You are right that the Pituitary is called the master gland. Thanks
for the correction. Actually though, the Pineal does regulate the
Pituitary and the Hypothalamus.

Your comment prompted me to look up the glandular functions again and
I am glad I did. In the book Sex, Nutrition and You (ghastly title
isn't it?) by Gordon S. Tesler P.H.D. he gives a very nice outline of
the functions of the glands. I am not relying solely on ole Gordy
for info but he does write well and here is what he says about the
pineal.

"Sunlight enters the eyes and triggers nerve impulses which stimulate
the pineal. The nerve impulses are fed from the pineal to the
hypothalamus and pituitary"

He also goes on to explain that melatonin is produced by the pineal.

Melatonin does seem to have an effect on Kundalini. I have noticed
here and in other Kundalini sites some comments about that. Then
Gordon goes on to say that the pineal is sometimes called the "peace
gland." Which I had never heard before but sounds good to me.
