APPEARANCE

“Third Eye Chakra 6-Ajna is white in color, with two white petals. Inside the pericarp is the Shakti Hakini. It is depicted with a white moon, six faces, and six arms holding a book, a skull, a drum, and a rosary, while making the gestures associated with granting boons and dispelling fears.[2] The downward pointing triangle above her contains a moon-white lingum. In some systems the deity Ardhanarishvara, a hermaphrodite form of Shiva–Shakti, symbolising the primordial duality of subject and object, resides within the lingum. Above that triangle is another smaller triangle containing the bija mantra, Aum.

BIJA OR SEED MANTRA

The seed syllable is Aum, or “Pranava Om,” the supreme sound.[3]

PETALS

Third Eye Chakra 6-Ajna has two white petals, said to represent the psychic channels (nadis) Ida and Pingala, which meet the central Sushumna nadi before rising to the Crown Chakra Sahasrara. The letter “Ham” is written in white on the left petal and represents Shiva. “Ksham”, written in white on the right petal, represents Shakti. These two petals also represent the manifest and the unmanifest mind, and are sometimes said to represent the pineal and pituitary glands.

Ajna has a petal dedicated to the sun, the other to the moon.

FUNCTION

Ajna translates as “command”, and is considered the eye of intuition and intellect.[4] When something is seen in the mind’s eye, or in a dream, it is being seen by Ajna. It is a bridge that links gurus with disciples, allowing mind communication to occur between two people. The sense organ and action organ associated with Ajna is the mind.

As Hindus believe that spiritual energy from the environment enters their body through this gateway, they take great care to protect it with spiritually positive protecting forces. The various religious marks on the foreheads of men and women belonging to the Hindu faith (like holy ash, namam, vermilion etc.) are the blessed spiritual prasadam of their respective forms of the Hindu gods.

Meditation upon Ajna supposedly grants siddhis, or occult powers, to quickly enter another body at will and to become omniscient. He realizes unity with Brahman; and he has the ability to create, preserve, and destroy the three worlds.”wiki
