As I understand (bibliographic source accuracy not withstanding) it
simply means "Point". ("Bindu", single point)
That's why they're a small spot sort of thing.
(Now, whether the POINT is a point of concentration, point of
nothingness or infinite wisdom, third eye, averter of the evil eye,
and no less than 43 other ravings of one "authority" or other with
something to sell, some philosophy to validify, a grant proposal to
support, or some other other personal rationalization ... I have
neither opinion nor clue. Don't even ask! The interpretations are
all over the place!)
