Where & when to walk in the opposite direction in the temple?
While orbiting the nava planets, can everyone orbit the last 2 orbits to the left? Who wants to go around like that? In this section, you can see who should not walk around. Generally, what we can walk in the temple is called Pratatsana. One should walk in a temple as prathaksana. This is what our forefathers have told us that we should not crawl in apiradaksana i.e. to the left or the opposite side.
Soma Sutra Pratsana:
In the shiva temple, only during pradosham, one can walk as Apiradatsana i.e. to the left (opposite direction). It has the name Soma Sutra Pratatsanam. On the other hand, one should not walk in the opposite direction in the temples. We all know that there are 9 planets in Navakras. When we worship the Navagras we go around 9 rounds of 9 planets at the rate of one round per planet. While doing 9 laps like that, we will see some people doing 7 laps on the right side and the last 2 laps on the left side. Can everyone take the last 2 laps to the left like this? Who wants to go around like that? In this section, you will find who should not go around. But many of us have a big doubt that during Navgraha Puja on Saturdays many of us will see 7 rounds to the right and the last 2 rounds to the left for Rahu Ketu. Who can turn left like this and who should not?
For remedy and removal of dosha, some people perform Apradaksana i.e. opposite direction while performing Rahu and Ketu Shanti pooja as advised by astrologers. A few who say they are spinning will also start spinning to the left. Never make this mistake. When worship is worship, it must be in the same position. But when some people do some remedies to get rid of some sins, it is not worship to see those remedies and do the same. So generally there is no need to walk around the Navakras with Rahu and Ketu as Apradatsana (left side, opposite side, upside down). After that, there is no such thing as sin going away if we go around the other way. If we worship with faith and determination, the planets will surely accept that worship and we will get blessings.
