One of the most visible expressions of Third Eye Awakening℠ is the ability to read using the Third Eye or Ajna Chakra instead of using the two physical eyes. As thousands are successfully demonstrating worldwide, it is possible to perform a range of tasks, including reading, painting, recognizing colors, shapes and objects - all the while blindfolded. How is this possible?
The science of Third Eye Awakening℠ and blindfold reading has been demonstrating and revolutionizing the understanding of the actual role of the two eyes as the sole visual sensory organ of our body. It is bringing back the best of India’s Vedic heritage alongside modern education. It brings one to the question of differences in the cognitive processes involved in reading with the physical eyes versus reading with the Third Eye.
“Just like the two eyes you have, you have a third possibility to perceive the whole world... Science of Third Eye Awakening℠ is not a miracle. If only one person does it, it is miracle. If everyone starts doing, it is a science. Third Eye is not just used for seeing alone. It can
be used even to hear, touch, feel, work.
Third Eye is a powerful new possibility.
It is called the Third Eye because the
moment it is activated the first thing
that happens is you will be able to see
with your two eyes closed."
What Happens During Blindfold Reading?
Normal reading (reading with eyes) is a three-step process:
- The physical eye perceives the written words.
- Information about the words is sent to the brain via the optic nerve.
- The brain cognizes and understands the words.
During reading with Third Eye (with physical eyes blindfolded) only two steps happen:
- The Third Eye cognizes the written words.
- This cognition is transmitted directly to the brain.
So the brain directly 'reads' or 'sees' the words through intuitive powers without any help from the physical eyes.
Transition from Seeing with Physical Eyes
to the Third Eye
Sri Nithya Ajarananda, a Nithyananda Gurukul℠ student, shares his experience of making the transition into manifesting this power of reading blindfolded:
“I did not immediately start seeing like the other kids. For me it started out mostly as an intuition. When I started reading with my eyes closed, if there is a word ‘cat’, I would start seeing a house and a cat licking a bowl of milk. So I could say it’s ‘milk’, or I could say it’s ‘cat’. So I started getting many pictures like this and slowly the words started appearing in my mind. Slowly I can just visually see the words starting to appear. Now if you show a sentence, it just slowly starts forming up, I just see it in my mind. So this is how it started.
And slowly I saw that even in my daily life I’m able to grasp things more easily. I’m able to see things with a whole new perspective itself”.
Spreading the Science: Ma Nithya
Yogamaatananda’s Blindfold Demonstration at Capitol Hill
As a 9-year-old Nithyananda Gurukul℠ student, Ma Nithya Yogamaatananda demonstrated the ability to read blindfolded at Business Advocacy summit - Global Achievers Conclave.
Before a stunned audience of over 50 high profile people from all over the USA, including doctors, surgeons, medical researchers, bankers, investors and government officials who had gathered for the business summit, Ma Nithya Yogamaatananda successfully demonstrated the power of Third Eye Awakening℠ by reading a book completely blindfolded! At a speed that can be considered good for a 9-year-old reading even with open eyes, Ma Nithya Yogamaatananda read out whole sections from news articles, business cards and other content supplied by her awestruck audience, some of whom called her a prodigy. All the readings were
done using double blindfolds and eye pads to ensure that the readings were foolproof and credible.
Dr. Srilekha Attests as a Witness to Blindfold Reading
“It is a fool-proof demonstration where it’s ensured that they don’t see through any gaps by using eye patches and a double blind. The kids read better than any one of us with perfect vision would do with open eyes! To substantiate the statement, they are reading languages which they have never been exposed to earlier, reading perfectly with books kept behind the head and much more.”
Dr. Srilekha is an obstetrician and gynecologist based in Bengaluru who is an established practitioner in her field.
Implications of Blind Fold Reading
The medical, academic and business fraternity is highly excited and enthusiastic about the implications of this emerging science for various fields e.g. education, adult training, assisting the blind, just to name a few. Representatives from various fields have come forward with support to facilitate research and development for taking this science to the world.
Ma Nithya Yogamaatananada is one of hundreds of children at Nithyananda Gurukul℠ who have successfully demonstrated extrasensory powers – like blindfold reading – and using it to experience life in a richer way than we ever thought possible. This exceptional school has won acclaim for the flowering of a generation of super-achievers who have successfully demonstrated a range of extraordinary powers, amazing creativity, and the ability to absorb new concepts much faster than normal.
In addition to revolutionizing education, Third Eye Awakening℠ has huge implications – it is possible that visually disabled may be able to read books without Braille. It is also possible that doctors may be able to diagnose patients through Third Eye scanning. While “superhuman” powers were well known and employed in the ancient Vedic tradition of India, modern science is still struggling to get deeper insights into this field.

Having a Telescopic Vision
Third Eye Awakening℠ is the beginning of extraordinary powers. The vision with the Third Eye is not the same as the vision with the two eyes. When Kundalini Shakti is raised and brought, not only to the Third Eye, but to three points, extraordinary vision manifests as a side effect. There are two points on sides of forehead and one in the exact center of the brow. There are two components present in everyone - the man component, which is the patterns, fears, anger, desires, laziness, tiredness, etc. The other part is the Bhagavan particle, the consciousness. Kundalini is the inner potential energy everyone has, the reflection of Bhagavan in them, the Bhagavan particle in them.
'Chakshu' is the power which sees through the eyes. Eyes are different, Chakshu is different. When the Kundalini is brought and kept in the Third Eye point and all the three points in the brow are connected, thus opening up the entire energy circuit, different powers start expressing through the Third Eye.
Third Eye Awakening℠ is the beginning of extraordinary powers. The vision with the Third Eye is not the same as the vision with the two eyes.
The ability to see happenings on another planet is one of the powers. The ability to see through the Third Eye comes from the Oneness with the Whole. Just by bringing awareness on a distant object, like another planet in the galaxy, and connecting with it, its details can be known remotely.
