#TempleBells
Bells are hung outside the temples because the sound of the bell is considered auspicious which welcomes divinity and dispels evil. It produces the sound ॐ, the universal name of the Lord. The devotee rings the bell as soon as he enters the temple.
By ringing the bell, he informs the deity of his arrival. Children love jumping up or being carried high in order to reach the bell. Every morning and evening, aarti takes place and at that time apart from ringing many small bells, large bells are also used.
The sound of bells energises the immediate vicinity of a temple. The ringing bell ineffably attracts people's attention. If they happen to pass by during aarti, regardless of whether deity is their Ishtadeva or not, they offer slight bow or place their right hand on their chest.
Very few people are aware that hanging bells in a temple not just has spiritual, but also scientific reasons. When bells ring, a vibration is created in the atmosphere, which spreads too far with the flow of winds.
A Temple bell has a scientific phenomena; it is not just your ordinary metal. It is made of various metals including cadmium, lead, copper, zinc, nickel, chromium, manganese. The proportion at which each one of them mixed is real science behind a bell.
Each of these bells is made to produce such a distinct sound that it can create unity of your left & right brain. The moment you ring the bell, it produces sharp sound which lasts for minimum 7sec in echo mode, good enough to touch your 7 healing centres or chakras in your body.
Your brain is emptied of all thoughts. Invariably you will enter state of Tran’s where you are very receptive. This Trans state is the one with awareness. You are so occupied in mind that the only way to awaken you is with a Shock! Bell works as Anti-dote to your mind.
According to the Skanda Purana, by ringing the bells in a temple, the sins of humans are removed. Bells are believed to be the symbol of Kaal. According to Dharam Shastras, when the time of destruction will come, sound of millions of bells ringing will be generated.
