THE FIRST ENCOUNTER WITH KAILASH

The ride from Tholling to Darchen is six hours long. Three hundred kilometers of the narrow, mostly asphalted road going through the enormous valleys surrounded by the mountain chains. Occasionally there was grass and the herds of yaks.
On the horizon, you can see the mountain tops covered by the snow. The highest are regular, with triangle endings. They strive to the sky. The two visible sides with two edges each drew attention to my eye. The neighbouring mountains are regular stair pyramids with a plateau on the top. Tsenko calls out, have you seen this, and look at the one over there…
Very unusual. I never saw such big concentration of the regular, pyramidal tops. Some are three-sided, but most of them are four-sided pyramids.

It was the lunch break. One street was with the shops and restaurants. We enter the best one. The meals are all pretty similar, so we ordered the potatoes and noodles with salad. At least we thought we did. I look for the toilet. The waitress sent me in the garden. There is no toilet, but there is a larger yard with no one around. The natural restroom.

Hours of riding have passed, and there were the two new pyramidal endings. It’s clearly visible that in the distance there are two pyramidal endings. The sky was cloudy, but in front these two tops there was the hexagonal hole formed in the clouds. The hexagon is the mightiest geometrical form. Tsenko and Boris were overjoyed. We stop the van and take some photos.
“This cosmic gate could maybe be invisible if there weren’t any clouds,” Tsenko said.
“The cosmic gate”, I was repeating myself. The game of nature or Tsenko is right?

After five-hour ride, Jang the guide points to the left.
“Kailash!”
And really, the familiar form is in front of me. It reminds me on the plate from the top of the Black Jaguar Pyramid in Tikal, Guatemala. Relatively flat side, edges visible, rising high above the surrounding mountain tops. In front of it there is a similar, but the smaller mountain.
“That is little Kailash”, Tsenko says.
Indeed, they look alike.
This is my first encounter with Kailash.
I close my eyes. One palm I turn towards the ground, asking modestly to connect with the Earth’s energy, and the second palm I turn to Kailash.
MEDITATION
Underneath Kailash are beings which are managing the Planet for endless time. They take care of its health. They follow the processes up on the surface. Not ancient, only the main ones which can affect the global processes.
The existence of Tibetans or Chinese in Tibet is insignificant to them, as long as they don’t hurt the Planet. The spirituality and life in harmony with the nature practised by Tibetans is something they approve.
How do I know that this information is accurate, and not my creation or product of the memory of the descriptions made by others that I have read at some point? How to be certain that this “control centre” really exists under Kailash?
Open your heart. Be clear.

We were arriving at Darchen. The starting point for the Kailash Cora. Ten years ago, this was a small camp. Now it is a village, with shops and hostels. We enter the best one and look at the rooms. They are all three-bedded and six-bedded rooms. No electricity. They said that it was snowing yesterday and since then it’s gone. But, they expect that it will arrive tonight at seven. We won’t have the heating, but warm water maybe. Anyway, it’s hard to imagine having a shower at zero degrees.
The snowflakes started to fall. The thick clouds covered Darchen.
I’m switching two quilts and two blankets on one bed. Soon I fell asleep. Tomorrow is Cora around the sacred lakes, and in three days is Kailash Cora.
