The Bindu Sadhana 1


In the third and the final phase of the daily practice of Bindu yoga the Sadhaka meditates on the feeling that the brain is fully illuminated and that the divine luminescence is slowly pervading the entire body. No corner, no portion, inside the body is left un-illumined. The gentle effulgence of the bright spot focused in the domain of the Ajna Cakra intensifies with the Sadhaka's mental engrossment and willpower. The duration of its consistent appearance and the domain of its light (aura) also increase correspondingly. The Ajna Cakra is described in the yoga Sastras as the sixth sense, the third eye or the divine eye. A third eye is usually depicted at this spot on the forehead (Siva) and Goddess Durga. According to a story in the Puranas, Lord Siva had generated divine spark with immense effulgence by opening his third eye and had thereby 'charred' the prankish, erotic power of Kamadeva into ashes.
In anatomical terms the Ajna Cakra encompasses the pituitary and pineal glands. It has a subtle structure similar to that of an eye. This Cakra is an eye of the subtle body. By awakening of this latent center of subtle perceptions one can visualize the otherwise invisible or hidden entities, the scenarios of the past events and those of the future happenings anywhere in the space…….
With the help of the X-ray we can photograph the internal parts of the gross body and also 'see' the belongings inside a closed metal box…... etc. The signals emitted from (or received by) the 'subtle eye' are much more powerful. If this 'eye' is opened (or enlightened by thy luminescence) then one can use it for television without the help of any external or materialistic means. Sanjay is described in the Mahabharata to have been endowed with this power of supernatural vision. This 'third eye' shows the world that can never be seen by the ordinary eyes (of the gross body).
Apart from having the potential of supernatural vision, the awakened Ajna Cakra also has the latent capacity to transmit the glow of its aura as a powerful spark. This radiant force can burn (diminish) all the illusions and evil assimilation that prevent the refinement of the subtle body (thoughts and sentiments) of the Sadhaka. Thus, by successful practices of Bindu yoga all the Kusamskaras and weaknesses can be destroyed completely with the help of the immense power of the spiritual effulgence emanated from the Ajna Cakra.
Philosophically speaking, the awakening of the 'third eye' means arousing of the viveka - pure and discerning intellect and prudent foresightedness, which exists in every human brain but in a dormant state and largely remains latent and unrealized by most of the people. The activation of the hidden wisdom eliminates all ignorance and thus helps restrain and remove the blemishes of avarice, selfishness, possessive attachment, ego, jealousy and the agonies of the unlimited desires and mental complexities caused by them.
The Puranas mention that when the world becomes disorderly and the misdeeds of evil mentality severely disturbed the harmony of nature then God Siva performed his Tandawa… When he was engrossed in this 'temblor' dance, he opened his third eye. The opening of this eye generated the devastating spark of the grand disaster. The complete destruction of the world was then followed by the creation of a new, orderly world of divine disciplines.
