When we visit a place of worship we see people walking around deities. It is believed that when we walk around deities (circle them) we collect endless virtues and destroy our sins.
There is a religious importance as well as scientific importance behind this tradition.
Temples where deities are established following complete procedure and offered prayers regularly have active positive energy around the deities. When we walk around that deity, we absorb this energy. This energy is especially helpful in calming your mind. Walk around in a clock wise direction because the energy flow is in this direction.
Which deity and how many circles?
Based on holy text, make 3 circles around Lord Krishna. 1 circle around goddess. Half circle around Lord Shiva because crossing Shiva's inauguration flow (अभिषेक धारा) is considered not auspicious.
Few things to remember while circling deities.
1. Recite mantra of respective deity while circling.
2. Loose emotions like anger and stress and bad feelings while doing this.
3. Walk bare foot
4. Do not talk while circling. Keep your mind peaceful.
5. It is best to wear necklace or beads of basil (तुलसी) or Rudraksh (रुद्राक्ष)
