While giving aarti to god, why will we ring bell?

We find “Achari” the person who spells mantras and pray god, will ring bell in the temple several times. i.e.: while offering “naivedyam” (fruits, flowers etc.), while singing wake up song early morning, before closing temple, while giving aarti we ring bell.

   We have special significance in ringing bell during aarti, it tells us that we are welcoming all the gods. To which ever god we offer aarti, we mean that god should enter the idol with heavenly powers.

   While the god enters the idol with heavenly powers, devotees should be able to view his beautiful image during the light of aarti. So if we are going to see the god during aarti, it means are able to see his presence.

First one is “kamam” (desire). Having mendacious desire, desire to attain the lady whom you see with your eyes, makes you lose your health, wealth and your prosperity.

   Third one is “Lobham” (greed). Greed will make a person stingy and won’t let him enjoy the fruits of his hard work or let his family enjoy his wealth. At last all his hard earned money and wealth will not last with him, instead it will be place in the hands of wrong hands

Fourth one is “Moham” (infatuation). When we are in an infatuation of “mine”, you will lose “ours” belongings.

   Fifth one is “Madham”. Seeing our minimal strength, we will close our eyes and will not be able to see the other person’s strength; we will feel we are the only great person on the earth.

Sixth one is “Matsaryam”. We will not be able to sustain others wellness, we will build ego, enmity and anger. At last we will lose and ruin ourselves. This leads to destruction.
