Mystery of kailash

 

   MOUNT KAILASH 

Mount Kailash is one of the most mysterious places on Earth. So, I chose the theory that is most accepted in present times. 

Mount Kailash as the Center of the Earth Hypothesis

It suggests that Mount Kailash is not only the physical center of the Earth but also its spiritual axis, connecting Heaven and Earth. This is rooted in ancient cosmologies and supported by symbolic, geographical, and mythological perspectives across various religious traditions, especially Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. It suggests that this is neither a natural nor man-made mountain, but it is made by spiritual powers. This is widely accepted as there is no proper explanation for its mysteries -people successfully climbed Mount Everest but, no one was able to climb up Mount Kailash. Travelers around Kailash report experiencing strange effects on time, such as feeling like time has passed more quickly than expected or noticing accelerated nail and hair growth during brief stays in the area. 

  ABOUT THIS HYPOTHESIS-

In this hypothesis, we believe that Mount Kailash is positioned at an ideal central point on Earth. Mount Kailash is often called the "axis mundi" or "world axis" in religious texts. The "axis mundi" is a mythological concept that refers to a sacred point that connects the heavens, earth, and underworld, a spiritual "spine" of the world. Similar ideas appear in many cultures (e.g., Mount Meru in Hinduism and Buddhism, and Yggdrasil in Norse mythology). In Hindu mythology, Mount Kailash is the abode of Lord Shiva and Tibetan Buddhism considers Kailash as the residence of Demchok (Chakrasamvara).  Many legends and mythologies speak of Mount Kailash as a cosmic "origin point," where creation itself began, or cosmic balance is maintained. In these accounts, Kailash is depicted as the primary, stable anchor of the world that maintains the harmony of all elements and cosmic forces.While scientific research does not support the Earth having a "spiritual center," some theorists argue that the mountain’s precise alignment with certain other sacred sites globally cannot be coincidental. They propose that ancient knowledge might have existed about the planet's energies and that Kailash was intentionally revered as a spiritual center for this reason.

OTHER HYPOTHESES RELATED TO IT -

1. Pyramid or Man-Made Structure Hypothesis:

Some researchers have noted that Kailash’s shape resembles a stepped pyramid, with four faces aligned roughly with the cardinal directions. This has led to theories that Kailash might have been an ancient monument or artificial structure rather than a natural mountain.

2. Shambhala Portal Hypothesis :

 According to Tibetan Buddhist tradition, Shambhala is a hidden realm of enlightened beings. Some believe that Kailash, due to its isolation and mystique, maybe a portal to this hidden kingdom, accessible only to the spiritually advanced. This is just another mythological-based hypothesis.     

3. Geomagnetic Energy Vortex Hypothesis:

Some alternative scientists and mystics believe that Kailash is situated at a confluence of ley lines or Earth's energy grid, creating a natural energy field that affects consciousness and the physical body. This vortex theory is said to explain the intense spiritual experience many pilgrims report.

According to me, the existing hypothesis is not very effective, for a better one we need to dedicated study on it. All existing hypothesis is only based on mythological books and some travelers' experiences and solid hypotheses need scientific research work. I hope that we will definitely make a more realistic theory in upcoming future.
