can we use the siddhis we gain? will it close doors to higher sprituality?
Siddhis are gained during the course of Meditation / Dhyana / Raja Yoga.
Its not easy to Gain siddhis. It takes years may be decades of Meditation to gain Siddhis. I am sure by that time you would have reflected enough to understand pros/cons of using Siddhis.
It is not good to use siddhis without understanding the consequences.
No action is good from every one. An action you take which may benifit one person may have a negetive effect on some one else. And especially with siddhis if you act irresponsibly you may do a lot of damage unknowingly.
Using Siddhis for wrong purpose will create bad Karma and it can have a negetive impact your spritual growth.

what are the advantages of meditation? what is best and easiest meditation technique?
Most people meditate to relieve tensions and to improve concentration.
Mind when left to its will keeps on wandering. And its these thoughts about what could go wrong, what could be the consequence of your past or present actions that make us tense.
Meditation is the process of calming your mind. Meditation trains you to narrow down your thought process to a single object/thought. When you train your mind to be one pointed this you are more attentive to the one thing you are doing and this increases your concentration and also memory.
The simplest way of meditation is to concentrate on your breath. You can sit in a chair in a comfortable position and concentrate on your breath cycles while you breath in and breath out.
Another way is to mentally chant a mantra/word like OM repetitively. You can start chanting aloud and then slowly fall back to just chanting with lip movement and then finally just chant om mentally without even the lip movement.
There are many more ways but these are simple ways which any one can follow.
You can read Swamy Vivekananda's Raja Yoga PDF which you can get online to understand more about meditation. Raja Yoga is the science of Meditation compiled by Sage Patanjali.

what is third eye meditation? Does it have side affects? how to practise it safely?
Third Eye Meditation is meditation by concentrating at the spot betwen your eyes. Third Eye Meditation is also known as Jangama dhyana.
This is the position where the soul is located according to hinduism. This is also the spot where the Ajna Chakra is located.
You should not directly start Third Eye Meditation. You need to first start with smiple forms of meditation like concentrating your breath or mentally chanting a mantra Like OM for some time till you are able to concentrate your mind on a fixed thing without letting it drift.
Once you are confident with it you can move on to other powerfull forms of meditation.
Yes third eye meditation may have some side affects like you will have a squezing affect at the centre of the forehead and this will happen even when you are not meditating. Third eye meditation is a way for selfrealization. On this path you may attain some powers but they are to be discouraged if you wish to attain the ultimate goal of self realization.
In simple terms selfrealization simply means being aware of the cosmos and all the knowledge there is.

why is christmas celebrated. what is the story behind christmas?
Answer :Christmas or Christmas Day is a holiday generally observed on December 25 (with alternative days of January 6, 7 and 19) to commemorate the birth of Jesus, the central figure of Christianity. The exact birthday of Jesus is not known, and historians place his year of birth some time between 7 BC and 2 BC. The supposed details of his birth are recorded in two of the Canonical gospels in the New Testament of the Bible. The date of Christmas may have initially been chosen to correspond with either the day exactly nine months after Christians believe Jesus to have been conceived, the date of the Roman winter solstice,] or one of various ancient winter festivals. Christmas is central to the Christmas and holiday season, and in Christianity marks the beginning of the larger season of Christmastide, which lasts twelve days.[
Answer :Christmas Facts Each year, 30-35 million real Christmas trees are sold in the United States alone. There are 21,000 Christmas tree growers in the United States, and trees usually grow for about 15 years before they are sold. Today, in the Greek and Russian orthodox churches, Christmas is celebrated 13 days after the 25th, which is also referred to as the Epiphany or Three Kings Day. This is the day it is believed that the three wise men finally found Jesus in the manger. In the Middle Ages, Christmas celebrations were rowdy and raucous—a lot like today\'s Mardi Gras parties. From 1659 to 1681, the celebration of Christmas was outlawed in Boston, and law-breakers were fined five shillings. Christmas wasn\'t a holiday in early America—in fact Congress was in session on December 25, 1789, the country\'s first Christmas under the new constitution. Christmas was declared a federal holiday in the United States on June 26, 1870. The first eggnog made in the United States was consumed in Captain John Smith\'s 1607 Jamestown settlement. Poinsettia plants are named after Joel R. Poinsett, an American minister to Mexico, who brought the red-and-green plant from Mexico to America in 1828. The Salvation Army has been sending Santa Claus-clad donation collectors into the streets since the 1890s. Rudolph, \"the most famous reindeer of all,\" was the product of Robert L. May\'s imagination in 1939. The copywriter wrote a poem about the reindeer to help lure customers into the Montgomery Ward department store. Construction workers started the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree tradition in 1931.

