What makes Kailāsh sacred for Indians, Nepalis & Tibetans? Why is Indian sub-continent called a dweepa (an island)? The post explores an incredible connection between these apparently different topics
Awesome post. A lot of mythology, religion, rituals and our culture is heavily influenced by Geography. You tying this up makes so much sense. Even I have been wondering for long on why so much hullabaloo about Mt. Kailash (unlike river Ganga which sustains so much life along its away and hence can be godly). This makes it easier.
Dhanyavaada! The purpose behind this newsletter is to look at intersections of geography, culture and philosophy and not in silos. I have just finished a three part series on Ganga which might interest you :)
All the more reason why Chiam should not own mt.kilash. They don't comprehend its importance
