"KAILASH."

in #travel8 years ago

Among the many paradises of the universe in the "Srimad Bhagavatam" describes the Kailas, the abode of Lord Shiva. WHY DO PEOPLE WANNA GO TO HEAVEN? Because much like sex! All that for a man born on earth, is considered sinful and creates inferiority complex in the order of things in Heaven, in the Kingdom of Indra. Whether we are talking about intoxication (soma Rasa) or sex in Heaven full of pleasures and, most importantly, not have to work! Eat, drink, enjoy and have fun. Unlike traditional Paradise described in the writings of theologians, Kailas no base desires, arising under the influence of passion and ignorance.
"Kailas, the abode of Lord Shiva, replete with plants and herbs. It is sanctified by Vedic hymns and mystic yoga practice, so it is inhabited by the demigods, who from birth endowed with all mystic powers. In addition to the demigods, there are the kinnaras and Gandharvas with their beautiful angelic spouses who are called apsaras.

The peaks of Kailasa studded with precious stones and different minerals, and its slopes are overgrown with fine trees and other plants. The top of the mountain is decorated with grazing herds of deer and antelopes.
With its numerous slopes, cascading waterfalls and the scenic caves are the beautiful wives of the mystics.
Sweet peacocks the day and night announce Kailas with their melodious cries. The air is filled with the buzzing of bees, the singing of cuckoos and the chirping of other birds, gently perspectivalist between them.
Tall trees, reaching for the sky branches, like the sweet call of birds. When herds of elephants pass through the hills, it looks like Mount Kailash is moving in sync with them, and when the hearing came the sound of waterfalls, it seems that the roaring of Kailas itself.
The slopes of Kailasa is decorated with trees of various species, among which we can mention Mandara, parijata, Sarala, tamale, kovideo, asana, Arjuna, AMPA-jati (mango), Kadamba, dhuli-Kadamba, Naga, punnaga, Ciampac, Patala, Ashoka, bakulu, Kundu and Karabakh. The whole mountain immersed in the greenery of these trees, covered with flowers that exude a lovely scent.
Golden Lotus, cinnamon, malate, Kubja, Malika and madhavi also adorn this mountain.
Trees kata, breadfruit, Gulara, Bunyan, Plaksa, nyagrodha and Ferula doing Kailas more beautiful. In addition, there are growing betel, bhurja Patra, rajappa, BlackBerry and other plants.
Mango trees, priyala, madhuka and Ingoda and monkeybaby, out and many other varieties of bamboo adorn the slopes of mount Kailash.
There you can find various kinds of Lotus, such as kumuda, utpala and sethaputra. A small lake on which float gently overlapping birds make this forest is like a magic garden. In his thicket of deer, monkeys, wild boars, lions, rickshaws, Shallaki, forest cows and Asses, tigers, deer, Buffalo and other animals, enjoying life, frolicking on the slopes of Kailasa.
Deer of various kinds: karantsi, escapade, akwasi, vicii Kasturi (musk deer) roam through the forest and along the banks of small lakes located in the mountain valleys, grow groves of banana trees.
There is a small lake Alakanandā, whose waters are sacred. Every day performed ablution Sati. Seeing Kailas, the demigods were amazed by the unique beauty and wealth of this land.
Although the General outline of the description given in the Bhagavatam is somewhat reminiscent of the garden of Eden, but the geographical location of this Paradise beyond the perception of our imperfect senses.
It is amazingly beautiful place, which opened the eyes of demigods is called Alaka. It is located in the forest Suganthini, which means "fragrant". It got its name because it grows a lot of lotuses.
Sometimes Alak called Alaka-Puri. The same name is the abode of Kuvera. The abode of Kuvera, however, impossible to see with Kailasa. Consequently, the area under the name of alak, which is in question here, and Alaka-Puri Kuvera, two different places. According to Veeraraghavan Acarya, alak means "extremely beautiful". In this area, opened the eyes of the demigods, grow Lotus varieties sugandha that exudes an incomparable fragrance.
It is said that the waters of lakes and rivers on the Kailas consecrated by the dust of the Lotus feet of the Supreme personality of Godhead, Govinda.... these rivers descend on their air ships of nebozhitelnitsa with their husbands. Soothe lust, they are included in their water and amuse themselves with their husbands, sprinkling them with water.
The consciousness of the women of the heavenly planets are also polluted by thoughts of sex enjoyment, and therefore they come in airplanes to the two rivers Nanda and Alakananda to dip them in. It is significant that the water of the rivers Nanda and Alakanandā, consecrated by the dust of the Lotus feet of the Supreme personality of Godhead. In other words, just as the water of the Ganges is considered sacred, because it flows from the toes of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Narayana, water or any items used in the service of the Supreme personality of Godhead, is also considered pure and sanctified. All that somehow comes into contact with the Lotus feet of the Lord is immediately freed from material contamination - based on this principle all the rules of devotional service. The damsels of the heavenly planets, whose consciousness is polluted by thoughts of sex life, come down to bathe in the Holy rivers and frolic in their waters with their husbands. Having slaked their lust, they fall into despair. Although sexual pleasure is considered natural need, but satisfy it, they don't feel happy. Therefore, a reasonable person simply takes shelter at the Lotus feet of Lord Narayana. One who has unflinching faith in the Lotus feet of the Lord can cleanse by his presence any place, making it Holy and hell to make heaven. Tīrtha-kurvanti tirthani (Bhag., 1.13.10). The pure devotee consecrates the place in which he lives; any place where the Lord or His pure devotee immediately becomes a place of pilgrimage. In other words, no matter what corner of the universe was a pure devotee who is entirely absorbed in the service of the Lord, that place immediately becomes a Saint and a devotee can truly serve him to the Lord, doing His will.
