Bindi

Yeah, it's the center.

And then the last place that you might see it is if you go to India, the women wear a Bindi.

between their eyebrows yeah why do they wear a bindi between their eyebrows to keep them reminded right to keep them reminded of that point in which all of this has come from right and it sits at agnya chakra yeah which is the the seat of seeing So these bindus are everywhere, right? Symbolically, they sit in so many different places within the yoga tradition, except so often it's just kind of dismissed or not even

noticed.

India is coming up.

Can you tell us about that? Bindi's? Yeah, Bindi's, but that's a real passion thing.

And

I used to fly for the airlines for sort of 30-something years, so it's sort of bringing a passion to travel and bringing people together.

And today's a great day to pause and reflect on that and to say to the family, no doubt you miss him because Queensland is missing, but we're better as a state because of him.

Understandably, everyone talks about Bindi and Robert and Terry, but I also think for his father, Bob, who really did instil that love of all things wildlife.

My thoughts are with you, mate.

And the former Prime Minister, John Howard's paid his respect too.

Sure.

Bob, because he actually started the zoo.

He started Steve down this path, encouraged him, nurtured him, and now, of course, Bindi and Robert.

And Terry, continuing on with the legacy of Australia Zoo, I mean, there's a lot of fond memories of Steve

Pigging.

What about this? Guys, what about running across, no shoes, running across the grass with bindis? Bindi

lawn.

You've got to get, yeah.

I always forget it exists.

And the original and the original episode she had the Bindi as well.

Yes, yes, that's right.

That's a even though Roddenberry said, you know, no religion that was even in the 60s.

One of the another character that they pulled from TOS, much more minor than voice, is the beta shift con officer, Lieutenant Rada, the woman who is some some South Asian, like maybe Indian.

She has a Bindi.

This was a character in the original series in TOS.

The episode that which survives, there was a woman who had a Indian or Pakistani somewhere from that area.

Um, and, uh, yeah, I can't, uh, Naomi, somebody played her in TOS.

I can't remember, but she was very, um, very distinctive in that she was on the bridge and she had the Bindi.

Right.

And so, uh, in this episode, it's really cool to see that character, um, you know, prior here.
