. Most of the time many do not know what it is. 2  Sometimes they are just worshiped as temples. i have seen Jeeva Samadhis in very bad physical condition. 3  At one place there was renovation going on and there were planks and paper and paint boxes dumped on the Samadhi itself.
