Are You Making This PRADAKSHINA Mistake

Описание: You need to remember these 2 things👇🏻

✅ Intention: Let Pradakshina reminder you to place the Divine at the centre of your life💫 — to let your thoughts, decisions & actions revolve around that sacred presence. When we live this way, we naturally develop a deep faith where everything that comes to us is received as the Divine's grace🪷 — sometimes direct, sometimes a blessing in disguise. Each round of Pradakshina reinforces this truth within, strengthening our surrender, devotion, & trust in the Divine order🕉️.

✅ Practice: In temples, Pradakshina is done by walking clockwise around the deity while chanting✨. But at home, since most puja rooms don’t have the space to walk around, our ācāryas guide us to place the deity in the heart-centre🥰 & do gentle clockwise turns around ourselves. This is meaningful only because we are revolving around the Divine that we have invoked within🧘🏻‍♀️. So we do it only in our pooja room🙌🏻.

In a temple, standing in one place & turning around is not really necessary — not because it is “wrong/blunder”, but because the very purpose of Pradakshina is lost🤷🏻‍♀️ when you show your back to the deity.

But if done out of habit, do not worry🥰 - it is not a blunder at all — just something to be aware of for next time.

This is something I learnt recently. So wanted to share with you all🤗 We hope this helps.
