I am sure you have watched many superhero movies, so have I. My favorite forever is Spiderman. Such a simple and humble boy who has so many powers and lives by the motto ‘With great power comes great responsibility’.
It was long back when we all watched Spiderman 3, I am sure you remember when Peter Parker fights with Venom. The black Spiderman, who is more powerful and mean than our very own friendly neighbour Spidey. The scene when Harry sacrifices himself to save Peter. In that scene, Peter makes a sound cage, and holds Venom inside. My brain that day registered the fact that negative energies fear loud sounds.
And religion is what gives us hope to stay guarded against evil, Right?
India is a land of religion; we have given birth to many religions and nurtured many more. Religion shows a human being right way of living. As per Sociology, ‘Religion is the study of beliefs and practices’. Although why do we need religion, which religion is better than other, and which is the better way to worship is different. However, while worshiping God, every religion focuses on one or many sounds, so let’s explore 8 dominant sounds of religions.
It may be any religion, the unique sound(s) play a significant role. The sounds always guide us, ward evil and give peace to the mind and soul.
Shankh/ Conch:
It comes to me as top of the head recall, as the first most powerful sound. Don’t we see it during religious ceremonies at home and during all the major pujas, and in temples as well? I clearly remember Mahendra Kapoor singing Sambhavami Yugay Yugay to be followed by a long blow of conch in Title track of B R Chopra’s Mahabharata
It holds a prominent place in Indian mythology. So, what does it exactly do? It is said that if the Conch/ Shankh is blown in right way, then the energy it emits help in reducing the distressing frequencies and wards off germs that cause various diseases.
It is also said that keeping a right-handed Conch at home helps in boosting good luck, health and prosperity. Moreover, its surely great in boosting lung capacity. It is the closest natural inspiration for Fibonacci spiral. During the research about this blog, I came across various types and names of the conch, all the Pandavas and Shri Krishna had their own conch with different names and specialities. For example, Arjuna had Devadatta, Yudhishtira had Ananthavijaya, Bheema’s conch was Paundra, Nakula had Sughosha, Sahadeva had Manipushpaka and Shri Krishna had Pancajanya that he won by slaying a demon called Pancajana, I have a terrific propensity to write about conch. But, paucity of space demands that I better move to the next sound.
Azaan/ Adhan:
It’s a call of prayer given by a muezzin. A muezzin is a person who recites Azaan from the mosque. Five times a day. It’s in Arabic language. The origin of this means ‘to listen, to hear, to be informed’. It is basically to give a heads up to people that its time for the prayer.
The history of when and where it started goes back to 1400 yes ago. Bilal ibn Rabah al-Habashi was the first person to do the role of a muezzin. He was chosen by Prophet Mohammad, because of his ability to sing melodious and loud.
To motivate the worshipers and to make them aware that the mosque is open now – is the reason behind this. It’s called from the minaret, however now a days its broadcast through the loudspeakers on the minarets of the mosque
Church bell:
We all have heard the Church Gong a several times, even if you haven’t been inside a church ever. Bollywood and television give us a little peak into all the religions, including Christianity. May it be Josh, DDLJ or PK, we all have seen the beauty of the churches.
The purpose of the church bell is mostly same as Azaan in the mosque, that is to call worshipers and inform them that it’s time to pray. The bell is rung for a variety of ceremonial purposes. In Christian tradition it is also believed that, the sound of bell wards of demons, see Peter Parker knew loud sound scare negativity!!
The fact that I was unaware was that its an art to ring the bell, and people can take it up as a hobby. It’s a group activity and teaches many things from social-skills to team work, providing goo music therapy too.
Here is a link to an youtube video, where people in Ireland are trying to reviving this art of bell ringing.
Prayer Wheel
When you see or visit any place that has Buddhist culture, you see large cylindrical rotating structures, I was unaware that they have a name too. They are called Prayer Wheel. They are mostly seen in the monasteries of Tibet and Bhutan. These prayer wheel carry scripts inside it written on paper with a prayer “ॐ मणिपद्मे हूँ (om mani padme hum) which means ‘The jewel is in the Lotus’, The first word Aum/Om is a sacred syllable found in Indian religions. The word Mani means “jewel” or “bead”, Padme is the “lotus flower” (the Buddhist sacred flower), and Hum represents the spirit of enlightenment.
