Smt. Padma,
In its purest form, the philosophy and spiritual practices of Sri
Vaishnavam are intended to be an enjoyment of the Wonder that Sriman
Narayana is. The intent of going around the temple is to see Thayar,
the Azhwars, and the Acharyas, as well as the beauty of the temple
architecture, saving the "best for last" with a visit to the inner
sanctum of the Supreme Being. Consequently, one really need only do
this once, only out or respect for this, and if times and conditions
permit.
The hard and fast rituals of performing pradakshanams so many number of
times has only come into vogue as people have lost touch with this
natural spiritual enjoyment in favor of more codified methods.
I hope this helps.
