Q9. Why do we do pradikshana around pooja murtis, singashan, and temples?

Pradikshina is a religious ritual that entails circling a murti, be it in the sinhasan, pooja or the whole temple. This is done because inside the murti of Lord Swaminarayanbapa Swamibapa are all the great pilgrimage sites. While doing their pradikshina the devotee visits all these sites and with each step, the sins of the devotee are destroyed. Pradikshina are symbolic of the love and devotion of a disciple towards the Lord i.e the Lord is at the centre of their entire life.
