The Deep Meaning Of The Ghanta In Hinduism

The Deep Meaning of the Ghanta in Hinduism

In Hinduism, the bell—or ghanta—is not just a ritual object. It is a sacred symbol that connects the physical world with the divine. Each part of its structure holds a spiritual meaning:

Body: It represents Ananta, infinite time, reminding us of the eternity of the universe and the endless cycle of life.

Tongue (inner hammer): It symbolizes Saraswati, goddess of knowledge and wisdom. It is the part that generates the sacred sound.

Handle: It contains prana shakti—vital energy—and often features figures such as Hanuman, Garuda, or the Trishula, each with its own symbolic power.

🔔 The sound emitted by the ghanta is no coincidence: it purifies, focuses the mind, and wards off negative energies. Its vibration is related to Om, the primordial sound of the universe.

📿In temples, homes, and even in modern meditation apps, the sound of the bell marks the beginning of the sacred. It's used in daily rituals, major festivals like Diwali or Shivaratri, and also in modern yoga and healing practices.

💡Fact: The sound of the ghanta is believed to harmonize the five elements (earth, water, fire, air, and space) and can even have beneficial effects on the brain, promoting calm and mental clarity.

More than an instrument, the ghanta is a bridge between the earthly and the eternal.

I have been a little overwhelmed from writing and reading so much about the attacks. I had just started to catch up with what was happening in Bengal and this happened. And I had to let it out. Had to speak up. Had to educate myself on what happened.

But today I took a break

Why would an Asuri attack Swarga if an Asuri already rules it as Devrani? (Asuris are girl's girls)

Shachi is an asuri. She is called Poulomi after her father Asur king Pouloman

So

Ik we shouldn't always make the Ashurs villain (cuz all of them are not the villains and I'll yell this till the end)

But why we never have any Asuri being a villain??? (Other than Mahishi ofc)

Why no Ashuri wants to conquer the universe or swarga or have some beef with Indra or any of the Gods

Why non of them are asking for any vardaan from either Brahma or Shiva

I feel like then Parvati/Vishnu will have to find even more complicated ways to defeat them 🗿

THAT'S WHAT IM SAYINGGGGGGGG

This is why Mahishi my beloved

I mean hey I support women's rights but also women's wrongs yanno

Mahishi is so cool hsjskskd also im glad she doesn't get any of those Ovidish Medusa treatment in our mythology

She's a straight up beast and she knows it 💅

We need more evil Asuris frrr

Oh still the left will somehow find a way to justify this and tell us how we're the villains in this. Would I be surprised? No.

The reason why the world doesn't know about all this, is because we don't talk enough about it. It's only on our regional media. We need it out there on global platforms. We slide it under the carpet thinking communal peace will be disturbed, the gap between hindus and muslims will widen. But we don't ask questions. We don't hold them accountable. These acts should have repercussions. Well it's happening now.

And yet half of our population is busy wanting to be "secular" and ignoring the current attacks and the past and the history of India too.

Indian Army neutralises Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists

"Indian government is fascist Hindutva"

Indian Army Neutralises Lashkar-e-Taiba Terrorists

Meanwhile India neutralises notorious Islamist terrorists from Lashkar-e-Taiba.

Let's see what kind of crimes against humanity have these terrorists committed.

1998 Wandhama massacre where 23 Kashmiri Pandits (Hindus for those who don't know) were murdered

2000 Chittisinghpura massacre where 35 Sikhs were murdered

2000 Amarnath Yatra pilgrimage massacre, where over 100 people were murdered, mostly Hindu pilgrims and 7 Muslim shop keepers.

2002 Kaluchak massacre where eleven army children died in the attack, including a two-month-old girl, after terrorists dressed in counterfeit army uniforms hijacked a tourist bus

2003 Nadimarg massacre where 24 Kashmiri Pandits were murdered. The terrorists had dressed up in counterfeit Indian army uniforms to lure in their victims, promising them safety, before shooting them in execution style. This massacre was referred in the Indian film The Kashmir Files

2005 Delhi bombings, where 60 people were killed, including children, and 527 maimed. The bombings happened when people were preparing for Diwali.

2006 Varanasi bombings, where 37 people were killed and 90 were maimed.

2006 Doda massacre, where 34 unarmed Hindus, mostly shepherds , and even a 3-year-old child, were murdered in the state of Jammu & Kashmir by terrorists who were wearing counterfeit army uniforms.

2008 Mumbai attacks (26/11 attack) where 175 people were massacred and over 300 injured. Terrorist Ajmal Kasab admitted that the Pakistan Army and ISI were behind Lashkar-e-Taiba. The terrorists had come with fake IDs that had Hindu names, and they were wearing Hindus sacred thread in order to blend in. Indian leftist /secularist propagandists were ready to blame Hindutva for the attack but thanks to police officer Tukaram Omble (hutatma) who had caught Kasab alive that terrorists' plan was thwarted.

2017 Amarnath Yatra pilgrimage massacre (AGAIN), where 8 Hindu pilgrims were murdered.

2024 Reasi massacre, where Islamist LeT terrorists opened fire on a passenger bus transporting Hindu pilgrims who were on their way to pray to Goddess Vaishno Devi. Nine pilgrims, including a two-year-old and a 14-year-old were killed and 41 pilgrims were injured.

2025 Pahalgam massacre, where terrorists massacred Hindu men after asking their religion, checking their genitalia and looking at IDs. They left the Hindu women alive to "send message to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi".

I 100% support Hindutva. All Islamist Jihadists who are acting innocent and dressing up in an anti-fascist cloak to demand "Free Kashmir", our Hindutva government will send you to Jahannum.

I think one of the greatest things about Sanatan/hinduism is how animals are so intrinsically involved in worship and divinity, something which is often used by Hinduphobes to poke fun at us but I’m super proud of my ancestors for making us understand that every being is divine. That divinity is everywhere and that includes animals and plants as well.

आत्तसज्जधनुषा विषुस्पृशा वक्षया शुगनिषङ्‌ग सङि‌गनौ । रक्षणाय मम रामलक्ष्मणा वग्रत: पथि सदैव गच्छताम्‌ ॥ Rama and Lakshmana, their bows pulled and ready, their hands on the arrows (packed) in ever full quivers (carried on their backs), may they always escort me in my path, for my protection. संनद्ध: कवची खड्‌गी चापबाणधरो युवा । गच्छन्‌मनोरथोSस्माकं राम: पातु सलक्ष्मण: ॥ Ever prepared and armed with sword, shield and bows and arrows and followed by Lakshman , Rama who is like our cherished thoughts come to life, may he, along with Lakshmana protect us .

<<The two verses are part of the Ram Raksha Stotram. If you ever feel scared, try to listen to this stotram and remember Him. May Raghav, our beloved King, the sun of the Ikshvaku clan protect the innocent and lead the armed forces.>>
