The Lords abode & holy bath
Mount Kailash is the epitome of spiritual and natural bliss. Situated in Tibet, it is one of the most
revered and sacred places on earth among Hindus, Jains and Buddhists alike. Pilgrimage to it is
considered as the pathway to emancipation from earthly sins and pathway to spiritual enlightenment.
Considered as the abode of Lord Shiva and his consort Parvati among Hindus, only a few lucky
thousand every year are allowed to make pilgrimage to this holy site. While it has different names in
different religions, its spiritual significance remains of paramount importance among all of them.
Making a parikrama or Kailash Kora around Mount Kailash is considered as a way to emancipate from
life-cycles and rebirth and to be one with the spiritual center of the universe. Taking holy bath in Lake
Mansarovar, believed to be created by Lord Brahma and resided by Lord Shiva, purges sins of a
hundred yonis and sanctifies human soul of miseries.
Throughout human history, Mount Kailash pilgrims have shared tales of the divine experience during
their pilgrimage to Mount Kailash. Whether you are Hindu, Buddhist or Jain- Mount Kailash is your
pathway to be close and be one with the divine in this very life.
