Sri Kailash Shila Mahima

[Guest guest]

"Om namah shivaya!Om namah shivaya!Om namah shivaya!" This is the

Sanskrit mantra (invocation) chanted by pilgrims and devotees of Lord Shiva

as they walk (clock wise) around the great, unscaled, sacred Himalayan peak,

Mount Kailasa. This chant means, "Om, I bow to Lord Shiva." And this act of

great austerity is considered by both Hindus & Buddhists alike as a very pious

and difficult sacrifice leading to good fortune and ultimate beautitude.

 

In the Sanskrit-English dictonary of Prof. V.S. Apte, "Kailasa" is defined as,

"Name of a mountain, a peak of the Himalayas and residence of Shiva." In the

same dictonary, "Shiva" is defined as, "Auspicious, propitious, lucky, in good

health or condition, happy, prosperious, fortunate, God bless!, name of the

third God of the sacred Hindu Trinity (Tri-guna-avatara's), who is entrusted

with the work of universal destruction, as Brahma and Visnu are with the

creation and preservation of the (material) world(s) respectively."

 

Shiva also has many other meanings listed such as, "Final beatitude, the

male organ (lingam), the Vedas (ancient Sanskrit scriptures), and the

husband of Goddess Durga (Maya-devi), who is also known as Sati, Uma,

and Parvati; and she is Shiva's shakti (material energy). Together Lord Shiva

and Goddess Durga reside on Mount Kailasa for the duration of the cosmic

manifestation or the life-span of the temporary material universe.

 

Stones (rocks) from Mount Kailasa are brought back by the stalwart devotees

who take the one-two month trip to walk around the base of the sacred Mount.

These stones or "bits" of Mount Kailasa are considered to be non-different

from Lord Shiva, who is greater than the sum total of the entire universe;

therefore it is considered an "offence" to buy or sell a Sri Kailasa-sila

(stone).

It is impossible to place a "material value" on a Sri Kailasa-mani.

om namo bhagawate rudraya

 

this is the first time i am hearing from you that stones from the reverred mount

kailash are collected, brought back to the cities and are made available to the

interested shiv bhakts for worship. since no price tag is attahced to shilas

be it saligram or this kailsh shila, would you be kind enough to advise me the

source in india which is making available the kailash shilas and also the

donations for getting them, as i am personally interesed in having one for

myself.
