News India Live, Digital Desk: Spiritual Significance: When we go to the temple, the bell ringing at the main gate or near the sanctum sanctorum is an essential part of our devotion. Its melodious sound not only gives us peace, but is also a medium to express our faith in God. But have you ever noticed that often a special shape is formed on the upper part of this bell – that is Garuda Dev. It is not just a decoration, but it has a deep spiritual and mythological significance. In Dharma scriptures, Garuda Dev is considered a special vehicle of Lord Vishnu. He is not only his vehicle, but also his best devotee. It is believed that Garuda Dev is extremely veg and can reach anywhere in the blink of an eye. His specialty makes him a messenger of prayers. For this reason, when we ring the bell in the temple, it is believed that our prayer coming out of the sound of that bell directly reaches Garuda Dev. Garuda Dev reaches Lord Vishnu without any delay with that prayer and makes them aware of our emotions and devotion. In a way, Garuda acts as a bridge between the bell and the devotee, and the devotee and God. They act to take our call to that supreme power. There are many spiritual and scientific importance to ring the bell in the temple. The sound of the bell is considered similar to the sound (ॐ) of the universe, which removes negative energy and transmits positivity. It concentrates for worship, purifies the mind and invokes divine powers. It is believed that with the sound of the bell, the atmosphere of the temple is holy and the insect-mood also stays away. So the next time you ring the bell in the temple, remember that you are not just removing the sound from a metal instrument, but through Garuda Dev, we are reaching your faith and call directly to the supremeness, for which we come to the temple for his grace. This is an ancient and deep way to establish a direct dialogue between your devotion and God.
