KAILASH /
MANASAROVAR TREK
|
 Few
mountains in the world rival the grandeur
of mount Kailash (6,714m), the famed holy
peak in western Tibet. Kailash has long been
an object of worship for four major religions.
For Hindus, it is the domain of Shiva. It
is also the abode of Samvara-a multi armed,
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 nine story Swastika,
mountain, upon which the Bonpo founder Shenrab
alighted from heaven.
Sprawling below Mount Kailash is the sacred
lake Manasarovar (4560m), where a ritual bath
will deliver a pilgrim
to Brahma’s paradise and a drink of
its water relinquishes the sins of a hundred
lifetimes.
The 53 km kailash circuit is the holies 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 circumambulation will achieve Salvation
or Nirvana. |
