Guest guest Posted October 30, 2003 Report Share Posted October 30, 2003 I always thought that this direction in NOD was meant for circumambulating the actual Deity of Krishna, but in this context it seems to be referring to circumambulating during kirtan itself! An interesting direction, considering that this frequently happens in kirtans.
