Required Help to understand following quote

[Ajit]

Vitthal Vitthal ,

Can somebody help here to explain the meaning of following quote

' स्वरूपी दक्ष राहुन  प्रभु चरणाभोवती लक्ष फिरवित ठेवणे म्हणजे प्रदक्षीणा. '

God Bless All,

I would like to try. Just see if it satisfies  the query.

 Our birth has happened , because of God's Will to experience the happiness of life. Our swaroop is God himself.
So the meaning of above is , keeping in mind or remembering all the time (minute to minute) that God only is living trou our body .Whatever good we have done to others is been done by God  almighty himself .At the same time , if we behaved unmanneredly with others and hurt oothers , we should restrict ourself from this behaviour, by recollecting that we have forgotten the existance of God in ourself , and now whatever
bad done to others is due to our own Ahankar.
If we always remember that God resides there within our body all the time .we  will alway be doing good to others .This will activate the Laws of Nature and , the happiness will boomrang towds us.

If we live life in this way always remembering God and not allowing Ahankar to superceed ,then that will be the true happy life ,which God has wished to live and manifested .This is the true "Pradakshina".


Thanks,
Meena
May God bless all.

Vitthal Vitthal,

Thanks Meena Tai for explaining in simple terms. What I understood is 'Try to focus on AtmaDev and give happiness to others by doing all good things to others'.

I have one more query why do we perform "Pradakshina". Is there any significance of '"Pradakshina".

To,
Ajit,

Pradakshina has been told by our forefathers .My grandpa taught my father, my father taught me, so I am doing it.

I think it can be said to be the first step on the way of getting knowledge of God or we can say it is similar to be in junior K.G.class of spirituality.We can perform pradakshina for the sake of sanskar, but the true concept of pradakshina , as explained by shri sadguru should be kept in mind always.
 
thanks

Ajit,

Satguru has explained these words like PRADAKSHINA, NANDADEEP, etc. in his lectures. Few things I remember top of my head are:

1. PRADAKSHINA - First see the God inside and then face the life in outside world. Walk with God in your mind - lead life in ISHWARSMARAN - MAM ANUSMARA YUDHYACHA - When we do PRADAKSHINA we exactly do that. Circle signifies infinite nature of life. hence the sentence ' स्वरूपी दक्ष (SMARAN) राहुन  प्रभु चरणाभोवती (ISHWAR - JETHUNI CHARAACHAR TYASI BHAJE) लक्ष फिरवित (CIRCLE) ठेवणे (CONTINUOUSLY) म्हणजे प्रदक्षीणा. '

2. NANDADEEP - Human body is SAMAYEE and ISHWARSMARAN is real NANDADEEP (Naamacha Nandadeep). You can easily relate to concept of 24 X 7 NANDADEEP - NITYA SATYA AMITA SMARAN

3. EKADASHI - Sarva DASHA INDRIYANNA EK DEVAACHI DISHA DAKHAVAT RAHANE

Satguru is great.

God bless you, God bless all,
