"Those feet that do Parkarma (circumambulations in a clockwise direction) of Guru Sahib Jee are priceless." (Kabit Svaye Bhai Gurdas Jee p.17)

So in circumambulations clockwise direction is the correct way.

s50, while the tuk shows the importance of parkarma, it in no way implys clockwise or counter-clockwise direction.

The tuk just says "parkarma". The translator (probaby SikhitotheMax) also added "in a clockwise direction". Otherwise, parkarma just means circumambulation.

Generally speaking, parkarma is done in a clockwise direction, though. But Guru kian ladlian faujan do it in the opposite direction because of a funny Sakhi which I can't remember now having to do with keeping the sword arm on the right side in order to defend Guru ji if needed.
