In Jain Dharma, such stories are usually told to highlight the power of brahmacharya, tapas and deep dhyān, not to make us chase miracles.

A few key points from the Jain view:

1. Scriptures do accept extraordinary powers (ṛiddhi / labdhi)

- Very advanced sadhaks can develop unusual abilities as a by‑product of intense purity, samyam (self‑control), and meditation. - But our āgams and acharyas always warn: these powers are not the goal; running behind them actually slows spiritual progress.

1. Levitation specifically is not the focus

- Jain texts speak more generally of extraordinary capacities of highly purified souls, not of “proveable circus‑style miracles.” - Many later stories about 20th‑century saints are oral traditions or devotees’ faith‑based experiences, not something Jain Dharma asks us to verify scientifically.

1. How could devotees explain it, if it happened?

From a traditional Jain perspective, they might say for a very strict brahmachari: - Passions (kashāy) and sensual pull get extremely weak. - Mind becomes one‑pointed in dhyān. - Subtle karmas that bind the jīva to heavy, gross activity are reduced. In that state, certain unusual experiences might arise — but this is a spiritual explanation, not a physical/scientific one.

1. What is important for us?

- Whether that particular 20th‑century story is literally true or somewhat exaggerated, the teaching is clear: - Brahmacharya gives tremendous inner strength. - Intensive sādhana can transform a person in ways that look “impossible” from outside. - Jain Dharma tells us to focus on: - Ahimsā, samyak darshan, samyak jnān, samyak charitra - Daily control of senses, truthful living, forgiveness, and steady practice.

So, could it be “possible”? In strict Jain terms:

• For a very high‑level sādhak, some extraordinary experiences are accepted as possible.
• But Jainism neither makes such miracles a test of greatness, nor asks us to base our faith on them.
• The true “miracle” is complete victory over passions and karmas — not floating in the air.

If this story inspires you toward purer brahmacharya and better charitra, it has already served its real Jain purpose.
