Significance of Himalayan Singing Bowls- Tibetan Singing Bowls
Himalayan singing bowls have deep religious importance in Tibetan Bon Po shamanistic religion and other Buddhist cultures of Asia. These tibetan singing bowls have recently acquired international reputation as an effective tool of meditation, natural healing therapy and a source for personal serenity. It’s an indispensible ritual item utilized by all the Buddhist monasteries. The tradition of crafting Tibetan singing bowls dates back at least twenty five centuries according to some research. Unlike ordinary metal bowls found in India which is limited to be used as an eating utensil only, Himalayan singing bowls are associated with healing qualities, spiritually uplifting quality and revered object of Buddhist religion. Many collectors in the west are fascinated by the mysterious ‘singing’ tunes that emerge from these Tibetan singing bowls when rubbed with a striker-hence the popular term ‘singing bowl’. Actually, those singing tunes are a series of sound waves produced by them. Deep, subtle and powerful -those sound waves is believed to penetrate the mind of the listener leaving him relaxed and tranquil. Himalayan singing bowls are also becoming excellent decorative pieces showcased in living rooms and museums. Contemporary handmade bowls with intricately designed patterns, symbols and figures of Buddha on their surface have caught the eyes of art specialists. But you do not need to be an art expert to relish the superbly beautiful craftsmanship present in Tibetan singing bowls. It is an essential part of Tibetan religious heritage. After the Chinese annexation of Tibet in the early fifties, much of the artisans emigrated to neighboring Nepal. Now, thanks to massive international interest and support, the almost lost Tibetan heritage of making Tibetan singing bowls has revived again. The world is finally rediscovering a lost art, and a new source of alternative healing.