why is ramzan celebrated. what is the story behind ramzan?
Answer :Ramzan is a sacred festival for the Muslim community. It is usually celebrated for the entire month of Ramzan. People usually fast for the entire day and then take meal at the evening only once in a day. There are certain objectives behind its celebration. The most important objective is that it is a means of learning self-control. Due to the lack of preoccupation with the satisfaction of bodily appetites during the daylight hours of fasting, a measure of ascendancy is given to one\'s spiritual nature, which becomes a means of coming closer to Allah. Ramadan is also a time of concentrated worship, reading of the Quran, purifying one\'s behavior, giving charity and doing virtuous deeds. The secondary objective of fasting is a way of experiencing hunger and developing compassion for the less fortunate, and learn to be thankful and appreciative for all of God\'s bounties. Fasting is also advantageous to the health and provides a break in the cycle of rigid habits.
Answer :In order to remember the basic belief that it is God and not just the materialistic things of the world that supports life and the founding of the Koran, a Muslim will observe a fasting, chastity [no sex] and prayerful reflection of God and life during the month of Ramadan and ending it in a celebration, Eid, symbolize the period of happiness when Muslims all over the world commemorate the festivities with the praise of Allah and public prayers after which they go home to feast with family and friends. When the sun sets, a follower is allowed to eat in moderation. So serious is this observation of fasting that it is written that one may never break the fast without permission of Allah. If one were to miss a day of the fast, it can never be made up for all eternity. The faster is allowed to eat and drink and have sexual intercourse from sundown until the break of dawn. When dawn breaks and there is food in the mouth, it should be spit out and one should cease from ejaculation. The obligation of fasting is mandatory on a person who has fulfilled these requirements: He or she must be a Muslim, sane, must have reached puberty, must be healthy, and not in a state of travel; and for women, they must be in a state of purity (clean from menstruation and post childbirth bleeding). If a person fulfills the above prerequisites, fasting becomes valid and mandatory.

ganesh chaturthi or vinayaka chavithi . why is it celebrated. what is the story behind it?
Answer :Ganesh Chaturthi, or Vinayaka Chaturti, is the birthday of Lord Ganesha, the God of wisdom, prosperity and auspiciousness. Ganesh Chaturthi 2011 date is September 1, Thursday. Ganesha is today worshipped around the world and the Elephant-faced Hindu god is one of the most popular deities associated with Hinduism. Like symbol ‘Om’, Ganesha is slowly becoming the face of Hindu religion. The Ganapati Festival ends with the immersion (Visarjan) of the idol on Ananta Chaturdasi day - September 11, 2011. Ganesh Chaturthi falls on the fourth day after new moon in the Hindu month of Bhadrapada (August - September). Ganesha is the remover of obstacle - Vighneshwara or Vignaraja – and is always invoked when Hindus are beginning a new enterprise. It is believed that Goddess Parvati created Ganesha out of clay and breathed life into him. Letting him stand guard at the door, Goddess Parvati went to have her bath. When her husband, Lord Shiva returned, the child who had never seen him stopped him. Ganesha did not allow Shiva to enter and finally an enraged Shiva severed the head of the child. Goddess Parvati returned to find her son dead and was distraught and asked Shiva to revive him. Shiva cut off the head of an elephant and fixed it on the body of Ganesha and giving birth to elephant-headed Ganesha.
Answer :Traditional stories tell that Lord Ganesha was created by goddess Parvati, consort of Lord Shiva. Parvati created Ganesha out of sandalwood paste that she used for her bath and breathed life into the figure. She then set him to stand guard at her door while she bathed. However, while she bathed, Lord Shiva returned and as Ganesha didn\'t know him, he didn\'t allow him to enter. Lord Shiva became enraged and severed the head of the child and entered his house. After realizing that he had beheaded his own son, Lord Shiva fixed the head of an elephant (in some versions, Airavata, the vehicle of the god Indra) in place of Ganesha\'s head. In this way, Lord Ganesha came to be depicted as the elephant-headed God.

