Using its four sheer walls,
identifying snow-capped summit, and valleys interspersed with brightly-clad
Tibetan pilgrims, Mount Kailash or Kang Rimpoche ('precious snow-peak', as
called the Tibetans) is an awe-inspiring sight. Four great rivers of Asia: the
Karnali, the Indus, the Sutlej and the Brahmaputra (Tsangpo) emerge from here.
Dominating the north of the Himalayan Barrier with its spectacular view, the
Mount Kailash (or even Kangrinboqe) is equally venerated as the holiest
pilgrimage site by Hindus, Buddhists, Jains, and Bön-Po.
Where Tonpa Shenrab, their
prophet, Rishaba attained enlightenment whilst creator of Bon religion, is
thought to have descended from heaven, Jains regard this mountain as a sacred
site. For Hindus, Mt. Kailash is the sacred abode of Lord Shiva, the God of
Destruction'. Hindus believe this mountain as paradise and the middle of
spirituality and soul. Lord Shiva sits atop Mt. Kailash meditating and
practicing yoga.
The mountain is assumed to be the middle of the world and also
the four rivers flowing through Kailash dividing the planet. Buddhists consider
this to be the place of and Buddha Demchok where the battle between Milarepa
and Naro Bonchung happened. Milarepa was the master of Tantric Buddhism, also
Naro Bonchung was the champion of Bon religion. Insight, no result was after a
long struggle and came into a decision that the person who reaches the
mountain's top wins. Naro Bonchung proceeded towards the suggestion, but to the
amazement of everybody and got on his drum, Milarepa sat there meditating.
Since Naro Bonchung was about to get to the top, by shoving the beams of Sun
Milerapa sprang into activity and overtook him. Since then Buddhism prevails in
Tibet.
Thousands of pilgrims traveling
to Mount Kailash after an ancestral heritage, every year. Walking around the
summit brings good fortune. The route around the summit covers a space of 52 km
and it's thought that accomplishing the trek will make this ritual successful.
It's believed that a single kora cleans a lifetime's sins while 108 koras will
give Nirvana to you. Nevertheless, elevation and conditions could cause
physical issues. If pilgrims follow the required prostrations along the way, it
requires to perform the circumambulation.
A three-day trek (Parikrama or
Kora) around Mount Kailash over a 5630-meter Drolma La (pass), clockwise for
Buddhists and Hindus, and anti-clockwise followers of the ancient Bon religion,
is believed to erase the sins of a lifetime. To complete the Kailash pilgrimage
one should bath in the sacred Lake Manasarovar, stunningly set on the plateau
bordered by the majestic Gurla Mandata.
The lake Manasarovar lies about
20km southeast of Mt. Kailash and signifies"Invincible Jade Lake" in
Tibetan. The title originates that Buddhism wins a victory against Bon at a
match with all the lakes. It's located at 4.588 meters top and is thought to be
one of the most limpid and glowing lakes in the world. Pilgrims take a while
back as a gift to friends members and their loved ones to their own homes. Five
monasteries stand on this lake's shore and were rebuilt following the Chinese
invasion of 1959; the two most celebrated being the Chugu and the Jiwu.
