Kailash-Manasarovar (The
Path to Nirvana)
Mt. Kailash, which is believed to have
been formed 30 million years ago when the Himalayas
were in their early stage of formation, is one
of the most revered places in the Himalayas.
Mt. Kailash, 6740 m. is situated to the north
of the Nepal Himalayan barrier, wholly within
Tibet. Mt. Kailash is spiritual and an
important pilgrim centre for both Hindus and
Buddhists including many other religions too.
In the descriptions of this |
mountain,
Hindus consider it to be the Lord Shiva's throne
or abode and "navel of the Earth". The pilgrims
carry out devotional circumbulation (Parikarma)
around Mt. Kailash. It is believed that the
parikarma can remove your sins of a lifetime
and give you salvation (Mukti). Over the centuries,
pilgrims have constantly journeyed immense distances
to achieve enlightenment, absolve themselves
of sin. |
Manasarovar
Lake at 4,558 m. which is sprawled below Mt. Kailash
is said to be one of the highest fresh water lakes
in the world. It is believed that a ritual bath here
will deliver a pilgrim to Brahma's paradise and a
drink of its water relinquishes the sins of a hundred
lifetimes.
To travel for days on
this remote plateau with the chance encounters of
nomads herding their sheep or yaks, is to be transferred
into another way of life. To see and become part of
such a devout pilgrimage around Mt. Kailash and Lake
Manasarovar is an overwhelming and an experience of
a lifetime.