Many monks including Dalai Lama phrase the benefits and goodness of chanting this. This mantra is supposed to guard the person chanting it from all forms of evils as well as drive them towards god by improving their Karma.
Prayer wheels are used for meditation.
Although these wheels don’t make loud noise, but a creaking sound comes from the small prayer wheels, and a bell is hung at one corner of the large prayer wheel to make a soothing sound while meditating.
EK Onkar
I had my first closed brush with this powerful chant, when I watched Rang De Basanti, the lyrics tucked my heart strings. This verse that starts with ik Onkar, is called Gurbani
Ek onkar satnam kartapurakh, Nirmoh nirvair akaal murat Ajuni sabham, Guru parsad
Which means One Universal Creator God. The Name Is Truth. Creative Being Personified. No Fear. No Hatred. Image Of The Undying, Beyond Birth, Self-Existent. By Guru’s Grace
Ik Onkar is the symbol that represents the one supreme reality and is a central tenet of Sikh religious philosophy. Ik Onkar has a prominent position at the head of the Mul Mantar and the opening words of the Sri Guru Granth Sahib.
The continuous chanting of this mantra not just helps in meditation and peace of mind but also shows us the path to get closer to God by emphasizing there is only one God.
The musical instruments really play an important role, so that the sounds of Oum stays in our mind for long.
Ghanti/ Ganta :
It looks more or less similar to the church bell, however Hindus have a miniature form of it in the temples at home as well. Ghanti when its small and Ghanta when its huge, there is lot of scientific as well as religious logic behind when and why one should pray along with the bell ringing.
The religious reason is that, the nature came into existence with a big bang, and similar frequency is generated by the bell or ghanta so that the existence of nature remains as it is now.
It is said that when we ring bell at home or at temple, it creates or resonates and generates such energy that pushes stress, negativity as well as diseases. The gong at the temple, when creates a loud sound it helps in both the brain lobes to align providing peace and concentration.
India is full of surprises, and we have many temple. In Nainital, Uttarakhand there is a Ghantiwala temple. People worship Golu Devta, who is considered as God of Justice and incarnation of Lord Shiva. People write application n non-judicial bond paper with their pleas, and once their wishes are fulfilled they thank the God by tying bells showing their gratitude.
Sound of Ululation/ Kurava
When ever Durga puja comes this sound of Ululation reminds us f festivities, not just in Bengali weddings but in most of the ceremonial occasion’s females make this sound. Remember Vidya Balan’s Kahaani where during the climax of the movie we see women making that sound.
This sound is produced by emitting a high-pitched loud voice accompanied with a rapid back and forth movement of the tongue and the uvula.
It is also supposed to ward off evil and bad spirits.
I love writing blogs on new topics as it increases the knowledge base and makes me feel enriched, for an example I always thought the In india only Bengal and some places of North east India has the tradition of Ululaton, however it took me by surprise that this is common in Kerala and Malayali people call it Kurava. The practice and reason for doing it remains same.
Further to add its not just India, rather the roots of ululation are Latin and its practiced in Egypt, Middle east, Gulf as well as countries through African sub continent. It is called zaghroutah. There is lot to know and lot to learn in every field.
Dhol/ Tabla/ Mridung/ Dumru/ Drum
Names and shapes can be many, but these instruments create a bass and are used in worshiping god in most of the religions. We see them at temples during bhajan, kirtan and arti. We can hear them at gurudwara’s as well as mosques too.
It can be seen durga puja where everyone loves to do the dhunichi dance on the beat of dhol or sufi songs at khwaja ji. Which ever is the place and occasion, venue and religion the beats makes us forget the present and go deep into devotion.
Irrespective of religion, there’s certainly one theme that runs common. The power of sound. There are some frequencies that humans can hear and then there’s a Hertz world beyond our capability. The newest fad to have caught up is that of Subliminal Therapy and Delta Waves. They are said to hold immense hypnosis and healing power. YouTube is filled up with all kinds. How these magical sounds stand apart from regular conversation? Simple!! During conversations, generally people don’t listen with an intend to understand. They listen with intend to reply. These sounds seek no acknowledgement. These are powerful emotion that rightfully find their way into our soul, through our ears.

