Guest guest Posted January 9, 2002 Report Share Posted January 9, 2002 A sadhu used to go round the hill every day.He never did any meditation or japa.One day when he asked Sri Bhagvan for a particular book,Sri Bhagvan asked me to get if for him.Later He asked me whether i had given the book to him.I said i had.I asked Sri Bhagvan why the gentleman wanted a book when his interest was only in giripradakshina and nothing else. Sri Bhagvan said,"There is nothing better than giripradakshina.That alone is enough.If you do japa or meditation sitting in one place,the mind may wander.But during giripradakshina, the limbs move but the mind will be still.Doing japa or meditation without any other thought while walking is called samadhi in movement.That is why in those days walking was considered so important.Giripradakshina is particularly important.As there are several medicinal herbs on the hill,their breeze will be good for health.There are serveral siddhas and sages on the hill even now though we cannot see them.They also go round the hill unseen by us.When we go round the hill,we should walk on the left side of the road,otherwise we shall be obstructing their movement.We will also have the benifit of walking around them.We will get their blessings also." I was very happy to hear about the value of giripradakshina.I have become more enthusiastic about it ever since. in Sri Bhagavn, sriram Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
