Mt. Kailash, known to the Tibetans as the "Jewel
of the Snow", lies in the western part of the
Tibetan Autonomous Region of China. It is one of
the most sacred mountains in Asia, and is
venerated by the followers for four different
faiths - Buddhism, Hinduism, Jainism and the
ancient Bon religion. The perfectly shaped
pyramid of rock and snow is regarded as the
center of the spiritual universe by millions
and, therefore, is a hallowed pilgrimage site
.
Manasarovar Lake nearby is no less sacrosanct.
Devotees believe that a dip in its cold waters
washes away the sins of a hundred lifetimes and
is equal to reaching the paradise of Brahma.
The journey to Kailash Manasarovar is not just
an adventure, but also an adventure of the
spirit and a passage through the history and
culture of Asia.
Come join us on this epic journey. It will be an
experience that you will savor for a lifetime.
Kalidas wrote in the 13th century: “When the
earth of Manasarovar touches anyone's body or
when he baths therein, he shall go to the
paradise of Brahma, and he who drinks it's water
shall go the heaven of shiva and shall be
released from the sins of 100 births. Even the
breast that bears the name of Manasarovar shall
go the paradise of Brahma. Its water is like
pearls". |
