Spiritual Benefits of Temple Parikrama: In Hindu religion, going to temple and having darshan of Gods and Goddesses is an important part of daily life. But have you ever noticed that after darshan, every devotee takes a tour around the temple? This is called parikrama. Often people follow it as a tradition, but there are deep spiritual, scientific and mythological reasons hidden behind it. Let us know why the temple is circumambulated and what is the interesting story behind it.

What is Parikrama?

Parikrama means revolving around some sacred object, place or deity. It is always done from the right side, so that God remains on our right side. It is not only a religious activity, but is also considered a medium to attain spiritual energy.

According to the story, once Lord Shiva and Mother Parvati told their two sons that the one who comes first after circling the entire universe will be called the best. Lord Kartikeya immediately sat on his vehicle and set out on a journey across the universe. Whereas Lord Ganesha, acting wisely, revolved around his parents Lord Shiva and Mother Parvati and said that parents are the entire universe for him. Pleased with this, Shiva-Parvati declared Ganesh the winner. This is why Parikrama is considered a symbol of supreme devotion and dedication towards God.

Religious and spiritual significance

Circumambulating the temple has deep spiritual significance. It is believed that the sanctum sanctorum of the temple is filled with positive energy and when the devotee circumambulates it, this energy enters his body and mind. While doing parikrama, the person's attention remains focused on God, which calms the mind and removes negative thoughts. It is also a type of meditation, which provides mental peace and spiritual balance.

Therefore, circumambulating the temple is not just a tradition, but an important process associated with deep faith, devotion and spiritual energy. Along with bringing us closer to God, it also provides mental peace and positivity. Now next time whenever you go to the temple, not only have darshan but also do parikrama with devotion. Because this small tradition can bring big changes in your life.
