Why Do Temples Have Bells And Why Do We Ring Bell Before Entering The Temple?

Whenever we enter a temple, before anything else, the most immediate action we take is to ring the bell hanging on the door of the temple. But have you ever thought about why temples have bells and why we ring the bell before entering the temple? According to religious belief, ringing the bell awakens consciousness in the idols of the deities installed in the temple, after which their worship becomes more fruitful and effective. The captivating and enchanting sound of the bell holds the power to take the mind-brain towards spirituality, and by connecting with the rhythm of the bell the mind experiences immense peace. During the prayer or worship in the temple, bells are played with a special rhythm and melody, which gives a feeling of peace and divine presence to the people present there.

It is believed that the universal sound that was produced when the creation began, the bell symbolizes that sound. Somewhere it is also written that when the apocalypse comes, at that time also the same sound will resonate. The bell in the temple is also considered a symbol of time.

There is not only a religious reason behind the installation of bells in the temples, but scientific reasons also give the basis for their sound. The bell in the temple is not made of any normal metal, but it is made from a mixture of many metals, such as cadmium, lead, copper, zinc, nickel, chromium, and manganese. All the science is hidden in the proportion of these metals because when we ring the temple's bell, its echo lasts for more than seven seconds. And in these seven seconds, this sound relaxes the activity of our brain and interacts with our seven chakras. So generally we can say that we ring the bell before entering the temple to create positive energy in our body.

Also, scientists say that when the bell is rung, positive vibrations are created in the atmosphere, which travels far and wide, giving the advantage that all the bacteria, viruses, and micro-organisms coming into the area are destroyed, resulting in the surrounding environment becomes pure. Therefore, where the bells are heard regularly, that environment remains pure and holy, helps to remove negativity or negative forces, and opens doors to prosperity.
