Bindu (Sanskrit: ) is a term meaning "point" or "dot". Bindu may also refer to:
Bindu (Sanskrit: बिंदु) is a Sanskrit word meaning "point" or "dot". A bindi is a small, ornamental, devotional dot applied to the forehead in Hinduism.
In metaphysics, Bindu is considered the point at which creation begins and may become unity. It is also described as "the sacred symbol of the cosmos in its unmanifested state." Bindu is the point around which the mandala is created, representing the universe.
Bindu is often merged with [seed] (or sperm) and ova. In the Yoga Chudamani Upanishad Bindu is a duality, with a white Bindu representing shukla (sperm) and a red Bindu representing maharaj (menses). The white Bindu resides in the bindu visarga and is related to Shiva and the Moon, while the red Bindu resides in the muladhara chakra and is related to Shakti and the Sun. In yoga, the union of these two parts results in the ascension of kundalini to the sahasrara.
In Tantra, Bindu (or Bindu visarga—"falling of the drop") is a point at the back of the head where Brahmins grow their tuft of hair. This point is below the sahasrara chakra and above the ajna chakra, and is represented by a crescent moon with a white drop. It represents the manifestation of creations such as consciousness.
Bindu (born 17 April 1951) is an actress in Indian cinema who was popular in the 1970s, receiving several award nominations. She has acted in over 160 movies in a career that spanned four decades, and is most remembered for her role as Shabnam in Kati Patang (1970).
Bindu was born to film producer Nanubhai Desai and his wife Jyotsna at a small village called Hanuman Bhagda in the district of Valsad in the Western Indian state of Gujarat. Bindu's road to success was not an easy one. Her father died when she was 3. Being the eldest daughter, the burden of earning money fell on her shoulders.
Bindu made her debut in Anpadh (1962), playing a young college graduate. She would have been about 11 at the time, which places her birth date in dispute.
Bindu had early successes with Ittefaq and Do Raaste in 1969. From here she went on to write her success story with Shakti Samanta's Kati Patang (1970), where she had a sizzling cabaret dance, "Mera Naam Shabnam" to her credit; a number which is even today remembered as one of the highlights of the film.
was driving down a lonely road
one dark and stormy night.
I was fighting the wheel and it started to feel
like something just ain't right.
When up ahead in the distance
I saw an approaching light.
Coming out of the rain was a speeding train
and so begins my plight.
As that speeding train got closer I tried to look away.
I thought if I could just close my eyes,
then it might just go away.
I jerked real hard upon the wheel
and spinning round and round.
I was driving down a lonely road
one dark and stormy night.
A pair of hands from that freight car,
they snatched me up off the ground.
Oh Mama Please.
I wanna get off this train. Please take me home.
I came to in a box car & it was rockin' side to
side.
The moon she stole the darkness
and filled the space with light.
I looked around at the faces
that were lurking in the gloom.
They smiled and spoke in whispers
of my impending doom.
They gathered all around me
then they kicked me to the ground.
I started to fight, but hands held me tight
and they shoved and pushed me down.
They started in to singing low then went into a dance.
As their shadows twisted on the wall I fell into a
trance.
Oh Mama Please.
I wanna get off this train. Please take me home.
All at once they screamed out loud
and they shut there eyes tight.
It broke the trance, I saw my chance
and I dove into the night.
As I tumbled through the darkness
contemplating what went wrong
I heard their tortured voices
they were singing out this song.
Oh Mama Please.
I wanna get off this train. Please take me home.
