Guest guest Posted December 2, 2000 Report Share Posted December 2, 2000 My Dear Spiritual Daughter, Please accept my blessings. All glories to Srila Prabhupada! Thankyou for your letter cited below with my comments. I have noted the contents carefully. > Dear Guru Maharaj, > Please accept my respectful obeisances!. All glories to Srila > Prabhupada and Your divine Grace. > What is the significance of doing parikrama around the deities?. > Thank you Guru Maharaj. > Your servant, > Hemagopi devi dasi. If you go three times around the Deity you have already covered the whole universe. If you go four times around the Deity in parikrama then you not only cover the universe, but you also include the spiritual world. It is one of the prescribed sevas for the Deity. Srila Prabhupada used to regularly perform parikrama of the Deities in Mayapur Dham. I hope that this finds you in good health. Your ever well wisher, Jayapataka Swami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
