5. Knowing the Agnya Chakra
 Your Agnya chakra controls your sight, hearing and thoughts. It also controls
your pituitary gland. This essential gland, also known as “the master gland,”
regulates all the other endocrine glands and influences your growth,
physiological maturation, metabolism and sleep.
 Many of us spend long hours on the computer as part of our jobs. We also
spend a great deal of time in front of the television.
 Too much visual stimulation can weaken the Agnya chakra. Thankfully, the
regular practice of meditation in Sahaja Yoga can alleviate this problem.
 Your left Agnya is connected to the superego portion of your brain, which
retains your memories, experiences, habits and emotions.
 Your right Agnya is connected to the ego portion of your brain, which
focuses on the future through thinking, planning and action. Your ego and
superego intersect within the Agnya chakra.

10. Shri Mahavira
 The presiding deity (or role model) of the Left Agnya center is Shri
Mahavira, who was the incarnated expression of the SuperEgo of the
Virata.
 His seat is in the SuperEgo in the right temple.
 He preached non violence to the self and others.
 His message was very subtle – that one should not harbour violent
thoughts, and that through gentleness of mind the SuperEgo was
sublimated.
 He showed man how to rise above the gross mind.

11. Shri Gautam Buddha
Shri Buddha is the deity of the Right Agnya, and He expresses the Ego
of the Virata, and has His seat in the Ego on the left temple.
He spread the message of compassion and non violence.
He preached the eightfold path, and taught self balance called the
middle path.
He revealed the art of piercing the Ego for the ascent of Kundalini.

12. Lord Jesus & Mother Mary
En route to the Sahasrara Chakra, the Sushumna Channel passes through the center Agnya
Chakra. This is the place of Lord Jesus and Mary. Jesus said the He was the Light of the
Path, and it is His Path that leads us to the kingdom of Heaven in the Sahasrara. Through His
power of forgiveness He brought redemption to mankind. He came to help man realise his own Ego
by allowing Himself to be crucified; great repentance was aroused in man, who could then see the
monstrosity of his own Ego and thus realise humility.
Jesus then showed true forgiveness. If one sincerely asks for forgiveness it will be given. Not only
do we leave the past behind with forgiveness, but we leave our Karmas and Sins behind as well.
The Spirit cannot accumulate sin or Karmas (the fruit of past actions) any more then it can
accumulate guilt.
Once we are beyond the Ego, in the Spirit, we are beyond all of our past actions. The coming of
Christ was a major breakthrough in the human Spiritual ascent; He dissolved all the guilt;
sublimated the Ego, taught forgiveness and proclaimed the immortality of the Spirit through His
Resurrection. He was born again into the Spirit, and we also are born again into our Spirit, when
our Kundalini gives us our second birth.

13. Self-Assessment
 If your Agnya chakra is blocked, you may experience an
inability to forgive yourself or others.
 You may also find yourself dwelling on the past or
consumed with self-pity.
 Egoism and aggressiveness are other signs of an Agnya
imbalance, as well as an obsession with pornography or
distracting sexual fantasies.
 Worrying, excessive thinking and excessive planning may
also indicate a blockage of the Agnya chakra.
