Bhagavan Ramana Maharishi observed:
Pradakshina (The hindu rite of going around the object of worship) is "All is within me". The true significance of the act of going around Arunachala is said to be as effective as a circuit around the world. That means that the whole world is condensed into the Hill. The circuit around the temple of Arunachala is equally good; and self-circuit (i.e turning round) is as good as the last one. So all are contained in the Self. Says the Ribhu Gita: "I remain fixed, whereas innumerable universes becoming concepts within my mind, rotate within me. This meditation is the highest circuit (Pradakshina)"
