CIRCUMAMBULATING THE TEMPLE OF VI\u1e62\u1e46U
\nIt is said in the Hari-bhakti-sudhodaya,
\n\u201cA person who is circumambulating the Deity of Vi\u1e63\u1e47u can counteract the circumambulation of repeated birth and death in this material world.\u201d
\nThe conditioned soul is circumambulating through repeated births and deaths on account of his material existence, and this can be counteracted simply by circumambulating the Deity in the temple.<\/p>\n
The C\u0101turm\u0101sya ceremony is observed during the four months of the rainy season in India (approximately July, August, September and October), beginning from \u015ar\u0101va\u1e47a. During these four months, saintly persons who are accustomed to travel from one place to another to propagate K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a consciousness remain at one place, usually a holy place of pilgrimage. During these times, there are certain special rules and regulations that are strictly followed. It is stated in the Skanda Pur\u0101\u1e47a that during this period, if someone circumambulates the temple of Vi\u1e63\u1e47u at least four times, it is understood that he has traveled all over the universe. By such circumambulation, one is understood to have seen all the holy places where the Ganges water is flowing, and by following the regulative principles of C\u0101turm\u0101sya one can very quickly be raised to the platform of devotional service.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
