Srikhanda Kailasha Yātrā - Submerging in Cosmic Shiva Energy

Vlog of Srikhanda Kailasha yātrā, one of the 5 Kailash - an immensely challenging yātrā undertaken in hazardous & extreme weather conditions - achieved only due to Mahādeva’s blessings.

“The path of Mahādeva is full of poison, but if you fear poison you will never find Mahadev.”

Through the puranic story of Bhasmāsura, one of the legends of Srikhand Mahadev, Dr. Kesarkar provides insight into the micro & macro algorithms of cosmic creation. Bhasma (ash) is the final, non transformable state - the reality of all creation - Mahadeva. Despite the ultimate boon of bhasma, without an ability to turn his senses inwards, Bhasmāsura remains attached to their outward projections & through this delusion tries to destroy Mahadeva. Through Visnu arising as Mohini, we see how we are constantly entranced by changing forms - believing his illusory allure - our outward attachment to sense projections, thereby turning to ash. The potential at any moment is inwards to submerge in cosmic Siva Tattva, imbibing the energy of Srikhand Mahadeva.
