All Hindus have witnessed the presence of bells of various sizes in our temples

.. We also see and hear bells during pooja session especially during

Deeparadhana. Some devotees ring the bell at the entrance to the temple while

entering and also while leaving the temple precinct.

The bells are made of either copper or brass and they re dome-shped.

 

What is the ignificance of the bells, and their sounds and sizes in Hinduism ?

Why only males ( and not females) are entrusted with the ringing of the bell ?

 

jai shree krishna !

Jayasankarji,

 

Thanks. But I think there is more to it than what is contained in the

above explanation.

It is made of various metals including cadmium, lead, copper, zinc, nickel,

chromium and. 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 and right brain. The moment you ring

that bell, bell produces sharp but lasting sound which lasts for minimum of

seven seconds in echo mode good enough to touch your seven healing centers or

chakras in your body.

> The moment bell sound happens your brain is emptied of all thoughts.

Invariably you will enter state of Trans state where you are very receptive.

This Trans state is the one with awareness. You are so occupied in mind that

only way to awaken you is with a Shock! And trust me Bell works as Anti-dote to

your mind.

> 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.

>

> Bells had other reasons also, as most of the old temples never had doors and

were located near hills and forest there would have been distinct possibilities

for animals, Insects, birds to take shelter. But bell sound doesn’t allow any

of the living creatures to sustain inside for a long time. So don’t be

surprised if you find Old temples still brimming with energy inside with less

dust, no sign of insects or animals.
