Manasasarovar Yatra 2nd to 13th July 2009
The trip of a lifetime...or many lifetimes - Wow! An Ultimate & A Blissful Yatra.
Manasasarovar
In 1984, Chinese authorities first opened Tibet to the outside world. Today, it is still extremely difficult to reach the region, and the obstacles that people meet in trying to get here are frequently attributed to the sacred power of the mountain itself, which allows only those with sufficient spiritual preparation to gain a glimpse of its magical presence.
Holy Manasarovar in the form of dark blue waters is the most beautiful and highest fresh water lake at around 15,508 ft altitude. Manasarovar is to the south of Kailash mountain. It’s water is very sweet and said to posses medicinal properties. It is about four million years old. In Skanda Purana, it was stated that the lake was created out of Brahma’s mind. Hence it is called Manasa Sarovar. Sanaka, Sanandanna and other maharishis performed tapas here. It is said that Buddha’s mother before Budhdha's birth dreamt about a white elephant from Kailash mountain entering her womb. Daily at Brahma Muhurth time, it is said that Devatas come down and take bath, especially on the northern side. On fullmoon days people see the stars(Devatas) descending into the lake and go back. Mahatma Gandhi’s ashes have been mixed in these waters. It was also said that Arjuna received his pasupathastra here.
It was described in Mahabharata that Bhagavan Krishna went along with the pandavas and Dhoumya Maharshi to Mount Kailas from Badrinath. After fifteen days they reached there and were welcomed by Lord Mahadeva Himself whose darshan and hospitality made them very happy. Hence it well said that Lord Mahadeva gives darshan only to deserving people.

The yatra was indeed memorable with all of us experiencing an inner satisfaction and joy that comes only from truly blessed events. Each yatri to Mt. Kailash and Manasarovar will have unique experiences based on their spiritual inclinations and the grace of the lord at various times during the trips
