Rajaram Krishnamurthy <[email protected]> 09:50 (7 hours ago) to iyer Pranam Lord Shiva, the destroyer and the restorer, known as Tryambaka Deva is depicted as having three eyes. The devotees consider His right eye as the Sun and the left eye as Moon. The third eye is the eye of spiritual wisdom and knowledge. All the evil and the ignorance vanish as the third eye opens. In Buddhism, the third eye refers to the Eye of Consciousness, which asks followers to see the world beyond their physical eyes. It advises people to see the world with their minds. As per modern spirituality, the third eye is a symbol of enlightenment. It is often referred to as “ *gyananakashu*”, (the eye of knowledge). In Indian and East Asian iconography, the third eye is the “Ajna chakra” or the sixth chakra. It is also known as brow chakra or brow center. The third eye, or “Eye of Wisdom”, or, in Buddhism, the *urna*, is denoted by a dot, or mark on the forehead in the deities of Shiva or Buddha. In the late 19th century Madame *Blavatsky* (who founded theosophy) identified the pineal gland with the Hindu concept of the third eye, or the Ajna chakra. The *pineal gland*, *conarium*, or *epiphysis cerebri*, is a small endocrine gland <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endocrine_gland> in the brain <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain> of most vertebrates <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertebrate>. The pineal gland produces melatonin <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melatonin>, a serotonin <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serotonin>-derived hormone <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hormone> which modulates sleep patterns <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep> in both circadian <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circadian_rhythm> and seasonal cycles <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Season>. The shape of the gland resembles a pine cone <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pine_cone>, and gives it its name The pineal gland is located in the epithalamus <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epithalamus>, near the center of the brain, between the two hemispheres <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cerebral_hemisphere>, tucked in a groove where the two halves of the thalamus <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thalamus> join. The pineal gland is one of the neuroendocrine <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuroendocrinology> secretory circumventricular organs <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circumventricular_organs> in which capillaries are mostly permeable <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vascular_permeability> to solutes <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solution> in the blood. From the point of view of biological evolution, it is linked to a light-sensing organ, known as the parietal eye <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parietal_eye>, which is also called the pineal eye or *third eye.* René Descartes <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ren%C3%A9_Descartes> believed the human pineal gland to be the "principal seat of the soul". science studied it as one endocrine gland among many. Shiva Linga actually represents the pineal gland. The pineal gland of the human body is best stimulated in darkness. Swami Vivekananda had mentioned the use of pineal gland while talking about *Ojah,* which means “strength” or “vigor”. He says <http://www.swamivivekanandaquotes.org/2013/12/swami-vivekanandas-quotes-on-ojas.html> and we quote, “When the Ojas has gone from center to center and reaches the Pineal Gland (a part of the brain to which science can assign no function), man then becomes neither mind nor body, he is free from all bondage.” The calcification of the penial gland will close any doors that could be opened to a whole new realm of spiritual realization. However, artificial food, poor nutrition, bad exercise habits cause the gland to be calcified. One of the most detrimental elements to the penial gland is fluoride which is present in abundance in the toothpaste we use everyday. Experts also say that contact to cell phone radiation is also a major contributor. <http://www.wakingtimes.com/2014/04/11/10-questions-pineal-gland-mystery-spirituality/> It is a common conspiracy theory that that 99% of the world is controlled by 1%. According to the conspiracy theorists, the information that we can actually open our third eye, experience more than we can imagine both physically and spiritually is a threat to the “them” because we will no longer be weak or depressed and will no longer need the consumer products for buying happiness and the healthcare industry will go down as well. <http://humansarefree.com/2015/03/unblocking-third-eye-what-illuminati.html> Eyes its nature, protection and cure are spread over the pages of the Rig Yajur, Sama and Atharva Vedas. And NAYANA DEVI temples at Nainital and Bilaspur are so famous; It is believed that Goddess’ eyes fell at Bilaspur in Himachal Pradesh, out of 51 in creating the shakthi sthalam; and many temples of lower Gods structures are based on nayana exposure of worship in Tamil Nadu. Meenakshi of Madurai, Kamakshi of Kancheepuram, Neelayathakshi of Nagapattna, Visalakshi of Kasi/Varanasi are incredibly famous temples, and all are named after the beautiful eyes of the goddesses. And finally, do you believe that once many other religious nations to day were only Hindu places and one of them was /is todays SYRIA? There is a beautiful eye temple of India started when the MITANINIAN SANSKRIT NAMED RULERS WERE RULING THERE (and Farsi or Persian or our Parsi were only Indian roots thro them which I shall write later) at Syria after Assyrians. Thousands of small stone eye idols are found in “Tell Brak” in Syria. It is called Eye Temple. It existed from 3000 BCE. Naram Sin built (2254 BCE) a palace here. The Eye Goddesses are mysterious and found nowhere else except India. Syrian site is in Nahar al Khabur basin. Ancient Mitannian buildings are in the area.
