Kailash Mystery

[dhyandev]

http://vedicempire.com/images/stories/p39_1.gif"Nor should one ignore recent Russian studies of Tibet and the Kailas range in particular, the results of which, if true, could radically alter our thinking on the growth of civilizations. One of the ideas the Russians have put forward is that Mt. Kailas could be a vast, human-built pyramid, the centre of an entire complex of smaller pyramids, a hundred in total. This complex, moreover, might be the centre of a world–wide system connecting other monuments or sites where paranormal phenomena have been observed. It is difficult to explain all the available information in a short article for UN Special. I have copied in the photo below the pyramidal complex as proposed by the Russians. The idea of the pyramid in this region is not new. It goes back to the timeless Sanskrit epic of the Ramayana."

The Axis Mundi, the centre of the universe, the navel of the world, the world pillar, Kang Tisé or Kang Rinpoche (the ‘Precious Jewel of Snow’ in Tibetan), Meru (or Sumeru), Swastika Mountain, Mt. Astapada, Mt. Kangrinboge (the Chinese name) - all these names, real or legendary, belong to one of the holiest and most mysterious mountains in the world – Mount Kailas.
Both geography and mythology play roles in the sacred significance of Mount Kailas. This holy mountain rises to an altitude of 6714 meters. It cannot compete with peaks in the nearby Himalayan range, which includes Mount Everest, and its grandeur lies not in height but in its distinct shape – four sheer faces marking the cardinal points of the compass – and its solitary location, free of neighboring mountains that might dwarf or obscure it. Mt. Kailas is regarded as the earthly manifestation of the Hindus’ mythic Mount Meru, or Sumeru, the spiritual center of the universe, the axis mundi in Buddhist and Jain as well as Hindu cosmology. The area around this great mountain is the source of four life-giving rivers; the Indus, Brahmaputra, Surlej and Karnali, which is a major tributary of India’s sacred Ganges, begin here. To further enhance the symbolic mysticism of the mountain as a sacred place, two lakes are situated at the base of the mountain. The higher lake Manasarovar (one of the highest freshwater lakes in the world), is the sacred lake, and is round like the sun. The lower lake Rakhast Tal (one of the highest salt-water lakes) is the devil’s lake and has the shape of the crescent moon. The two lakes represent solar and lunar forces, good and negative energies respectively.

Namaste

The association with "paranormal studies" for me, casts doubt on the claims beyond the normal skepticism.

However, it could be easily tested by geologists with ground penetrating radar and whatnot.

But I don't buy that Kailash is a human made pyramid. Maybe Rishi made.

Pranam

Such a beautiful sight to behold, looking at it from the still of the night with the serene waters of Mansarovar glistening under the moon light.
That in it self is a mystery worth seeing. Thanks for posting.
Human built pyramid that is to stretch the imagination a bit far, sacred it is the abode of Shiva, what eyes do we have to see it?

Namaste,

I share the view of the previous two replies; while I do not believe our
distant ancestors were any less capable or intelligent than the builders of
the Egyptian pyramids, and discoveries like Gobekli Tepe are reminders that
any smugness or assumption that there are no new discoveries possible in
archaeology is completely unwarranted, I am reminded of the
"Bosnian pyramids", and similar conjecture concerning "pyramids" in China..

People seem to get more excited over possible "pyramids" than, for
instance, the far less dramatic (yet far more practical) genius shown by the
water-and-waste management strategies evident in Mohenjo-daro etc.
