The 19th century Hindu super-saint Avatar Sri Sri Ramakrishna descended on earth as a God incarnate to bring about harmony between different religions Ð some of those believing in gods without forms and a few having faith on gods and goddesses with forms. He was an evangelist of spirituality rather than a religious missionary. His every step, every move was based on his clear visions of the far and near pasts as well as the proximal and distant futures. This was possible because of the mystical powers of his open and active third eye. The author, who is until now, the only Ramakrishna scholar who has been studying him deeply bio-behaviourally, explains, with adequate authentic supportive data that the third eye is not an imaginary concept of a creative thinker. It is very much a power of the human brainÕs Pineal Gland. It is the only sensory organ that the subtle-bodied soul carries to the post-death world after leaving the two biological eyes in the lifeless mortal body. The book includes a list of all third eye powers that have been discovered until now and also talks about the astha siddhis Ð the eight very special powers that the yogis acquire through sadhana. There is a brief discussion also on the seven planes of existence and the post-death realms where the souls move once we die.
