Pradakshina: Pra means prathana (prayer), daksh means Daksh Prajapati which depicts ego, ‘i’ means ‘i’ and na means without. Pradakshina means to walk with a prayer to god that, “remove the ego which makes me consider ‘i’as ‘I’ and make me egoless.” In short merge me in you.
Pradakshina is done by circumambulating (walking clockwise) keeping God in centre. It is also a swastik with four directions facing right and when God and I meet, becomes zero in the centre.
Slow walking helps to stabilize the wavering and fickle mind on to the centre.
गुरु प्रदक्षिणा ही गिरि प्रदक्षिणा है।
प्रभु का नाम लेते चलना, वो ही प्रदक्षिणा है।
न कोई उसमे रीती रिवाज है, न कोई फरियाद है।
खुद को भूलकर प्रभु को बीच में रखकर, वो ही प्रदक्षिणा है।