Prayer wheels, the gurbani and church bells as they toll are by far my favourite. When I had visited McLeodganj and had the chance to visit local Buddhist monastries there, it was a beautiful experience to move the prayer wheels and watch them set the motion.
Indeed, prayer wheels are awesome for meditation
Very interesting thought behind the sounds of religions… Thanks for sharing such intriguing points…
Very eclectic in approach. Good one.
Wow that is such a nice post I really liked reading it as it’s connecting to us in many ways and spread so much positivity. These sounds are really nice
Very eclectic in approach. Good one.
This was such an interesting and enlightening read! I am really glad I found your wonderful blog. I found the sound of the conch shell and its properties especially very intriguing, perhaps a separate post dedicated to it would be wonderful!
I was in fact thinking of the same, because there is so much to write, I am specially fascinated by the relationship between Conch and Fibonacci spiral. Glad to hear from you.

This is such an amazing and unique post. So beautifully said these are the sound of emotions which enters our soul through our ears. I loved reading it and got to know about sounds which I was not even aware. Thanks for writing such an informative post.
Nicely put together
Just a contrarian view! What about sound pollution? I have always felt that religion or spirituality is an intensely personal thing. All these noises deviate one from the true meaning! Nicely researched article though!
Amazed by the description of various kinds of religious sounds as they train the humanity to follow the right path.

Wow! what a detailed research on different religions and their common connection with sound, Besides of seen and listened every term so many times in reality and movie as well but never thought of this beautiful connection of sound all together, very nice, informative post.
Thanks Archana, Glad you liked it.

Thank you Doc

Wow, excellent research on the different sounds of religion. I love the morning Azaan. The sound of the Azaan is forever linked in my mind with all-nighters spent either studying or chatting with friends. The call of the muezzin in the morning was so soothing. Ek Onkar is a chant I often listen to while driving to work in the morning. It sets the tone for the rest of my day.
so happy to get positive feedback, I also learnt a lot of new things while doing all the research for this one.
woow you wrote it beautifully! I love sound of ek omkar, and wheels and ghant
Thanks Vidhya, my fav. point was relationship of conch with fibonacci spiral
woow you wrote it beautifully! I love sound of ek omkar, and wheels and ghant
Wow, that’s such an amazing piece, so enriching in every way. I learnt a lot reading this post and appreciate your passion. I am sure it mush have been a lot of effort in doing research for this and then culling out the relevant stuff for this post. Definitely, sound is powerful as long as it’s the right sound (done in the right way). The effect and impact of right sound is immense – honking vs soothing music is a case in point. Thanks for your enriching post and i look forward to your next post(s).
Thanks for so much encouragement, no doubt a lot of research went through, however happy to hear feedback from people, worth the efforts.
Wow…surely words of wisdom. And, for venom and spiderman 3, my husband was like now you understand the importance of sound but when someone tells you in a spiritual tone, you completely ignore…hehe. Lovely post.
ha ha… thanks for your love

Amazing how every religion uses musical sounds as a way of praying and feeling closer to spirituality. The ghantis and shankhnaad have been a part of my childhood.
Even scientific studies say that ringing of temple bells heals a depressed mind! Nice and well researched article!
yes it also increases concentration, glad you liked it

Very unique and researched post on sounds, loved it a lot.
Ek omkar, bells, conch All the sounds have a blissful effect on mind and soul. I was myself amused when I had visited golu temple filled with all sizes of bells.
I stay in a town surrounded with churches and it’s so soothing to hear bells early morning, noon, evenings.
Golu Devta temple is so beautiful. I am happy you liked it. Thanks for stopping and sharing your thoughts
Love how you went from Spiderman to religious sounds. What was absolutely cool about this post was I could hear all the sounds you have described. Marvellous!

That’s really an amazing post, I love how you have collated all such lovely sounds. Currently, we are loving the Ganpati Visarjan sounds here in Mumbai.
Ohh yes, best thing is dancing with it 😊
Ujjwal, this post is a delight to read. The everyday sounds that we come across had a purpose in religious ways. In Odia culture, we call kurava as hulahuli. Meant to say the auspicious time has begun let’s go on spiritual cleansing.

I think this is the first time I’ve come across this topic in an Indian blog. Kudos for writing about these sounds, I love all of them. Though being a Bengali, still can’t do the ululation, it’s difficult.

