Human is one of the most complex creatures in the world and a lot of research is going on to understand this complex creature. A lot of body functions of humans are a mystery and till date, there is no respectful answer available with anybody. Medical science does a lot of progress in the last 100 years and medical instruments that they have invented are fabulous. The test which they perform from these instruments gives very valuable, life-saving information. It is very difficult to obtain this information without these instruments and for a common man, this information is more than magic. No doubt this development in medical science saves life of lots of people but think of the time when there are no such instruments and medical science was in his earlier stage, how difficult it was to save a life at that time.  So with the advancement of technology, realistic, meaningful and useful information has been achieving. Which can be used for the betterment of life?

We can hear and see things according to our strength which is inherent in all of us. The thing which lies outside our range, simply we cannot detect them but still, they exit, directly and indirectly, influences us too.   Similarly,  if we talk about these body chakras, whose existence is not accepted by the modern medical science and they remain as there until a more sophisticated instrument have not been invented which gives realistic information regarding them. Basically they work at a very low unit therefore it is very hard to detect them but no doubt they exist and influence us too. Scholars and philosophers have different opinions regarding not even their position in the body but there Nos too. Till now no standard is applied to them, therefore, chakras are more considered as a philosophy rather than treatment technique. But these chakras are energy centers and have great importance in our life. If our chakras became unbalance then they not only ruin our health but social and mental life too. For a healthy body and mind, your chakras should be balanced and strong. These chakras are basically energy points.

Hindu, chines and some ancient civilization agreed upon the existence of different types of energy points in our body. These energy points are further classified according to their shape, size, and position. These energy points are called chakras. In spirituality, they play a major role and consider responsible for the personality and characteristics of persons. All the illness and diseases enters in the body through these chakras. So all the chakras must be balanced and stable for disease-free life. These body chakras are interrelated to the different glands of our body and these glands have a marvelous effect on our body. These glands make different types of chemical which is known as hormones. The main works of these glands are to make a different hormone that stabilizes the mind and body, protect against diseases and forms our personality.

Dr. Richard Restak clinical professor of Neurology at the George Washington university America explains that the Hypothalamus gland in the mind and Adrenal gland above our kidney controls not only our body functions but our thinking and thought process also. Hypothalamus gland in the mind is very close to Pituitary gland. These glands in the chakra system are interrelated to third eye chakra (Aagya Chakra) and Adrenal gland above the kidney is interrelated to Solar Plexus chakra in Hindhi Manipur Chakara or third chakra or yellow chakra. All chakras more specifically glands does not have any direct effect on our body like our heart, Lungs, Mind, Ear and Mouth etc have. We can still leave without their proper working. but they are more like the colors which gives life to lifeless paintings. Imagine a painting which is without colors and what happens when it is filled with the color. Now the painting becomes alive and attracts everyone. Similarly the hormones which are produced by these glands have marvelous effects on our body system. Our personality became such that it will attract others. To live a happy and enjoyable life these all chakras must be balance and strong. Solar plexus disorder produce many problems.
