Owing to the fact that Mount Kailash is the holiest and sacred abode of Lord Shiva, Kailash holds huge religious merit. The history of Kailash is narrated on the verge of diverse holy books of Hindus. The Srimad Bhagavatam Mahapuran, a holy book of Hindus, states Rudra happens to be the complete incarnation of Omnipotent Lord Shiva. 

The incarnation of Shiva, which was five faced, made an abode at Kailash, which is beyond destruction, even after the destruction of the entire universe. Kubera, who lived in Kashi, prayed to Lord Shiva. After granting the boons of Kubera, Shiva decided to live close to Kubera in the human form of Rudra and moved to the Kailash mountain. This way, Shiva resided in the beautiful Kailash mountain. The omnipotent shiva, controller of the entire cosmic universe, made his abode to this holiest mountain, world-famous as Mt. Kailash. 

According to Vedas, the existence of everything on this planet has some purpose behind it. The mountains, trees, hills, lakes, rivers and every single creation have a definite purpose. The reason for the existence of all the creation of this universe has assorted values as mentioned in the Vedas. Vishnu Puran states “Earth rotates by the will of Brahma, firstly it rotates on its axis, secondly it revolves around the sun. Days and nights are distinguished when moving on its axis. The seasons change when it revolves around the sun.” The axis Mundi, the centre of the universe and navel of the world lies around the ordinates that belong to Mount Kailash. 

Mount Kailash is one of the greatest pilgrimages in this world. The people from diverse religious groups including the trekkers and enthusiasts travel to the holiest mount Kailash. Mount Kailash is also the origin of the four major lively rivers, which includes Indus, Brahmaputra, Surlej, and Karnali. Two glacial lakes, Manasarovar and Rakshastal, also lie at the base of the mountain. The Mansarovar is also one of the highest freshwater lakes in the world. The shape of Manasarovar is like a sun. The lower lake, situated in the lower segmentation of Manasarovar is devil’s lake and has the shape of a crescent moon. 

The glacial beauty of Kailash, Mansarovar resembles the solar and lunar forces whereas the Rakshastal resembles good and negative energies. It is the popular belief that, while doing a kora, pilgrims should not look at the Rakshas Tal. The presence of some mysterious power in these two lakes is also predictable. The Lake Mansarovar remains calm and tranquil whereas the Rakshas Tal remains stormy. 

Some Tibetan Buddhists believe that Mount Kailash is the abode of Tantrik meditational deity, Demchog. However, Hinduism beliefs have a timeless existence that begins with the beginning of the earth. And the Hindu epics depict Mount Kailash as the abode of Lord Shiva. The Jains also believe that the most significant deity in Jainism received enlightenment at Mount Kailash. The worldwide Hindu, Buddhists and Jain followers visit to circumambulate the holiest Mount Kailash. The popular belief prevalent about Mount Kailash is that the stairs-like structures in Mount Kailash are the stairways to heaven. Hinduism’s popular belief depicts the tales that show the god of regeneration and destruction, lord shiva resides at the holy mountain.

Kailash, Where Science Fails!

It is said that Mount Kailash can never be climbed because of the supernatural power it beholds. Few mountaineers attempted to climb Mount Kailash but they were unable to do so because of the sudden changes in weather and some sort of mysterious energy (in their terms) repel them from climbing the mountain. It is also said that the rapid aging occurs to those people who are near to it. The assumption behind the aging process states that the 12 hours spent in the Kailash area is somewhere equivalent to two weeks in normal conditions. With some unsolved mysteries, Mountain Kailash stands, holding the beauty of the divine spiritual power.

Further, the Russian scientists put forward the idea of Mount Kailash being a centre of this planet that connects the worldwide complex system with some mysterious and unexplained phenomena. However, the pyramidal phenomena, that Russian scientists believed, is not new.
