World Bindi Day
2023-10-15 00:01 - 23:59 (America/New_York)
Come celebrate World Bindi Day this October 15, 2023! The bindi is a very important symbol to Hindus. It comes from the Sanskrit word “bindu” (meaning point, drop, or dot) and is also called bottu, kumkum, indoor, teep & tikli. The bindi is placed on top of the Ajna chakra (brow/third eye chakra) and enhances its ability. This allows Hindus to intercept the truth, let go of their ego, let go of false labels, and go deep within to reach their guru/wisdom. The bindi also serves as a reminder to keep Bhagwan in our thoughts as it is on the third eye.
How to Participate
Step 1: Take a photo of yourself rocking a bindi. This includes tikka, tilak, chandan, sticker, sindoor or bhasma
Step 2: Tag HSC @hindustudentscouncil
Step 3: Include the following hashtags in the caption: #worldbindiday, #missionbindi, #bindipride, and #beautifulbindi

Om bhurbhuvah swah tatsaviturvarenyam bhargo devasya dhimahi dhiyo yo nah prachodayat.
We meditate on Brahman (Bhagwan), who is the giver of life, destroyer of sufferings, embodiment of happiness, who is bright, luminous like the Sun, who is glorious and the destroyer of negative tendencies. May Bhagwan guide our intellect (Buddhi) in the right direction.
