Mystery of Mount
Kailash
It is very much surprising to note the fact that Mount
Kailash now in Tibet has never been climbed by any mountaineer. Sundaramurthy
Nayanar, Cheraman Perumal and avvaiyar who were said to belong to 8th century
visited Kailasa Parvatha or Mount Kailash. Also some 900 years ago It is heard
in stories that a mystic Tibetan Seer and poet named Milarepa was able to climb
the peak of Mount Kailash. Since then there is no trace of anybody having
claimed the said peak in the records.
Hinduism, Jainism,
Buddhism, and Bon are the 4 major religions that believe Mount Kailash to be a
sacred place.
Mount Everest is 8848 metre (29029 ft) in height and its
summit has been scaled by over 4,000 people, while Mount Kailash is 6638 metre
(21778 ft) and its summit remains unclimbed till date leaving the above two
incidents which lack the modern authenticity . So far nobody has any clue to
tell the mystic and inexplicable reason that is
beyond human control and understanding.
According to our theology Mount Kailash is the heavenly
abode of Lord Shankara with his consort Matha Parvathi Sons Ganesha and Skandha
with all the Pramatha Ganas. This is the
reason people adduce as to why no mortal has ever been able to climb it. Even
according to the ancient Tibetan legends and writings, “No mortal ever be
allowed to walk atop Mount Kailash which is the abode of the Gods and he who
dares to climb the Mount and trys to see the faces of the gods will be put to
death!”
British climbers Hugh Ruttledge and RC Wilson made the
first expedition to Mount Kailash, each based on a different route. Ruttledge
was convinced to climb the peak on the northern side of the mountain, but
unexpectedly he found very low temperature and the horizon covered by mist and was forced to return to base.
The same experience was encountered by Colonel Wilson also
who set out his expedition on the opposite side of the mountain, the southwest.
Just when he discovered a path for an easy walk to the summit of the mountain,
heavy snow began to fall, making the ascent impossible and made him reach the
base.
A few years later, Herbert Tichy Australian geologist and
mountaineer regional leader asked permission to climb the mountain. It is said
that he would be refused, saying: "Only an absolutely sinless man could
climb Mount Kailash. And such a man does not exist on Earth!"
Find the ashtounding reason given by Sergei Cistiakov, a
Russian climber for his inability to reach the summit: “When we approached the
foot of the mountain, my heart was pounding (heart throb we can say). I was in
front of the sacred mountain as if it was saying that it could not be conqured
by an ordinary human being. I felt extremely emaciated and suddenly I became
captivated by the thought that I do not belong on this mountain, it must
necessarily come back! As soon as we started the descent, I felt liberated.”
However we find no evidence of any Indian geologist, historian or a climber
ventured to solve the mistery. Every year thousands of Buddhist, Jain, Hindu
and Bönpo pilgrims circumambulate the foot of Mount Kailash, which is 52 km
long.
Some Russian scientists have studied the mountain to a
great extent and have put forward an idea that Mount Kailash could be a
man-made pyramid, and might be the ultimate paranormal phenomenon that connects
all the other such monuments in the world where similar things have been
observed. It is believed to be the centre of this world-wide system. Mt.
Kailash is believed to be the Axis Mundi, literally the ‘Axis’ of the world
that provides a connection between the earth and heaven, between the physical world
and the spiritual worlds, the celestial centre of the world where heaven meets
earth. Legend says that the Mt. Kailash is the earthly manifestation of Mount
Meru/Sumeru which is the spiritual centre of the universe according to
Buddhist, Jains, and Hindu cosmology.
Here is another strange thing for you to know. At the
height of 14,950 feet on the foothills of Mount Kailash, are Lake Mansarovar
and Lake Rakshastal which are adjscent to each other. Lake Mansarovar is known
to be the highest fresh water body in the world, while Lake Rakshastal has
salt-water in it. The shape of Mansarovar is that of the Sun, and Rakshastal
has the shape of the crescent Moon! Rakshastal is believed to be the lake of
Raavana or the demon, where he performed his penance to please Lord Shiva.
While Rakshastal is constantly stormy, lake Mansarovar remains calm throughout
all weather conditions. Those who visit the area around the mountain have seen
their nails and hair grow to a length in 12 hours, which in normal conditions
would happen in 2 weeks! The mountain has an air that causes rapid ageing.
Even with so many studies and many theories, it is believed
that no one has ever understood the real reason why Mount Kailash cannot be
climbed, why thousands attempted and failed despite of it being a mountain with
a height of 6638 metres which mountaineers should be able to do. But some
things are fine if they remain the mysteries that they are, no matter how much
intimidating they seem, or how long their history has been.

Wonderful article explaining the spiritual phenomena of
Mount kailash. But I read an authentic book on the life of Miarepa,but I never
came across this point of Milarepa climbing Mount Everest.He was a Great
Tantric who used his powers to destroy the sheep of his rivals by creating
titanic storm of stones.Later he realised his mistake and approached a great
Saint and underwent the greatest suffering as a part training under his guru
who knew what this fellow had done earlier.Finally he was relieved of his sins
and directly reaches the abode of God with his physical body.

I think the mountain is extremely difficult to climb. Also,
as it is too sacred for Hindus as well as Buddhists, there are many people
visiting each year. The climbing of the mountain hurts the sentiments of the
people and so, mountaineers are not interested in climbing and many times even
the government doesn't give permission.

The inner core yatra of Mt Kailash is very very difficult
and many die during the innercore yatra.That being the case it is difficult to
move above that point for any human being.of course scientists may design new
gadgets and amy climb it but Chinese govt, will not permit.
