A few days ago at the Nithya Kalyana Perumal Temple in Thiruvidanthai, I stood still as the Aarti began and the temple bell rang. The sound moved through the hall like a living force. It did not feel like just a bell. It felt like a presence that touched everything in its path.

Temple bells are made from Panchaloha, a sacred mix of five metals. Gold, silver, copper, iron and a fifth balancing metal like zinc or tin. Together, they represent the five elements of nature. Earth, water, fire, air and space. When the bell rings, all five move as one field of vibration.

A true temple bell does not simply make noise. It holds a long, clear tone that settles the mind. The gentle hum carries the rhythm of Om, the first sound of creation. It does not push. It does not demand. It brings silence in a natural way.

Many people today listen to soundtracks online, claiming to heal, attract abundance or clear energy. I checked many of them through dowsing. Most of them did not show positive energy. A few were even heavy on the field.

A real vibration cannot be manufactured by software. It is born from the right metals, the right proportions and the right intention. That is why a temple bell still holds power. It is built with devotion. It carries clarity. It is alive.
