Why do we have Bells in Temples ?
People who are visiting the temple should and will Ring the
bell before entering the inner sanctum or Garbha Griha where the main deity is
placed. According to Agama Sastra, the bell is used to give sound for keeping
evil forces away and the ring of the bell is pleasant to God. However, the
scientific reason behind bells is that their ring clears our mind and helps us
stay sharp and keep our full concentration on devotional purpose. 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 enduring sound which lasts for minimum of 7 seconds in echo mode. The
duration of echo is good enough to activate all the seven healing centres in
our body. This results in emptying our brain from all negative thoughts. Hence bells are used in the Poojas performed at home
too.
