Method of doing pradhikshina in temple


What is the method of doing pradhikshina in temple?


If we are circumambulating from one “dwajasthambam” to another “dwajasthambam” then we consider it as one “pradhikshina”. If we consider temple, if we start circumambulating from main entrance and again reach main entrance then it is called one “pradhikshina”.    

  If we consider Lord Hanuman, we say to circumambulate 5 times around the idol, it is said he likes 5 times. But if you have any wish then you may circumambulate 11, 27, 54, 108 times.

   If we consider circumambulating around “Nava Graha” (nine planets), people believe their respective positions will have influence on our life’s. It is said to be 3 times is the best. Again if you have any wish then it’s best to choose odd numbers like 11, 27, 54, 108 times.


Which temple has to be visited and at what time



Early morning we have to visit lord maha Vishnu temple and during evening time it is recommended to visit lord Shiva temple. Lord Vishnu is known to be event controller so it is believed that if we are praying him during early morning, he will be removing all obstacles from our life. Using our intelligence he will try to remove obstacles and make our life’s go peacefully.

   Lord Shiva is called “Laya kara”, in other words he works like a catalyst, so if we are visiting
Lord Shiva then he will boost the goodness (punya).

   Whenever we are going to temple, we should remind ourselves that we are here to attain mental peace so we should not be in hurry to complete prayer. We have to dilute ourselves toward lord and assume his idol in our heart or on the forehead.
