This mudra is said to help in coordinating the right and the left brain hemispheres.
I was  wondering about why the mudra got its name and thought that there could be a connection with the Agya chakra .

(Chakras are energy centers of a body.There are 7 main chakras and the Agya chakra is represented between the brows.It is the centre of wisdom and clarity of thought.The energy of this chakra is called as the Hakini sakthi.The presiding deity of this brow chakra is Ardhanarishwara Shiva who is male on the right side and female on the left - representing that both the male and female principles are complementary ).
