The space between eyebrows is called lalATa. This name can be interpreted in two ways. It can mean Lord shiva who has an eye in His forehead. Hence, this name can mean SHE who is worshipped by Lord shiva. Here, nayana can also mean knowledge. Yogis are known to meditate using a posture called khechari mudra. In this posture the tongue is rolled backwards towards the base and eyes focus on the space between the eyebrows. In this state, mind is interiorized and made still, and the yogi is absorbed in the self knowledge. SHE is worshipped by such yogis. In the jAbalyupaniShad, the great R^ishhi yAj~navAlkya while answering to atri, stated that, if parameshvara is worshipped in avimukta (which means vAraNAsi and also space between eyebrows) the worshipper attains the ultimate puruSha. It means that SHE will be realized by those who worship HER by the way mentioned by yAj~navAlkya mahaR^ishhi.
