Case in point, I have imparted espresso dates to a neighborhood peruser I now call a companion. I have fielded early morning telephone calls from an Israeli peruser staying in one of the urban areas I went by in India back in October. I have reacted to various messages from gutsy ladies explorers who are looking for guidance or impulse as they set out all alone journies. When I was even reached by an honorable man from Dubai who was truly inquiring as to whether I had any gold mineworker or dealer contacts in Mali or Senegal (Huh!?). He was mindful of his strange demand through an unacknowledged email, however felt urged to compose in any case as he might have been "fascinated" by my online journal "in a particular manner." Goodness, the honeyed words!
The delightful article I am presenting today was sent on me from another of my grand perusers, an Indian named Vinod. He reached me asking for to submit a visitor post. From the start I was reluctant as I didn't know Vinod, yet chose it would be enjoyable to look into another piece of the world (I do think that it fascinating that taking a wooden pinasse up the Niger Waterway in Mali doesn't make me reluctant, yet amiable composed substance for my online journal from an outsider has me all excited. Go figure.). I am super amped up for the article he composed. Before Vinod reaching me I didn't think about the vitality of Mount Kailash and Lake Manasarovar… nor its existance. I trust you appreciate researching this wonderful corner of our reality as much as I did. Much appreciated, Vino

Sheltered by the magnificent Himalayas, Kailash-Manasarovar is one of the most important pilgrimage destinations today. The Skanda Purana (Hindu religious texts) quotes that this place is the home of Lord Shiva. Lake Manasarovar, otherwise known as Anotatta or Anavatapta, means a lake without any heat or trouble according to Pali Buddhist scripture and Sanskrit Buddhist writings. This region is revered by all the religions and people throughout the world in various ways. Associated myths and legends that surround the region prove the unity of all religions and that God is one.
Lake Manasarovar is nearby the sources of the four greatest rivers in Asia, respectively the Brahmaputra, Indus, Karnali and Sutlej. Hence it is considered to be the axial point of all the rivers, making it the most sought after pilgrim spot for thousands of years. According to Hindu mythology, the lake was first created in the thoughts of Lord Brahma and then placed on Earth. Its name, “Mansarovar” is a combination of the Sanskrit words “Manas” and “Sarovar” meaning “Mind” and “Lake” respectively. Per Hindu theology, one who drinks water from the lake will go to the Abode of Lord Shiva after death and is believed to be cleansed of all his sins committed over even a hundred lifetimes.
It is also believed that the lake is the home for the Hamsa goose in the summer time. The Hamsa goose is a very important symbol of the mythology, representing wisdom and beauty.
As this place is looked at as the most sacred pilgrimage spot in the whole of Asia, many Shiva devotees flock to the region of Kailash-Manasarovar Yatra to attain eternal bliss and soulful peace. They come seeking harmony and inner peace, and the holy shrine endows the pilgrims with great harmony, health and wealth. Some Tibetans also follow a tradition where they leave an item such as an article of clothing, a drop of blood, hair or a stone to symbolize leaving their egos and prejudices behind.
