Vastu Tips: Ringing the bell in the puja room is a time-honoured part of Indian tradition. Whether in grand temples or small home shrines, every puja customarily begins with the sound of a bell. While many see this as a mere religious formality, it actually carries deep spiritual, mental, and even physical significance, something not everyone is aware of.
According to Vastu Shastra, the sound of a bell is highly beneficial, and its regular use is encouraged.
Pandit Hitendra Kumar Sharma, a Bhopal-based astrologer and Vastu consultant, explains that the sound produced by ringing the bell brings peace and energy into the environment. It creates sound vibrations that resonate throughout the house, dispelling negative energy and inviting a sense of calm and positivity.
Mental And Emotional Benefits
The act of ringing the bell during puja also helps sharpen focus. If your mind tends to wander during prayer, the sound brings it back, helping improve concentration.
It is believed that the vibrations activate the brain, making the ritual more meaningful and mentally engaging. This is why bells are rung at both the beginning and end of a puja ceremony.
Healing The Home’s Atmosphere
In homes affected by ongoing tension, disputes, or negative emotions, ringing the bell regularly in the puja space is believed to have a purifying effect.
According to Vastu Shastra, it can gradually reduce conflict and negativity, making it a simple yet powerful remedy for restoring peace at home.
The Right Bell Matters
The metal from which the bell is made also plays a crucial role. Bells crafted from brass or bronze are considered ideal, as the sound they produce is said to spread positive vibrations more effectively. This is why such bells are commonly found in temples as they enhance both the spiritual atmosphere and the efficacy of the puja itself.
Calling The Divine
Beyond the physical and mental benefits, ringing the bell is also symbolic. It serves as an invitation to the divine, a way to alert the gods and goddesses that the puja is about to begin.
According to traditional beliefs, this act pleases the deity and draws divine attention, increasing the likelihood that prayers and wishes will be fulfilled.
