It is customary to chant the Manthra beginning with the words "Somavaethasya Rajyamadatthe" while doing the Karpoora Neerajanam. Recently one of our family priests said that if the bell is rung during Karpoora Neerajanam the lord runs away. I have seen for ages the ringing of bell by senior pandits and purhots. But nowadays vaideekas themselves are holding a different opinion. May I invite the cognoscenti to participate and clear the cloud in respect of this. How Lord can run away while he is being propitiated. Is there any story in this respect.
Generally the bell is rung at the time of Karpoora Neerajanam as a matter of inviting attention and making people silent and seeking devotion.