After the women from the heavenly planets bathe in the river, the water in it turns yellow and fragrant from the kuṅkuma, washed away from their bodies. Attracted by the smell, to the river come the elephants with the elephants. They bathe in it and drink from it, although they are not thirsty.
The airplanes of the gods decorated with pearls, gold and precious stones. And the inhabitants of heaven are like clouds passing in the sky, which is decorated with a sudden flash of lightning, illuminating the whole sky.
The airplanes of the inhabitants of Paradise are different from planes. Primitive earthly aircraft lifted into the air by mechanical engines, but on other planets, the airplanes do not have engines, they move in space with the help of mantras. Denizens of heavenly planets used airships mainly for entertainment, traveling at them from one planet to another. The inhabitants of the planets, which are called Siddhaloka can fly from one planet to another without the aid of aircraft. Wonderful air-ships, which fly the inhabitants of the heavenly planets, are compared here with the sky as they fly through the sky, their passengers compares with clouds, and the beautiful woman of heaven - lightning. In other words, the airplanes with their passengers on Kailas in the higher planets, was a remarkably beautiful sight. While traveling, the demigods passed over the forest Sugandhi, which in abundance grow flowers, fruit trees and wishing trees. Flying over the forest, they saw the possession of Aksesuari.
Other name Aksesuary - Kuvera. He is the Treasurer of the demigods. In the Vedic literatures at the mention of him they say that he is fabulously rich. Kailas is located near the home of Kuvera. It also says that in the forest grew Sugandhim many desire trees. From "Brahma-Samhita" we know that trees desire to grow in the spiritual world, first and foremost, on the Kṛṣṇaloka, the abode of Lord Krishna. But it is understood that the wishing trees by the mercy of Krishna also grow on Kailas, the abode of Lord Shiva. This fact shows that Kailash has a special position in the universe, it is almost on the same level as the abode of Lord Krishna.
In Paradise woods lived many red-necked birds. Their gentle chirping mingled with the buzzing of bees. The surface of a lake overgrown with Lotus flowers with strong stems, adorned flock of swans clicking frenzy.
Forest Sugandhi was made even more beautiful because there were many lakes. On the surface of these lakes, as described here, growing Lotus flowers, and the thickets of frolicking swans, whose shouts mingled with bird song and buzzing bees.
You can imagine how beautiful was the place and what a pleasure experienced flying over him by the demigods. People have created on earth many parks and other beautiful places, but none of them can match the beauty described here Kilcoy.
Nature worried about the blood forest elephants, herds of which roamed the forest of sandalwood. A slight breeze brought nebozhitelnitsa arrived there in agitation, and they became eager to enjoy the love games.
Anyone who turns in some beautiful place of the material world, his mind immediately there is sexual desire. It is peculiar not only to people but to all who live in the material world, including the inhabitants of the higher planetary systems. In contrast to the atmosphere of the material world, the atmosphere of the spiritual world has no such influence on the minds living in it living beings. Women in the spirit world in hundreds and even thousands of times more beautiful inmates of the material world, and the conditions there are also not comparable with the conditions of the world, and yet, despite relaxing to enjoy the atmosphere, the inhabitants of the spiritual world do not get excited because inspired minds living in the Vaikuntha planets of living beings completely absorbed in the spiritual vibration that occurs when the glorification of the Lord. The glorification of the Lord brings such bliss that all other enjoyment, even sex, which is the highest pleasure in the material world fade before him. In other words, in the Vaikuntha planets living beings have no desire to enjoy sex in spite of the favorable atmosphere and conditions. In the Bhagavad-gītā (2.59) it is stated: param dresta nivartate - the inhabitants of the world of Vaikuntha are at a level of spiritual development that sexual pleasure lost for them, all charm.
On the absolute platform, "Paradise" and "hell" lose their meaning. For a person in kṛṣṇa consciousness, material world, which is created from the impure desires, ceases to exist; beyond good and evil, everything is spiritual. Just as the materialist does not see the soul and denies the existence of God, for it is a just matter – because the man who knows himself as the soul, does not see matter, for him everything is spiritua
