The two women walk to ancient monasteries, meditate on freezing slopes, dance on the foothills of Kailash, and confront death in the thin mountain air.

Kailash Manasarovar:A Sacred Journey dwells on this question and perceives the possibility for the three stages of inner transformation during the journey, using the Devi Mahatmayam as a metaphor. The journey shows that it takes just a shift in perspective to behold the divine in the mundane. By eroding the conditioning of our essence, the journey helps us connect with a pure centre, marking the beginning of interactions which are actions, rather than mere reactions to situations. From this point on, it is in maintaining a heightened awareness of one?s emotions, memories, surroundings and companions that makes the journey more meaningful.

It is a narrative of her arduous yet highly rewarding trek to Kailash Mansarovar in the company of some forty men and women,young and old, about thirty years ago.

The book will be of interest to those who intend to visit Mansarovar ( it contains useful tips for them ), no less to those who have made the visit, and of course to those who never will.

Book excerpt: 14 Days To Kailash Mansarovar is the story of a journey into one of the most holy and remote places on earth, through the experiences of the author, a close friend and two other co-travellers. The 'Yatra' starts from Kathmandu, in a large group of 36, and travels through the towns, people and the cultures of Nepal and Tibet. At the roof of the world, the Tibetan highlands open out into vast, empty landscapes that defy imagination. By Mansarovar, 15,000 feet high, two of the four friends find themselves in the scary grip of altitude sickness. One stays out in the freezing night, lost in a trance by the shores of the holy lake. Two go out in search, and have bone-chilling experiences. The altitude wreaks havoc with some of them. The holy lake's benign nature calms them for a while, but by the time they hit the Parikrama trail, the four are gripped in anxious excitement, their companionship, a safety rope through this scary journey. Judgements, reservations, ego, pride, all come crashing down. What follows is momentous. They live through one of the most difficult days of their lives, almost break, but somehow find hidden reserves of strength at their weakest moments. How? What happened?'14 Days To Kailash Mansarovar' features full colour photographs of the journey, along with the history, mythology and facts associated with this 'Yatra' and its significant places. But it is most importantly, a story of friendship, of self-realisation, of the paths we take, and where they lead.

Download or read book The Unfought War of 1962 written by Raghav Sharan Sharma and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-12-06 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China’s territorial disputes with India have been a matter of debate since 1950s. While China has amicably resolved boundary disputes with twelve out of its fourteen neighbouring countries, it is yet to resolve its boundary disputes with India and Bhutan as also its maritime disputes in the South China Sea and East China Sea. This volume looks at the complex dynamics of India–China boundary disputes which remains unresolved. It is still the biggest challenge to the relations between the two countries. From the Indian perspective securing Arunachal and the Indus Watershed is highly important. From the Chinese point of view Karakoram and Xinjiang–Tibet road must be respected. Secondary issues have always occupied a central and pivotal focus in the relations between India and China. This work also shows how British efforts to secure a defined and natural boundary began immediately after the creation of Jammu and Kashmir in 1846 after Amritsar treaty. In the eastern sector such an effort began only in the first decade of twentieth century. Relevant documents have been presented which examines the role of bureaucrats, diplomats, generals and surveyors. It examines the treaties, conventions, correspondence as well as internal debates between changing British officials and their conflicting British policies. Nehru refused Chou En Lai in 1960, which in turn led to the unilateralism in Chinese attitude after 1962. The volume breaks new ground by evaluating the differing policies, and explains how a secured boundary can ultimately be agreed upon.
