Temple Bells

Devotees ring Temple Bells as they entering a temple 

When in India a few years back - On entering a Jains Temple a bell was rung as I entered  I was told to awaken the Gods - it made a most beautiful crystal clear sound - I was greeting by a Priest and a tiny kitten who was the temple cat - I took it in my arms and was blessed by the Priest a wonderful experience and one that I treasure .
