Nadi Astrology : Valuable clues by Prof. AV Sundram ji Hyderabad.

In modern times activities of mind is more than body are soul. activities.
the mental activities of human beings are connected with 
SUN- the ahamkara- MOON- the manas, MERCURY- the buddhi,
and SATURN -chittha.
sun. self realisation. sat. distant realisation. ( father and son)
moon.. inner mind.( vasanas of past life). .mercury. outer mind,( knowledge
gained in this birth)--.( father and son)
in addition to these. the fixed rasis namely Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aguarius are to be taken.. More planets (particularly the above 4 planets) in the fixed rasis, or in 2,5,8,11 houses from lagna show increased mental activities.
if moon is behind mercury(from moon mercury is within 6 rasis) the native is guided by his inner mind. on the other hand if mercury is behind moon the outer mind (what others say) guides him.

THE SCIENCE BEHIND TEMPLE BELLS
Most of the old temples have large bell at the entrance of the temple and you need to ring it before you enter temple. A Temple bell have a scientific phenomena; it is not just your ordinary metal. It is made of various metals including cadmium, lead, copper, zinc, nickel, chromium and manganese. The proportion atwhich each one of them mixed is real science behind a bell. Each of these bells is made to produce such a distinct sound that it can create unity of your left andright brain. The moment you ring that bell, bell produces sharp but lastingsound which lasts for minimum of seven seconds in echo mode good enough totouch your seven healing centres or chakras in your body. The moment bell sound happens your brain is emptied of all thoughts. Invariably you will enter state of Tran’s state where you are very receptive. This Trans state is the one with awareness. You are so occupied in mind that only way to awaken you is with a Shock! Bell works as Anti-dote to your mind. Before you enter temple – to awake you and prepare you for taste of awareness is the real reason behind temple bell.
