Story behind this photo: 87 - Mandir Pradhakshinam.
Sai Ram. In this photo, we are seeing Swami’s students coming out after doing Pradakshinam (circumambulation) round Divine Manidr, in Prashanthi Nilayam, before going out to the villages for Grama Seva.
This reminds me of the good old times, when devotees were enjoying special privileges and intimate experiences. There were only sands all over . In the far end darshan lines, there were lawns and gardens. It was here that the devotees used to sit in lines for taking out tokens for entry into darshan lines. There was another queue in the sands for those who wished to go inside Mandir to attend Omkaram and Suprabhatham.
But before commencement of forming these queues, all devotees were allowed to go around Mandir. There were no restrictions whatsoever. No restriction on number of devotees, no separate arrangements for Gents and Ladies, no restriction of round numbers etc . All devotees were allowed to go round and round the Mandir, till the first bell was rung indicating the time for entry for Omkaram & Suprabhatham.
And do you know, all those days, Swami was living in the Manidr itself! It is not just going around the Mandir. Devotees were in fact doing Pradakshanam around Swami Himself! We used to consider this spiritual exercise as the finest chance bestowed on devotees.
