Kailash with Mohanji

The journey to Kailash and back, over lifetimes and over centuries, has resonated within countless souls. Over a fifth of the world’s population finds the echo of Kailash in its deepest aspirations and purest goals. Among the thousands of the devout who ever tread this ground, this year only a small group will have an opportunity to experience something truly special and life-transforming.
In July 2023, a small group of people will open up to the profound mystery of Kailash, allowing the mighty Kailash to envelop them on the most sacred journey of the lifetime! Team Mohanji lovingly invites all who feel ready for this challenge to participate in the “Kailash with Mohanji 2023” pilgrimage.

The Significance of Kailash

Up north from the vast plains of the Ganges valley in India, beyond the Kingdom of Nepal and north east of the great Himalayas lies the roof of the world, the land of snows – Tibet, home to the holiest mountain in the world -the abode of Shiva – The Mt. Kailash. Sacred to a ­fifth of the world’s population, a journey to Mount Kailash is the ultimate pilgrimage for Hindus, Buddhists, Tibetan, Bon and Jains. Mystical, magical and sacred, Kailash and Mansarovar have a place in the human ethos, seldom given to any other pilgrimage destination.
Around 40 kilometers from its southern base lies the beautiful Mansarovar, the world’s highest freshwater lake. Famed for its exceptional beauty, its sacred waters change color from a clear blue around the shores to a deep emerald green in the center. It looks positively magical in the moonlight. Together with Mansarovar, this mountain is surrounded by innumerable myths, stories and legends that add to the mystique of this most unapproachable place on earth.
Mount Kailash is one of the most important energy portals of the earth as it has been consistently accepted as the Earth’s crown chakra or Sahasrara chakra in many ancient historical references. The tantric masters of India, through their correspondences of “As above, so below,” state that the Supreme Consciousness in a human being or Lord Shiva resides both upon the physical Mount Kailash, as well as upon the “Mount Kailash” within the body, that is, the human crown chakra. The spiritual importance of Kailash dates back to the Bon and Hindu religions. Sacred to ­five major religions of the world, the Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs, Jains and Bons, Kailash is the physical aspect of the spiritual Mt. Meru, a tangible aspect of divinity on Earth.
Note: Mohanji will be in Kathmandu with the group to orient them. He will conduct satsangs and bless them when they leave Kathmandu for the pilgrimage. He will return from Kathmandu and not physically travel further on the pilgrimage. He will, of course, be with the group in consciousness and support them to get the maximum from this journey of a lifetime.

The emotional and spiritual cleansing from this pilgrimage will alter your approach to life, depending on your receptivity.

This pilgrimage has the effect of diluting and reducing accumulated karmic baggage, and elevating and raising our frequency. The constitutional changes are extremely potent and intense. The wisdom and clarity, which can only come from the consciousness of a true Master, go a long way towards helping us maintain a peaceful, stable and happy internal space, regardless of which circumstances and environment we might ­nd ourselves in, long after the pilgrimage is over.

Kailash Mansarovar Yatra Tracks

Outer Kora Track

The Outer Kora (parikrama) track includes the 3-day circumambulation trekking around the holy Mt. Kailash. During this 3-day trek, the pilgrim treks uphill for about 4 to 5 hours to reach the top of Dolmala Pass (5800m) then trek down to the valley floor. This is challenging and tough for many people and requires a good level of physical fitness, though there is the option to ride mules and have sherpas carry the baggage.

Mansarovar / Darchen Track

In addition, we have the Lake Mansarovar / Darchen track. This group will have the opportunity to travel to Yama Dwar and return back to the hotel from there. Then the pilgrim stays back at Darchen when the pilgrims proceed for the Outer Kora. They will spend two days at the hotel / guest house in Darchen, soaking in the energy of the space and having darshan of Mount Kailash from time to time (as and when the clouds permit!). This is suitable for people who want to experience the grandeur of Kailash and visit the holy lake of Mansarovar but are not able to undergo the physical rigors of the Outer Kora.

Kailash Yatra (Pilgrimage) in Mohanji’s Words

“Kailash! The world of Shiva! The world that encompasses all worlds! Only one thing really matters in this journey – GRACE.

Kailash stands in the middle of many mountains,like the eternal Shiva Linga. Clouds constantly perform “abhishek” (ritual bathing of the deity) on the Linga. The Shiva Linga represents the Supreme Lord, The Eternal Parabrahma. Only when Shiva calls can one touch the soil surrounding Kailash. It is the ultimate destination of every man. It is the abode of salvation, the ultimate dissolution. Kailash reflects everything that makes life on earth. Being one with Shiva! Being Shiva!

When a man touches his feet in the soil of Kailash, his journey of life becomes meaningful, fulfilled and his life becomes complete. Various places of power exist in the world. Each opens up a different dimension in us. Amongst all those places, Kailash is incomparable. Kailash is the ultimate. Kailash is all about dissolution. Kailash is that which is “unmanifested.” Kailash represents supreme consciousness without boundaries, without form, which is your TRUE state.

Our trip to Kailash is an attempt to connect to and experience the complete “being”-ness. Shiva shakes us up, removes all our masks, and makes us completely naked.

With a visit to Kailash, we are making a statement or commitment to Shiva, “I am ready to be YOU completely. You & I are one” which will be beyond karma – a statement or a commitment for complete dissolution.

Happy Journey! May the Supreme Lord Shiva make your journey of life successful and fulfilling!”
