0:07 thank you Hindu women's sport a colored dot or a bindi on the center of their forehead the phrase Bindi has its roots in the
0:17 word Bindu meaning a DOT or a drop now there isn't any hard or fast rule on the size of the DOT usually married women put on a larger
0:27 one compared to an unmarried individual what is the spiritual significance of this Dot they're primarily two reasons that show
0:37 us the spiritual significance the first one has an upanishadic linkage the yoga upanishads describe the various
0:49 nerve centers in the body the Sanskrit term for this nerve centers is called a chakra these nerve centers are not physical
0:58 locations but energy centers there are a total of seven nerve centers muladhara swadeshtana manipura Anna vishuddha agnya sahasrara
1:13 the one between the eyebrows is called the agnia or the sixth chakra it is a focal point for meditation the Gita refers to this nerve center and
1:24 directs a spiritual aspirin to bring focus into the middle of this sixth chakra or the space between the eyebrows in doing so the individual experiences
1:34 an infinite vastness and solitude try it for yourself try it out the Gita says a true spiritual aspirant brings attention to this sixth chakra
1:46 even when taking the last breath Krishna the preceptor of Gita says in chapter 8 verse 10. one who at the time of death fully fixes us or focuses the
2:00 Life Energy between the eyebrows and contemplates on the Divinity or the cosmic person with undeviating attention and full devotion certainly attains
2:10 Everlasting liberation is nothing but an external activation and a symbol of this nerve center or sixth chakra
2:19 now the second reason for wearing a bindi is symbolic it's a representation of a face in a woman's life married women sport a bigger one
2:27 compared to someone who is unmarried married women may also have a bindi near the hair partition about the hair partition and closer to
2:38 the center of the skull is the seventh nerve center or chakra or called sahasrara this is the no Center through which life
2:47 force enters the body and for a true spiritualist it is the nerve center through which life force exits the body as well again Krishna
2:58 describes this in chapter 8. a bindi near the partition denotes a commitment to maximize spiritual intellect
3:08 in the role of a wife or a mother now what about the color of the Bindi usually the Bindi is red in color red has the longest wavelength or
3:20 highest intensity and over the years this became the color of choice the authentic bindis are a mixture of turmeric and lemon giving it the red
3:30 color and not the colored chemicals have we somehow find nowadays now some do not wear a red colored Bindi
3:38 but instead go for an ash colored one this is because they like to represent and be reminded of the basic truth the fact that at the end of the day at
3:49 the end of this life we are nothing but a small pile of Dead Ash it is not uncommon to see even men sporting a dart between the middle of
3:59 their eyebrows now the belief that bindi's mandatory has diluted with exposure to World cultures many now consider a bindi to be
4:09 optional and some other experiment with various shapes and colors if a bindi can serve as a focal point to
4:18 experience tranquility why not make it a part of your regular facial appearance and expression thank you enjoy the journey and talk to
4:30 you soon [Music]
