pradakshina is one of the ways to ”come back to home” to bring the out going awareness gradually to one’s nearness finally on to oneself to one’s own self , the enabling atma to reach paramathma inside
by gradually closing down the infinite ways/ options for awareness to go after and fritter away the energies/ time
1 man by entering into temple, he has come away from the market place of life-activities
2 distance is reduced, from miles to a few yards
3 straight travel is reduced to circular
4 direction is set ie dakshina , clock wise
5 number is set , 5 , or 11, or, or 21, or 108
so that mind is engaged in counting the number
6 speed is set, no hurry , no stopping, but uniform speed
7 vision ‘ eyes is not going out towards see any number of objects or scenes outside
8 attention is on the walk,
9 at each step, one is made to see the one’s mind thoughts, body moves,
10 variety is reduced, one circle is enough to know every thing on how the walk is, it is just routine, vairagya sets in
11 next circle, man is looking for some thing unknown, vairagya increases
11 each subsequent circle man is going away and away from samsara and becoming loner and loner
12 at the end of the set number of circles, what he found is ”nothing” …”all this is nothing ”..and now man is totally new , fresh in the mind, relaxed in the body, clear in thoughts, ready to jump into activity with superior wisdom , enhanced energy , as if got charged , the time spent in pradakshina is just in the company of himself, which is so precious, ..for one’s own discoveries
13 this is like writing rama koti, or nama smarana, chanting manthras …………..these are subtler processes , but pradakshina is a grosser process, , simple any ne can just do and get the taste of a different world, superior lokas , an opportunity to have just a peep even for a beginner
