Is Gandhari Vidye / blindfold vision real, or just a scam?
I recently came across ads and programs claiming to teach something called “Gandhari Vidye”, “third eye activation”, or “intuition training” — where kids can identify colors, read, or recognize objects with their eyes closed.
Some of these are even promoted by well-known meditation or spiritual organizations, and they show demos where children seem to do it successfully while blindfolded.
They also claim this can be learned in just a few days.
I’m honestly confused:
- Is it scientifically possible to see or identify colors with closed eyes?
- Are these demonstrations real, or is there some trick involved?
- Has anyone actually verified this in a controlled setting?
Would love to hear from people who’ve looked into this seriously.
