Abstract
Pineal gland or “spiritual third eye” is regarded as the gateway of spiritual life
as per ancient concepts about the soul. Recently, modern neuroscience has proven that
pineal gland is not only the melatonin-secreting neuroendocrine organ which controls
the circardian rhythm, but it also has mystical and energetic associations with spirituality.
It acts as a tremendous coordinator between molecular, hormonal, physiological, and
chemical rhythmic orchestra. Thus, in this article, by highlighting the relation between
ancient Indian methodology and modern chronomedicine, the author describes the odyssey
of antiquity to modern science.
