Guest guest Posted January 24, 2005 Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 Dear Group, We did Pradakshina around Arunachala today. Out of our group, about 10 made the trip. We started at sunrise. One small experience that touched my heart happened early in the day. We came on to a water tank in a clearing in a forested area. There is a old building, ruins really, at the other end of the tank, with a westerner meditating. There was a sanyatsin (spelling?) at the tank. Nome talked with him. He had been told that we were making Pradakshina today. He invited us to meditate at this location and talked about other spots along the route that he found favorable for mediation. He also talked some about the significance of Arunachala. This was a good place to stop and sit and meditate along the way.

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 )." > > India Matrimony: Find your life partneronline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
