Relevance of Kailash Mansarovar Yatra in our life

 

As per Hindu scriptures, Kailash Mansarovar Yatra is a complete tribute to the Lord who lives in the solace of the mountains with his consort Devi Parvati. One has to travel through the rigorous mountainous terrains of the Himalayas and the Terai plains of Nepal to reach the sacred region of Mt. Kailash. In Hindu mythology, there is a canon of philosophy exists around the idea of Prakriti and Purusha. Goddess Parvati symbolizes Prakriti and Lord Shiva as Purusha. The religious believers think that the radiant androgynous form of Shiva and Parvati appears natural terrains of Mt. Kailash. Thousands of pilgrims travel to this sanctified site to witness the power of wisdom and truth. In Hindu mythology, the phonetics of Om signifies an inner strength to oblige to divinity. The world revolves around the essence of Lord Shiva. When one steps into the beauty of Mt. Kailash, one can easily perceive the truth of spirituality.

 

The trip to this holy land accomplishes with the journey to Lake Mansarovar as well. Our corporeal life is revolved around the idea of life and death. In a similar way, it is said that the journey to Mt. Kailash accomplishes with the visit to Lake Mansarovar. This lake symbolizes a streamline of consciousness. Before stepping into Mt. Kailash one has to purify the soul and body. According to religious scriptures, out from the mind of Lord Brahma, the lake was created. The cosmic beauty of Kailash Mansarovar Yatra allures the pilgrims to tie a knot with spirituality for a lifetime.

 

Significance of circumambulation and holy bath

 

Everyone believes that to encounter the divine power one has to comprehend the accumulated definition of spirituality. For attaining liberation through the path of divinity one has to endure hardships in the course of life. The circumambulation is the physical attribution performed by the pilgrims on their way to Mt. Kailash. In such a pristine location, Kailash Mansarovar stands out as the symbol of wisdom and truth. The pilgrimage tour is like a cultural tour that brings a complete amalgamation of mind and soul with religiosity. The holy dip in the water of Lake Mansarovar is like purifying the body and soul. The spiritual thinkers suggest taking a bath in Lake Mansarovar between the Brahmamuhurta (3am-5am). The others also believe that before stepping into the sanctimonious region of Mt. Kailash should devoid of any kind of impurities in body and soul. In Hindu mythology, the idea of karma is quite well celebrated for its value. This pilgrimage tour transfigures the ultimate definition of life. One becomes a completely new entity after surrendering their true identity in front of the spiritual head, Lord Shiva. Everyone travels there to install a pious bond of spirituality with the devoted lord. This circumambulation is like a life transmitting phenomenon that wipes away any committed sins of a lifetime. The pilgrims believe that this one sacred journey is like a life turning point to establish a divine relationship with the divinity.

 

Why Muktinath

 

In this itinerary, we, Nepal Tourism design the itinerary to give the pilgrims a complete exposure to the world of spirituality. In this particular itinerary, one will visit Muktinath along with Kailash Mansarovar. The pilgrims believe that Muktinath tour embellishes the idea of liberation. For renouncing worldly pleasure one has to devote own self for the lord. This particular pilgrimage tour brings devoted souls to the ultimate sphere of spirituality. Due to the impact of mundane life, one loses the purpose of life. The pilgrimage tour reaffirms the true definition of life. Muktinath tour along with Kailash Mansarovar Yatra is like a revelation of the spiritual world for the pilgrims. One comprehends the true meaning of liberation in this tour. It is the tour of reclaiming the belief towards spirituality.
