Significance Of Temple Bells
The sound of a bell is considered auspicious in many cultures around the world. Bells are also significant in Hinduism. It is a common practice among most people to enter the temple by ringing the bell. Temple bells are huge structures and the loud sound produced from it is considered extremely auspicious.
Ringing the bell and making other sounds with the help of conch shell or other musical instrument is a significant practice in Hinduism. Every sound made during the puja or while worshipping the deities, has a scientific reason behind it. For example the temple bell, when rung produces the sound "Om". Om is the regarded as the beginning of all sounds which are present in the Universe. It is also the sound of the Supreme God.
There are many such daily rituals of worship which we follow but we do not know the meaning or significance of these rituals. Ringing the temple bell is also one of these rituals which is followed without knowing the reason behind it. So, let us find out the significance of the temple bells.
LUNAR ECLIPSE MYTHS AROUND THE WORLD
The
Science
Behind
Temple
Bells
Almost
every
ritual
in
Hinduism
has
a
scientific
reason
behind
it.
Temple
bells
are
no
exceptions.
To
start
with
temple
bells
are
not
made
of
ordinary
metal.
It
is
made
up
of
a
mix
of
various
metals
like
cadmium,
zinc,
lead,
copper,
nickel,
chromium
and
manganese.
The
proportion
in
which
each
metal
is
mixed
to
create
a
temple
bell
is
the
science
behind
it.
Each
of
these
metals
is
mixed
in
such
a
way
that
when
the
bell
is
rung,
each
metal
produces
a
distinct
sound
that
creates
unity
of
your
left
and
right
brain.
Therefore the moment you ring the bell, it produces a sharp and long lasting sound which lasts for about seven seconds. The echo of the sound from the bell touches your seven healing centres or chakras of the body. So, the moment the bell is rung, your brain goes blank for a few seconds and you enter a stage of trance. In this state of trance, your brain becomes extremely receptive and aware.
Thus, when you enter the temple after ringing the bell, you become aware of your spiritual self.
Spiritual
Significance
Of
Temple
Bells
As
we
start
the
daily
ritualistic
worship,
we
ring
the
bell
and
chant
the
following
mantra:
Aagamaarthamtu
devaanaam
|
gamanaarthamtu
rakshasaam
Kurve
ghantaaravam
tatra
|
devataahvaahna
lakshanam
This means, "I ring this bell indicating the invocation of divinity, So that virtuous and noble forces enter (my home and heart); and the demonic and evil forces from within and without, depart."
It is believed that the echoes from the temple bells drive out all kinds of negative forces and energies from the mind of the person. So, when the person enters the temple to pray, he/she doesn't have any thought other than God and can pray without disturbance.
Thus, we see temple bells are extremely significant and has a strong scientific reason to be rung as a daily ritual.