why is diwali celebrated. what is the story behind diwali?
Answer :Diwali is celebrated by Hindus to commemorate the death of Narakasuran by Mahisasuramadhini. (death of evil--conquered by the good.
Answer :In each legend, tradition and story of Deepawali lies the significance of the victory of good over evil; and it is with each Deepawali and the lights that illuminate our homes and hearts, that this simple truth finds new reason and hope. From darkness into light — the light that empowers us to commit ourselves to good deeds, that which brings us closer to divinity. During Diwali, lights illuminate every corner of India and the scent of incense sticks hangs in the air, mingled with the sounds of fire-crackers, joy, togetherness and hope. Diwali is celebrated around the globe. Outside India, it is more than a Hindu festival, it is a celebration of South-Asian identities.[8] While Deepavali is popularly known as the \"festival of lights\", the most significant spiritual meaning is \"the awareness of the inner light\". Central to Hindu philosophy is the assertion that there is something beyond the physical body and mind which is pure, infinite, and eternal, called the Atman. The celebration of Deepavali as the \"victory of good over evil\", refers to the light of higher knowledge dispelling all ignorance, the ignorance that masks one\'s true nature, not as the body, but as the unchanging, infinite, immanent and transcendent reality. With this awakening comes compassion and the awareness of the oneness of all things (higher knowledge). This brings anand (joy or peace). Just as we celebrate the birth of our physical being, Deepavali is the celebration of this Inner Light. While the story behind Deepavali and the manner of celebration varies from region to region (festive fireworks, worship, lights, sharing of sweets), the essence is the same – to rejoice in the Inner Light (Atman) or the underlying Reality of all things (Brahman).

why is rakhi celebrated. what is the story behind rakhi?
Answer :Raksha Bandhan is a festival primarily observed in India which celberates the relationship between brothers and sisters. The festival is observed by Hindus, muslims and sikhs. The central ceremony involves the tying of a sacred thred by a sister on her brother\'s wrist. This symbolizes the sister\'s love and prayers for her brother\'s well being and the brother\'s lifelong vow to protect her. The festival falls on the full moon day of the Shravan month. It grew in popularity after Rani Karnavati, the widowed queen of chittoor , sent a rakhi to the Mughal emperor Humayun when she required his help.
Answer :The origin and the legends: The festival nurtures a rich heritage of legendary traditions, some rooted back to the ages of the great epics. In the Hindu tradition the Rakshaa has indeed assumed all aspects of protection of the forces of righteousness from the forces of evil. According to the Mahabharata, Yudhishthira, the eldest of the Pancha Pandyava (the five brothers belonging to the family of king Pandu), asked Sri Krishna, an incarnation of lord Vishnu, how best he could guard himself against impending evils and catastrophes in the coming year. Krishna advised him to observe the Rakshaa Ceremony. He also narrated an old incident to show how potent the Rakshaa is. It went like this. Once, Indra, the king of heaven was confronted by the demon king - the Daitya-raaja - in a long-drawn battle. At one stage, the Daitya-raaja got better of Indra and drove him into wilderness. Indra, humbled and crest-fallen, sought the advice of Brihaspati, the Guru of Gods. The Guru told him to bide his time, prepare himself and then take on the mighty demon. He also indicated that the auspicious moment for sallying forth was the Shraavana Poornima. On that day, Shachee Devi, the wife of Indra, accompanied by Brihaspati tied Raakhi around Indra\'s right-wrist. Indra then advanced against the Daitya-raaja, vanquished him and reestablished his sovereignty. This is how Raksha Bandhan came into being in the ages of old Hindu mythology and has transcended into the modern ages acquiring more of new and modified customs with itself.
