Third eye practices in Indian Culture
The Third Eye is deeply connected to Lord Shiva and His own blissful home – Varanasi, the spiritual capital of the world. Varanasi is the DNA of Vedic tradition where death itself is liberation. So, Third Eye is Shiva’s abode or Shivaloka, from where He expresses His all-auspiciousness and powers. In Sanskrit, we have a proverb, "If you die in Varanasi, you will achieve liberation." ‘Varanasi’ means Third-Eye – the space between your nose and eyebrows. If your identity dies in Varanasi, when you leave your awareness at the Third Eye, you will become enlightened.
