It has numerous extrasensory potentials like precognition, psychokinesis, extrasensory perception etc. According to Sriram Sharma Acharya, human mind is indeed a miracle of consciousness that can visualize and traverse anywhere in the infinite expansion of the cosmos in nanoseconds. It can acquire unlimited knowledge and is endowed with super natural potentials. In this study, it is theorized that supernatural powers of the mind can be attained by activating some extrasensory centers of human body with the help of some yogic exercises such as meditation and <em>sadhanas</em>. According to yogic texts, <em>Agya Chakra</em> referred as the ‘third eye’ or the ‘sixth sense’. The <em>yoga shastras </em>describe the position of the <em>Agya Chakra</em> in the inner core of the brain deep behind the <em>bhru-madhya</em> (center between the two eyebrows). The view of the expert of yoga, clairvoyance, telepathy, extra-terrestrial communication etc. can be bestowed by the activation of <em>agya chakra</em>. The exponents of <em>dhyan-yoga</em> regard <em>Agya Chakra</em> as the core of self-realization and the centre for the linkage of individual consciousness with the omnipresent supreme-consciousness. Indian <em>rishi-munis </em>who, by has deep contemplation of yogic <em>sadhanas, </em>they had awakened the supernormal powers of their mind and become the masters of many <em>ridhi-siddhis</em>. In this paper, researchers have made an effort to explore the techniques that one could attain the superhuman <em>siddhis</em> from the dedicated yoga <em>sadhanas</em> through activation of <em>agya chakra</em>, these sages of yore had done.</p> ER -
