Abode of Lord Shiva and the source of the Brahmaputra, Indus, Sutlej, and Karnali rivers, Mount Kailash is the sanctum sanctorum that is referred to as the centre of the world and the stairway to heaven. The supremely sacred mountain is situated in the southwestern part of Tibet, bordering the Kumaon region of India – the point where heaven meets earth.
According to the scriptures, their sin could be erased if someone made a circle trek around this sacred mountain. Hindus, Jains, Tibetan Buddhists, and folks of the Bon religion firmly believe in the divinity of Kailash Parvat. However, there are many mysteries that are enveloped around the peak in Kailash Ranges that is perpetually shrouded under thick silver clouds. If you are curious about this place, find out more about Kailash Mansarovar and its spiritual significance.According to the research of various scientists, it has been stated that Mount Kailash is the axis of rotation of the celestial sphere. Having mentioned in Vedas and mythological book, Ramayana, Kailash Parvat has also been scientifically discovered as the axis Mundi. Various studies have proven that the quintessential divine peak is the centre of the world and is connected to significant monuments around the globe. The historic landmark in England, Stonehenge, is 6666 km away from here. The same dimension goes with the North Pole, which is also 6666 km from the Mount and the distance doubles exactly with the South Pole, which is exactly 13332 km away from the peak.
Lord Shiva, the destroyer of the world, resides in Kailash Parvat. The symbol of Om formed naturally with the deposition of snow on the granite mountain is believed to be the embodiment of his presence. We live in a world of apostles and atheists. Freethinkers have their own reasons for taking it as mere coincidence, but in the heart of devotees, the miraculous impression of Om has an immense symbolic value. For them, it’s God’s creation that calls only surrender and belief.
