KAILASH - MY ULTIMATE DESTINATION !


Majestic, Magnificient and truly one place I passionately dream of going to. Iam fortunate that i atleast know that such a magical place exists on earth. The first time I heard about Kailash was in 2002 when I happened to play a cd on Kailash yatra by Ramakrishna mission. When i look back today, I had never known or yearned to see this place till somebody gave me the cd to watch. Watching a video of it, itself aroused unexpected overwhelming feelings in me, which happened very naturally. Iam sure this is an experience that everyone goes through. Surprisingly, i got addicted to watching the cd almost everyday. After a month or so some of my very good friends came over to visit me. They gave me a small bottle of water and asked me to have it like theertham. I was taken aback when i learnt that this was the water of the Infinite manasarovar lake near Kailash. For a moment, I was zapped as then "Kailash Manasarovar" had formed an underlying current in my thought process. To top it all, in about a year from then, I found myself watching a presentation on a kailash mansarovar trip, to which we were invited. I stopped to think and realised, it was God himself who put this beautiful desire in me and I made up my mind, I must go to Kailash atleast once in a lifetime. The experience that one gets by just gazing at a picture of Kailash is unimaginable. I've always felt I belong there and I've been thrown far away because of my own doings. Iam like a baby who forgot or lost her mother and finally found her but still can't reach her! Visualizing Kailash itself brings forth a gush of love and peace in our hearts which cannot be comprehended or experienced by our logical minds. The energy that kailash vibrates with, is meant to be absorbed and understood. Iam looking forward to the end of one journey and the beginning of another, on a trip to my ultimate destination - Kailash!!
