VASTU For Bell

There are actually two different types of bells, the one that we use in our homes and the other one that we see in the temples. The bells that we use in the temples of our homes are made from various metals and have various types of artistic designs but the spiritual science teaches us that a bell must only be made either from brass or copper. Also, our faith and scriptures teaches us that a bell can have the images of Nandi or Garuda crafted on the bell.

It is recommended that the bell must be built such that the sound generated from the bell must be sweet and gentle. During performing puja, a bell must be ringed throughout, from using Dhoop to performing aarti till the completion of the Puja. During performing Puja, the significance of the soothing sound produced from the beautiful and subtle drawing crafted on the bell. This drawing is the depiction of the transformations that the sound of the bell makes at the spiritual level in the atmosphere it is rang.

How the energy emitted from the bell effects the entire surrounding?

Its’ really important to understand, what kind of energy is emitted from ringing of the bell and how does it effects the surrounding in the most pure and serene way.

The Dome shaped body and the Clapper

Whenever the dome shaped body of the bell strikes with that of the clapper, the whole bunch of circles are produced called Chaitnya. The sound produced from the striking of these two parts of the bell, it also emits some frequencies in the sky from the Chaitnya. If seen with absolute awareness these frequencies can be seen in yellow colour. Also, the clapper’s stroke is believed to emit divine energy in red colour. Also, the divine particles present in the atmosphere present in the sound produced are also seen during ringing of the bell. The sound of the bell is believed to do away with the negative energy all around in the atmosphere.

As per the rituals a bell should be offered Puja during the beginning as giving an auspicious start to it. And, that is done by enchanting some spiritual verse that reads as “I am ringing this bell to invoke Deities and to drive away demons.”

What is the difference between the sound of the bell and that of the Shankh?

Now that you are clear on the significance of ringing bell, it is now important to understand the difference between blowing of Shankh and ringing of the bell. It must be very clear that the effect emitted from the bell has a great and powerful effect on the atmosphere around as it kills away all the negative vibrations from the atmosphere. In every type of Puja, sound effects have a great effect and as it make the atmosphere pure and powerful.

The sound that is emitted from the Shankh is called as Shankhanad while that of the bell sound is called as Ghantanad. But the key point is the both of them help in purifying the atmosphere to a great extent. The sound of the bell helps in such direction that it purifies the atmosphere from the downward direction while that emitted from the shankh purifies the atmosphere in the upward direction. But one thing is important that both of these are really very important during any type of Puja as both of them serve as purifying the atmosphere. So, one should never forget understanding the spiritual effect of using bell and shankha during Puja.
