himalayas

Earth once asked Vishnu: “Why do you come in the form of mountains and not in your form?” 

Vishnu replied: “The pleasure that exists in mountains is greater than that of animate beings, for they feel no heat, nor cold, nor pain, nor anger, nor fear, nor pleasure. We three gods as mountains will reside in the earth for the benefit of mankind.”

With this phrase, let’s get into the essence of the Spirituality of the Himalayas.

A blanket of glaciated sheets of the Himalayas has been worshiped and admired by a large scale of people for years. Considered as the hidden milestone, everyone is in a desperate urge to attain the inner peace and satisfaction of the soul by climbing these dangerous heights. These Secret spiritual places of Himalayas are known to be endured and accessed only by the people who have given their body, mind, and soul in the name of divine powers, by giving up on their luxurious lives. These Spiritual Himalayan Places can only be attained by yogis, monks, yetis, saints, sadhus, and anyone who has been practicing the yogic life for years.

Spirituality comes within, hence, these places are kept hidden due to their sacred and religious integrity. These secret places, imbibed with spiritism, are a holy roof for yogis to live in peace and solace. The yogis discharge themselves from their bodies to charge their souls with divine powers and to find the answers to their lost souls. To set their life free and to submit it all to the spirit by enduring the hardships and sufferings. 

Believe it or not, the Himalayas have a spiritual aura about them that has invited people to visit these foothills. The question is, what do they find or attain, after undergoing a dangerous path that risks their lives? 

Mountains are calling you to submit yourself, to achieve the absolute end, to set your life free, for the purification of your soul, to experience the hardships and suffering, to resist these sufferings of life. This call from the mountain is never excused, and it urges you to travel more and more, irrespective of your sufferings or living conditions.

Shri-Khand-Mahadev

2. Shri Khand Mahadev

The Shivling, when looked at from the front, has cracks in it and for this reason, it is named Shri ‘KHAND’ Mahadev. Usually, a piece that cracks is thrown away or not considered valuable. But, this mountain range holds a massive value amongst the people of India, specifically Hindus.

Kanchengyao Mountain

3. Kanchengyao Mountain

This 17800ft, the decider high-altitude lake is a source of the Teesta River, placed on a side of the Kanchengyao mountain range. According to the legends, it was dried and frozen all year long. But, magically, the lake has a small portion that never dries out,  no matter the weather. Even if you take a trip to the valley in freezing winters, unbelievably you will find a watery part that stays unfrozen!

To unfold the mystery, the locals believe that a Buddhist Guru, named Padmasambhava, who was also known for his magnificent knowledge of Tantrics, once, while traveling to Tibet, touched a concrete spot and blessed it to remain unfrozen. Since that time, the half unfrozen lake has been the source of survival for a lot of creatures.

Hard to believe, but visitors and locals demand to travel through this secretively unbelievable valley desperately. 

Roopkund Lake

4. Roopkund Lake

Roopkund Lake comes up with a breathtaking mystery, the range has a spot bulked up with human remains, skeletal bones, and skulls on the rock. 

Why are they found? Where did it all come from? 

No one knows. 

There are two theories or myths associated with the bunch of skulls, one says that the bones belong to the dead soldiers of WW2 and the other theory states that it belongs to a king’s family, cursed by a goddess to die this way.  

You can choose whichever theory is suitable for you to believe. But, the fact is that the bunch of bones is still an unresolved mystery. 

This place has happened to be secretly spiritual and scary at the same time. It can be called pleasant during winters. But, during summers, the ice starts to melt, and the water gushes down horrifyingly with visible bones, skeleton figures, and more. The locals have also noticed jewels, leather, fabric, etc. attached to the watery flow of skulls and bones.
