KAILASH MANSAROVAR (Part-3)

Secrets of Mansarovar Lake and Rakshas Tal

 Manasarovar Lake is one of the highest freshwater lakes in the world, very sacred for Hindus and is round like the sun. The other lake Rakshas Tal (one of the highest salt-water lakes) is the devil’s lake and has the shape of the crescent moon. The two lakes represent solar and lunar forces, good and negative energies respectively.
Manasarovar and Rakshas Tal – are located next to each other and divided by a thin isthmus of the mountains. However, Lake Manasarovar remains calm irrespective of the weather conditions whereas Rakshas Tal stays constantly stormy. A single circumambulation of Mount Kailash equals one turn of the Wheel of Life and will wipe away the sins of one’s life.
According to Hindu mythology, Shiva resides at the summit of the Kailasha. It is regarded in Hinduism as Paradise, the ultimate destination of souls and the spiritual center of the world.According to a description in the Puranas, Mount Kailash's four faces are made of crystal, ruby, gold, and lapis lazuli; it is the pillar of the world; and is located at the heart of six mountain ranges symbolizing a lotus. From it flow four rivers.
.Gauri Kund, can be seen while going  downwards from Dolma Pass. The lake is also famous as “Parvati Sarovar” as this was the place where goddess Parvati had acquired her son Ganesha. Goddess Parvati had formed Ganesh from the soap lather on her body and breathed life into it.
Yam Dwar is situated approximately 30 minutes drive from Darchen. The exact meaning of the Yam Dwar  is “the gateway of the God of Death”. It is the initial point of circumambulation of Mount Kailash.
