Lake Manasarovar & Mount
Kailash
Few
mountains in the world rival the grandeur of Mount Kailash
(6714m), the famed by holy peak in Western Tibet. Kailash
has long been an object of worship for four major religions.
For the Hindus, it is the domain of Shiva. It is also
the abode of Samvara- a multiarmed, wrathful deity worshipped
in the Chakrasamvara Tantric cycle of Tibetan Buddhism.
The Jains of India also revere the mountain as the site
at which the first of their saints emancipated. And
in the ancient Bon religion of Tibet, Kailash was the
sacred alighted from heaven.
Sprawling below Mount
Kailash is the sacred Lake Manasarovar (4560), where
a ritual bath will deliver a pilgrim to Brahma's paradise
and a drink of its water relinquishes the sins of a
hundred life times. The 53 km Kailash circuit is the
holiest of all Tibet's pilgrimages and the beacon, which
draws most travelers to Western Tibet. It is said that
a Single Parikarma erases the accumulated sins of a
lifetime, while 108 circumbulation will achieve Salvation
or Nirvana. To Travels days on this remote plateau with
the chance encounters of nomads herding their sheep
or yaks is to be transformed into another way of life,
to see and become part of such a devout pilgrimage as
shown by pilgrims around Mt.Kailash and Lake Mansarovar
is to put some aspects of our western way of life into
proper perspective.
