STUDIES ON VEDIC ACOUSTICS EFFECT OF BELLS IN TEMPLE PREMISES ON MICROORGANISM

Microorganisms play an important role in maintaining the environment. Exploring the mechanism of activities of microorganism to various environmental factors has come into focus in the field of microbial pollution and human health. However, facing the increasingly serious efforts on acoustic factor, are lacking putting forth into studying the relationship between microorganisms and the sound of temple bells.

Herein, we studied the biological effects of sound exposure on the growth of microorganisms with different acoustic levels in Durgakund and Gauri-Kedar temple premises. Metallic sounds are a repeated pressure wave which travels through matter to environment.  Experimental results indicated the growth of microorganisms inhibited by exposing sound waves produced by bells.

Moreover, it was observed that microorganisms can respond rapidly to sound stress at both transcriptional and posttranscriptional levels. Potential mechanisms are involved in the response of bacterial cells and the sound waves created by the temple bells which helped in microbe free temple environment.

The data collected in present investigation may open new front in the line of microbial research. Although microorganisms are present in temple premises (below the bell) is within the range (07-09 CFU/m3) which indicates a very low level of contamination according to the guidelines by World Health Organization report.
