Pradakshina

[Guest guest]

Maharshi observed : Pradakshina ( the Hindu rite of going round the object of

worship ) is " All is within me ". The true significance of the act of going

round Arunachala is said to be as effective as circuit round the world. That

means that the whole world is condensed into this Hill. The circuit round the

temple of Arunachala is equally good; and self-circuit (i.e., turning round and

round) is as good as the last. So all are contained in the Self. Says the Ribhu

Gita: " I remain fixed, whereas innumerable universes becoming concepts within

my mind, rotate within me. This meditation is the highest circuit ( pradakshina

)."
