Handcrafed Trishul Damru (Soolam) - Lord Shiva Trident Om Damroo Bell made in brass with Naga Design.
Siva’s trishul or trident (the three pointed javelin like weapon) represents the three gunas – Sattwa, Rajas and Tamas. The Trishul is the emblem of sovereignity. Lord Siva wields the world through these three gunas, which is the composition of Maya-Shakti or mind and matter. In other words, if one were able to analyse the composition of Maya-Shakti, it will be found to be made of the combination of the three Gunas (Sattwa-Rajas-Tamas).
The sound from a ringing bell is supposed to drown any other offending or disturbing noises surrounding the area of worship. When one rings the bell, it is done with the following thoughts "I greet you with the ringing of the bell and with the wish that you remain in my thoughts and that I may be cleansed and protected from evil thoughts or deeds".
Design: Made of brass with Naga Design.
