Kailas Manasarovar
È la base di tutte le guide al Kailash. Tutti han copiato da questo libro, quasi introvabile nella edizione originale (ne avevo trovata una nella Pilgrim a Thamel - KTM), chiedevano 100 US$ e gliel'ho lasciata. Ripubblicata in anastatica.

For Hindus, Mount Kailash is the earthly manifestation of Mt. Meru, the spiritual centre of the universe around which all else revolves. With its roots in the lowest hell and its summit kissing the heavens, where on top live Lord Shiva and Parvati.
Jains call the mountain Astapada and believe it to be the site where Rishaba, their first Tirthankara (spiritual leader) achieved enlightenment. For Tibetans, Mt. Kailash is known as Kang Rimpoche (Precious Jewel of Snow) and is seen as the navel of the world and the abode of Chakrasamvara. Followers of the older, more ancient religion of Bon believe the mountain is the where their founder Shenrab is said to have descended from heaven. |
