Guest guest Posted February 13, 2002 Report Posted February 13, 2002 As I know the bell symbolises alertness or conciousness. Thus when one does that they are kind of attemping to go to a high level of conciousness. I dont know how the whole process works but that is one explanation.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2002 Report Posted February 13, 2002 Dear Bharani, As per mantra for ringing the bell before starting pooja, "the sound invites Devatas, and sends away Rakshasas from the place; place of pooja gets purified; also, devatas are pleased with this sound". As for big temple bells, it makes people know conduct of particular 'kaala' pooja so that they can join the worship.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2002 Report Posted February 13, 2002 My understanding is Sabda, Sparsa, Roopa Rasa and Gandha are the Pancha Gyandendria sand belongs to Manomaya Kosha. The sadhaka/upasaka has to approach the deities with Prnamaya then Manomaya and finally with Vigyanamaya Koshas. The Anandamaya Kosha is unified system bell is a symbolic representation of first ananga of manomaya kosha.
