What is the meaning of Pradakshina and Why is it done Clockwise?

Pradakshina (going around the deity) is an often misunderstood term - its importance, the number of rounds we have to go, and also why it is clockwise. Let us get into the fundamentals and understand this practice.

Let us connect.

I'm Mahesh Harvu and over the last 20+ years, I've immersed myself in rationally understanding the tradition, and practices of Hinduism and have realized that the Gita and Upanishads are the gems I was looking for that provided practical, logical, and scientific universal answers to life's questions.

The Gita and Upanishad put me on the path of spirituality. Once I got on the path, there has been no looking back and I enjoy my moments in life with gratitude.

Through this channel, I address the common doubts, questions, or topics of spirituality, tradition, and practices in a rational manner (based on the Gita and Upanishad).

The primary audience for this channel is the inquisitive and open-minded, overseas Indian, and young adults who seek logical answers and do not just go with blind faith.
