Maha Mrityunjay Mantra

What does Shivlinga means? 
The word Ling in shiv ling has come from two words that is Leen and Gati. 
Leen means dissolve and Gati means grow. It means man should dissolve(Leen) 
in shiva  then he should grow(Gati). (leen+ga)= ling. 
Most people around the globe think that meaning 
   of ling in concerned with gent's sex point but this is  totally wrong theory.

ANIL VERMA

Brahmaputra River - Bramputra River,  
Starting point of Brahmaputra Rive
Jaide 
View of Kailash Parbat from Mansarovar 
Here at Kailash the mystic image of Meru, the great mountain at the  
center of the universe, has come to rest, Rooted in the seventh hell,  
Piercing through to the highest heaven, Mount Meru is at the heart of  
Asian religious cosmography . It is the central pivot around which the  
whole of creation revolves , the world Pillar and the first of Mountains. 
As an arch type of the divine centre, Meru rises in the realm invisible to  
mortal eyes. Man's urge to fix his ideals in solid form drew Meru to Earth, 
imposing its divinity on the snow peak of Kailash . To the pilgrims who 
walk the thirty-two mile path about it, Kailash is Meru embodied in  
ice and stone, an a single circuit erases the sins of a life time.  
Their faith proclaims that not just the mountain's ice capped summit  
but the entire region is the abode of the gods : a holy land made  
doubly sacrosanct by the presence of nearby lake Mansarover,  
fifteen mile wide circle of deepest blue which is among 
man's most ancient holy sites. 
You can see stars  here in sunlight. It is a real miracle
Mansarovar Jheel - Lake  
In our Vaidas it is mentioned that  
God Vishnu with Lakshmi live in this  
place which is also called Sheesh Sagar. 
Mansarovar is 17000 feet above the sea level 
& around 120 square km 
The lake and Mountain are the crowning jewels of a magical land of pure  
lights and intense colours born in the rarefied atmosphere of 15000 ft.  
The stark windswept plains, the luminous intensity of the sky and the  
ranks of immense snow-covered giants guarding the region are a  
fitting back drop for the dazzling purity of Kailash. Upon the sublime  
natural landscape are placed the rocic calms and fluttering faith.  
Every step of the sacred routes encircling Kailash and Mansarovar  
has its own legend, every rock, hill and spring its own good : an outpouring of 
myth and belief which confirms by its very abundance the presence of the sacred.

Introduction Mt. Kailash

Mt. Kailash, 6,740 m. is situated to the north of the Himalayan barrier, wholly within Tibet. It is the perfect mountain with awesome beauty, with 4 great faces. It is the spiritual center for four great religions: Tibetan Buddhism, Hinduism, the Jain religion and the pre Buddhist animistic religion - Bonpo. To Tibetans it is known as Khang Rimpoche (Precious Jewel of Snow) and they see it as the navel of the world. It is said that a stream from the mountain pours into a nearby lake and from here rivers flow in the four cardinal directions. The River of the Lion Mouth to the North, the River of the Horse Mouth to the east, the River of the Peacock Mouth to the south and the River of the Elephant Mouth to the West. Strangely enough, four major rivers do indeed originate near Kailash, the Indus, the Yarlung Tsangpo (Brahmaputra), the Karnali and the Sutlej. Tibetans believe that it is the residence of Demchog, a fierce looking tantric deity who lives there with his consort, Dorje Phagmo. For the Tibetans also, it is a particularly special place in that their poet saint Milarepa, spent several years here meditating in a cave.

For the Hindus Mount Kailash is the earthly manifestation of Mt. Meru, their spritual centre of the universe, described as a fantastic ‘world pillar’ 84,000 miles high, around which all else revolves, its roots in the lowest hell and its summit kissing the heavens. On the top lives their most revered God, Shiva, and his consort Parvati.

For the Jains, an Indian religious group, Kailash is the site where their first prophet achieved enlightenment. For the older, more ancient religion of Bon, it is the site where its founder Shanrab is said to have descended from heaven. It was formerly the spiritual center of Zhang Zung, the ancient Bon Empire that once included all of western Tibet. Bon people walk around the mountain in a counter clockwise manner, unlike the other religions.

Over the centuries pilgrims have constantly journeyed immense distances to achieve enlightenment or cleanse themselves of sin, braving enormous distances, particularly harsh weather and bandit attacks.

Although main focus of this trek is Mount Kailash in Tibet, the journey through Nepal's border with Tibet at Zhangmu, Saga and Paryang to Darchen is culturally and scenically rewarding.
