Have u ever wondered Why Do We Go Clockwise Around Temples🛕?
This walking around the 🛕 in clockwise direction is called '#Pradakshina'.
Some time back when my 5-year-old asked me, why only clockwise & not anticlockwise? I had no answer.
But Now I know the reason behind it.

If you notice closely, many natural phenomena turn clockwise above the #Equator and anticlockwise below it. It is not just with air or water, the very energy system functions like this. In the northern Hemisphere of the planet, this is a natural phenomenon.

This is why if there is an energetic place in the northern hemisphere, and we want to derive benefit from or absorb the energy, we must go clockwise around it. If we want to benefit more, our hair should be wet. If we want to benefit even more, our clothes should also be wet.

This is why every temple had a water body what was generally called a 'kalyani'. In Tamil Nadu, it is called a 'kulam'. we are supposed to take a dip and go through the temple with wet clothes so that we receive the energies of the #consecratedSpace in the best possible way.

But what happens with all this walking around the deity?🤔
Any consecrated space🛕 functions like a vortex🌀 which means that it reverberates & it also draws🔁. Both ways, an intermingling of what we are referring to as the divine🕉️& what we are calling as the self🧍‍♂️happens.

The idea in this culture🕉️ is that we don’t want to meet God, we don’t want to go to heaven.
Here, we want to become #God!
We are not looking at seeing the divine. We want to realize and become divine😇.
The idea of being in a consecrated space is to...

constantly allow this transaction to happen, so that gradually, the living body itself becomes like a divine entity. If we want, we can keep this body like a beast. Or we can make it like a sacred form🪷.
Going clockwise around a consecrated space is...

a simple way of receiving this possibility.
Particularly from the equator up to thirty-three degrees latitude, this is very intense💥. This is where we get maximum benefit.
In this region, temples🛕are...

scientifically constructed in a certain way – magnificent structures which took lifetimes to create. For ex., the #Kailash 🛕at Ellora, which was built by the Rashtrakutas took 135 years of work. That means 4 generations of people worked to the same plan, not changing a bit😯
