The term "sola kala" refers to sixteen (sola) kalas. Kala signifies miracles, developments, or abilities. One who has fully developed all sixteen of these kalas is known as a Pūrṇa Puruṣa, a complete being. Śrī Kṛṣṇa possessed all sixteen kalas. These sixteen kalas are compared to the lunar cycle, from the new moon (amāvasyā) to the full moon (pūrṇimā) and back again. One can count from the waxing or the waning phase. The moon becomes full in fifteen days, and on the sixteenth day, a new rotation begins. Each day of this cycle exerts a different influence upon us. This influence causes changes in our hormones, nervous system, bones, and the elemental principles within—the water element (jala tattva), fire element (agni tattva), and air element (vāyu tattva). It further affects emotion, mind, consciousness, and memory. Thus, these sixteen main principles within our body change in accordance with the moon's phases for our planet. As mentioned before, the moon has a particularly strong effect for three days. The awakening of the Viśuddhi cakra signifies that your consciousness is transmitting from the human to the divine. The Viśuddhi cakra is the final cakra for human development. It corresponds to the space element (ākāśa tattva). The elemental correspondences are: Mūlādhāra is earth (pṛthvī), Svādhiṣṭhāna is water (jala), Maṇipūra is fire (agni), Anāhata is air (vāyu), and Viśuddhi is space (ākāśa). Following this, the inner light awakens—the divine light known as ātmā jyoti, jñāna jyoti, or divya jyoti. This awakening occurs with the Ājñā cakra. There are many different expressions and descriptions of the sixteen kalas; some texts write in great detail, others less so. But the comparison with the moon's phases and the sixteen kalas of the siddhis (perfections) is consistent. However, in the scripture Līlā Amṛt, twenty-four siddhis are described. These twenty-four siddhis belong to a God-incarnation. Mahāprabhujī possessed them, Devpurījī possessed them, and Gurujī has written about through which siddhi what specific event occurs. These manifestations happened in the presence of Mahāprabhujī, just as they happened in the presence of Kṛṣṇa. They happen in the presence of the complete incarnation.
