The pineal gland was the last endocrine gland to have its function discovered. Its location deep in the brain seemed to indicate its importance. This combination led to its being a "mystery" gland with myth, superstition and even metaphysical theories surrounding its perceived function.
The pineal gland is occasionally associated with the sixth chakra (also called Ajna or the third eye chakra in yoga). It is believed by some to be a dormant organ that can be awakened to enable "telepathic" communication.
In the physical body the eye views objects upside down. It sends the image of what it observes to the brain which interprets the image and makes it appear right side-up to us.
But the human body has another physical eye whose function has long been recognized by humanity. It is called the 'Third Eye' which in reality is the Pineal Gland. It is long thought to have mystical powers. Many consider it the Spiritual Third Eye, our Inner Vision.

acc to yoga they say that 3rd eye is situated in the middle of the head,it can be said true b'cos this eye controls the emotions acc.to the vedas.this indicates to the pitutary gland which is also known as the master gland as it controls the harmonal secretion of other glands under which some of the emotion controling glands also come like adrelin glands etc.it is situated in the middle of the forehead at the middle of the brain.and we can say that due pineal glands we talk about the 3rd eye b'cos the shape of cells is all like eyes and located at the front middle of the eye.

Its just a concious & you can feel it you cant view in third eye. If you do meditation you will come to know about it. Its very beneficial if done with proper care according to the instructions of your guru. Its also called as agnai chakra. There are many chakras in our body. One among them is this agnai chakra which a common man calls it as third eye. If you are really interested go to a proper guru & learn more. Its all in meditation. Its wonderful & ultimate. No words to express.

No, we don't. As like anything else, meaning got changed in the translation. In certain types of yogic meditations, it is said that focusing on the center of our forehead helps in the power of concentration and helps see everything clearer. This became interpreted as the third eye.

The pineal gland, which is located deep in the brain, is sometimes referred to as the "third eye". The pineal gland produces melatonin, which helps regulate the circadian rhythm. In birds and reptiles the gland is located near the surface and appears to actually be light sensitive, but in humans it takes its cues from the eyes. Nevertheless, the human pineal gland contains cells similar to those found in primitive eyes.

Third eye is just a symbol. Practising yoga our senses become strong so that we can predict many occurances. Our intution also grows stronger. This helps us in planning.

Third eye is related to spirituality not science. If you concentrate a lot, your brain projects a third eye for you. Meditation can work wonders.

I would call it intuition. That which precedes an event that has not yet happened. I Think that everyone has had premonitions, but don't understand why. I also believe that we have some control over things to come. If you change the way you look at things, the things around you change. Good question!

we dont have third eye and we never had third eye anywhere in our body. Don't become fool by such great dialougs.
But for sure, we have third mind, we have third sense. you can feel something special and you can even live in that moment but you cannot have third eye. Don't try to be like Lord Siva.
You have have third sense, you have third mind. Which is why when you see a flower, or blue sky or beautiful nature- you become calm and restfull for a while

I have heard that the pituitary gland lines up with the center of the forehead and may have some links with intuition.