Just wow! Never really thought of the sounds of religion. Very well researched and I thought ulu is only for Bengalis 🙂 My favourite is conch and during Durga Puja we also conduct competitions of who can blow the conch for the longest time. Its fun and it has hidden health benefits too. Loved it. Keep it up.

The brilliant idea here. You have picked a unique topic. Only one thing I would point out is ..it would be better if u mentioned Bole so Nihal Sat Sri Akal rather than Gurbani. Bole so Nihal gives u goosebumps and it sounds like a warcry. Kudos for the post. #wordsmithkaurreads #MyFriendAlexa #BlogChatter
Thanks for adding this, will keep it in mind. Actually Gurbani has than soothing sense hence chose that.

I am happy I am able to put it across well. Sounds don’t have any language, they have capacity of giving peace and clarity of thoughts.

Very well observed. Well compiled and well explained in simple words. Useful for every age of person and leaves a permanent impact on memory. Linking the role of some musical instruments with scenes of popular films makes it more understandable. Keep your journey of blog writing up,which is your hobby and readers information. Stay blessed.
Thanks papa, even I enjoyed doing the research and writing this one
Wow.. what a lovely and in-depth post, Ujjwal. I didn’t knew the meanings and importance of sounds, but thanks to you, I now do.
Glad I am able to add new information

These sounds touch your soul I feel. The ek onkar gives me so much peace, the ghanta, shankh brings in so much positivity. Shri Krishna panchjanya shankh have read about it. So many stories I feel it had a logic and message for us.

I love the ek onkar chant so much! I first heard it once when my school bus broke down in front of a gurudwara and they were having their prayers. It started with that …

Kudos for writing on such a unique topic. Sounds around us are part of our lives..
It doesn’t matter what my region or religion is. If that sound calms me, I follow it. Your post took me back to my younger days. My house was near a mosque and we were so used to the sounds of Azaan that if we couldn’t hear it due to the absence of electricity, we felt something missing. The house used to be filled with the sound of bells early morning and evening when my father used to pray in our prayer room. Studyin in a convent school made me so accustomed to the church bells. Going to tutions we used to come across a Gurudwara where we used to hear the Ik Onkar. These sounds around us become such an integral part of our lives even before we realise it. Wonderfully written

India is blessed with a vast number of religions and sounds. Best of all I find the Shank so sooth6and powerful, like a sense of being victorious
How beautifully you have harmonized the different religious sound in one chorus. Different sounds with one motive and meaning. Love the post

Wow! This is totally a different and unique post which I ever read. Great Sounds which enhances the religious value.
Wow! Loved reading this interesting and informative post!. My favorite sounds are Ek Onkar and Prayer Wheel.
It is really nice to see all the religious sounds and their importance. Thanks for writing such an amazing post
Every religion has a unique sound, interesting isn’t it? I love the sound of shankh since it marks the beginning, of venturing on something. Ghanta dhun is relaxing.
I never knew there can be so many sounds in religion. Its a very nice and informative post. I like listening to chants in the morning. The very sound makes me peaceful.
they indeed give peace

We see these objects almost every other day, but never thought of it in the same way. Definatly a new insight on our daily riituals
yes, sounds are powerful, its energy
Very interesting post. Except 3 of the above sounds I have heard all. Especially the azaan as I lived in Kuwait all my life.
This post was refreshing change from regular posts and I loved it .Sound has healing energy and power and this fact has been well utilized by religions too !
Very interesting! The sound of a conch is extremely soothing. But yes, there is something about the vibration of these sounds. It gives a different feel.
This is a really interesting post I have read, I really love the sound of Shankh and it gives me real peace!! This is great you shared detail and more about these sounds
What a fabulous post. I loved the sounds
You selected and the reasons why they are so powerful sounds
In fact no matter which religion has which sound but all lead to inner peace and serenity. I don’t think anyone in the world would feel irritated by these sounds. I remember back in my maternal home we daily used to hear the sounds of church bells early in morning and at 12 PM that was so beautiful.
This is such a unique post . I really love the sound of Sankh , temple bell , Omkar .. The sounds are pure bliss to hear .
As mentioned earlier in my comment. It would be great if you could correct the mool mantra that you shared. Correct Religious things should be shared. The correct is”
