There are many posts regarding the use and history of Bindi by women in India and Tilak (tear drop) by men.
This post is to give a clear perspective.
- bindi and tilak have been used in india for ages more than 10,000 years
- vedic seers of ancient India with a strong sense of perception and knowledge devised rituals
- rituals were designed so that the common folk would be out of way of worldly harm and pressures.
- bindi is applied on the forehead between the center of the eyebrows especially after marriage
- the woman applying is reminded of her increased responsibilities and duties to the family every day
- you cannot lead a woman wearing a bindi astray - she cannot be hypnotized
- she begets the love and caring of her husband everyday and eternally - the divorce rate in india is below 0.1 % and in the west nearing 50%
- the application of the dot stimulates the pineal gland (third eye) and balances the left and right brain hemispheres ~its placement is behind the eye brows in the center of the brain
- she is sensible to take major decisions and has always had a say no wonder what is portrayed by the mainstream media not so worthy intellectuals
- our body and all matter is waves ~ light~ sound ~vibrations at the quantum level and till date nothing written in Vedas {The source code of all knowledge} has been proven wrong Perceptive people from all over the world are coming back to the basics and to Nature- to name a few yoga , meditation and ayurveda (herbal cures)
- hinduism is not a religion but a way of life - mother of all religions rather civilizations
