Mount Kailash is universally regarded as the axis of the Universe, a sacred point where the heavens and earth converge. The mountain is revered as a symbol of balance and unity, representing the harmony between the material world and the divine.
Mount Kailash holds a unique and revered place in the hearts of followers from four major spiritual traditions: Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Bon.
Both Buddhist and Hindu cosmology identify Mount Kailash with Mount Meru, the mythical mountain that forms the axis of the universe. In these traditions, Mount Meru is the center of all physical, metaphysical, and spiritual worlds, making Kailash a central figure in global spirituality.
There are two lakes at the foot of Mount Kailash. Mansarovar Lake was originally created in the Hindu god’s thoughts and then visualized on the earth. This holy lake is a freshwater lake, whereas, the Rakshas Tal Lake, which is separated by only one way, is a saltwater lake known as a ghost lake. One shapes like the sun, and the other shapes like the moon. The two lakes represent light and darkness respectively.
Viewing from the south of the ridge, you can see the Kailash Parvat's Hindu OM(ॐ) symbol. The huge ice trough and horizontal rock formations from the top of the mountain constitute this symbol.
Kailash Himalaya and the lake Manasarovar nearby give birth to the Indus River, Ganges, Sutlej River, and Brahmaputra in Asia. Originating from there, the four rivers set off at the same time but flowed in different directions. After traveling tens of thousands of miles, they went to the same destination—the Indian Ocean.
There are two dungeons in the area around Kailash, Shambhala and Agartha. They are two branches of human civilization. These two advanced civilizations come from the Gobi Desert and the Himalayas respectively.
Some scientists believe that the Kailash range is a vortex of energy that lifts the body and mind. It is said that people who spend 12 hours in the vicinity of Kailash experience accelerated hair and fingernails growth, which is equivalent to two weeks of normal time.
Pilgrims from different faiths travel to Mount Kailash to perform a Kailash Parikrama also known as Kora (circumambulation) around the mountain. This trek is considered a path to spiritual enlightenment. The act of completing the Kora is highly significant in all traditions associated with Mount Kailash, it helps shed material distractions, fostering spiritual growth and a stronger connection with the divine. It's a path to fulfillment and a profound understanding of divine power, bringing pilgrims closer to enlightenment.
Mount Kailash is a profound spiritual icon and a powerful energy center deeply revered by millions around the world.
