Guest guest Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 Hari OM! Dear Scholars, We all know Kailash Mountain is the only GOD's abode we can go with this physical body and comeback, they say in the shores of Manasarovar there are wish fulfilling trees etc. If the ancient people can see Lord Shiva and Parvathi in Kailash, why can't we see now. and they say Ravana have danced with Kailas mountain. and he want to carry it to Sri Lanaka, is it only stories or is it really happened? Please clarify. Symbolism and other things we can explain but in this mayaic world is it true?? With Love & OM! -- Krishna Prasad .. Yad yad aacarati sreshtah, tad tad eva itaro janah. As the Gita puts it, consistency of purpose and a spirit of dedication and, if necessary, sacrifice, should characterize the new spirit.

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 Ref post number 29762 Namaste RKP : A seemingly simple question with profound implications. I am not a scholar but a simple spiritual pilgrim but I am taking the liberty of answering your wonderful questions. You write : (Kailash Mountain is the only GOD's abode we can go with this physical body and comeback, they say in the shores of Manasarovar there are wish fulfilling trees etc.) This is true. Kailash is situated in Manasarovar, Himalayas and many pilgrims go on Tirthayatra to this holy place. That is the ouTwatd pilgrimage that everyone is aware of. However, there is an inner pilgrimage- The human body itself is a sacred holy place where the soul's journey starts from the Muladhara chakra and reaches the Sahasarachakra, upon which the YOGIS reach the goal of Self Realization is realized. . In this Sahasara chakra of Thousand petalled Lotus , Devi (shakti) herself sports with her eternal consort (shiva) in cosmic union. This is the celestial abode of the yogis - this is the 'Kailas' of all self realized yogis. Devi herself is the Wish fulfilling tree ( kalpavriksha) who resides as Kundalini Shakti ( Devatma Shakti - Divine Power) in the Muladhara chakra. This is the great Kundalini Sadhana practiced in Tantric circles. Shankara talks about this type of Sadhana in his Saundarya Lahari. Many self realized souls after successfully completing Inner pilgrimage undertake outer pilgrimage like Adi Shankara for Loka Sangraham or Loka kalyanam. The parivrajaka sanyasis do the same. So did Swami Vivekananda. Also, Parvati is Prakriti and Parameshwera is Purusha. Purusha is Soul. Prakriti is Cosmos. They are not opposite principles , conscious and unconscious . They are here recognized as identical in the highest spiritual experience. VERSE 51 in Avadjuta Gita says thus As water, when water has been poured into water, has no distinctions, so purusa and prakrti appear nondifferent to me. http://www.starwon.com.au/~soham/avadhuta/chap01.htm - 56k - Cached - Shivaa and Shiva are 'One' - duality is only in the mind. Narada Bhakti sutra says Athato Bhaktim Vyakhasamah Now we shall explain the path of devotion Meditate on the great cosmic couple and Reach Kailash with your mind, body and soul. Athato.....

Nitesh Bharadwaj (who played krishna in the TV series Mahabharata) has mentioned about his experiences of seeing hanumAn (considered to be shiva/rudra avatAr) on kailAsh parvat in his book Kailash-Manasarovar. There are many others who follow the vedic dharma even today who claim to have seen god, etc. Ramakrishna paramhamsa's visions of the Goddess are pretty much well known. Krishna Prasad-ji wrote: Symbolism and other things we can explain but in this mayaic world is it true?? praveen: IMHO, in this mAyic world, everything is as true or false as mAyA. If our seeing everything *physical* is considered true, then someone seeing Ishvara is equally true. shivam shaantam advaitam, --praveeN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
