Bells



Whenever we hear the bell sound from temple, we assume that it is a sign of indication for giving prasadham.  But is it the only reason for having bell in temple?

The answer is NO! As in case of the structure of the temple, the bells are also having scientific reasons. The temple bells are made of a mixture of various metals like Cadmium, Copper, Zinc, Nickel, Lead, Chromium, Manganese. Making a bell using a combination of these metals is not enough. The real science lies in the percentage at which of each of these metals are used in making the bell.



A Bell’s ring clears our mind and helps us stay sharp and keep our full concentration on devotional purpose while we are entering the inner sanctum. These bells are made in such a way that when they produce a sound it creates a unity in the Left and Right parts of our brains. The moment we ring the bell , it produces a sharp and Lasting sound which’ lasts for minimum of 7 seconds in echo mode. (if you found a bell whose sound doesn’t last for 7 seconds.. then it’s not made in perfect way).



The duration of echo is good enough to activate all our seven healing centres of our body(7 chakras defined in Yoga).  This results in emptying our brain from all our thoughts and helps us in entering a very sharp state where we can have good level of concentration.



Before you enter temple to awake you and prepare you for taste of awareness is the real reason behind temple bell. In other words “it helps to ring to wake yourself Up!”. To an extent Fragrant generators, Low light lamps all form Ecosystem to create awareness.
