 That's outside of Baku. These fires who've been burning for thousands of years, 4,200 years ago, certain yogis from India went to Greece. This is a Manipura Kachakra. Is an extraordinary presence of Vishuddhi. Just hits you in the throat. Life from somewhere has chosen this almost like an airport. They're trying to build a future human being. Azerbaijan means land of fire. So there are places where naturally natural gas is coming out, sipping out of the land on its own fire. So for thousands of years these fires have been burning and this Hindu temple which was built around this burning fire of natural gas is estimated to be over 8,500 years old. It's been many times rebuilt but the original one is supposed to be about 8,500 years old. Here we are at the fire temple in Azerbaijan, just outside of Baku. These fires who've been burning for thousands of years is in sacred space and for the ancient Hindus of this land and also from Hindus, from Afghanistan, Pakistan and the present day India which was all generally known as Hindustan at one time. All of them came here, this is like another Kashi in Central Asia where people came here. One reason is to live, another reason is to die because this is a culture which identified that living well is very important but dying well is equally important. So for that reason they always came to a sacred place to die as still millions of people go to Kashi to die. This was one of the places that culture has diminished but still a lot of thousands of pilgrims come here visiting this fire temple. Little over 4,200 years ago certain yogis from India went to Greece and established certain lingas, consecrated certain lingas which are known as the navel of the earth. I saw this picture almost like fifteen years ago somewhere and immediately I recognized this as Manipura Kachakra and who created this, where is it? Then they said this is in Delphi, I've been wanting to go there and took fifteen years to get there because we went to these few places where the lingas were and it's more than 4,200, 4,300 still alive. They replaced them, they took them from the original sites and kept it in the museums but still they're alive. You can't kill that, that's the beauty of it. The Mili Parva was had here long long time ago, it's a little worth is to live with that. They're pre-chakras, so one is a navel, the other two are the supporting chakras of Munadhara and Swadhisthana. This is a fantastic way of doing it, that's how we have done the Bhairavi but in a single form. Here they built like a temple, there are places like this in South India, not this grand but similar system of temples where you build chakras. If you have to do a composite form of all three or all seven, it will, it's a much bigger challenge. What it will establish separately like this is so much easier. Here we are, the Grand Canyon, swam the four millions of years exposing geological history of this place which goes back to 1.8 billion years as they estimate. It's essentially Colorado River cutting down nearly a mile into the earth but here is the living proof of what kind of earth moving happens over a million years or so. It's absolutely incredible, unimaginable, Grand Canyon as grand as it can be. Initially I thought it's the rocks but it's the very space and it's so sensitive to human presence and able to recognize that it thinks about what we're doing, it's quite incredible. Just natural forces. I'm sure those natives who are sensitive to this dimension would definitely say that the spirits working upon them, which they're not very wrong in a way, it's the spirit of the earth. They're not very wrong but not in the sense of some ghost functioning but there's a phenomenal amount of energy flow and well there are many places, natural features which have a certain amount of energy but the important thing is the way it's responding to human presence and to develop. As we range through the plains of Wyoming, one thing that stood out in my experience is Matotipila, Matotipila is an extraordinary presence of Vishuddhi. Not just unusual, it's just incredible that such a thing has manifested. I don't know how but it is a powerful sense of Vishuddhi. I've never seen anything like that except Gailash. Dhyanalinga is there but that's of a different nature, it's too subtle. I've never seen a natural formation which exudes that kind of Vishuddhi. Matotipila just hits you in the throat, it's one-dimensional. So because this is Vishuddhi, it is incredible that the rocks have taken on six-faced form largely, most of them and there it stands magnificently today almost like Shiva's throat. It's a headless Shiva, that's what it's looking like. So this dimension of life is very, very rare. There are various centers in the world which activates different dimensions but the throat center being this powerful is hardly two-three places in the entire globe, I'm telling you. I was just amazed the way it is reverberating with this dimension of life is just absolutely amazing. I do not know how it has happened, nature has done it. In India we create our own structures, you know, we create consecrated structures to reverberate this kind of energy. But what we make is of small proportions but here it is standing in such a magnificent form one need not necessarily be in its physical presence, one can connect with such a powerful dimension anywhere. There's a tremendous amount of activity in the lake and this activity is the nature of the activity is such that it has nothing to do with anything that we know as life on this planet. It's something totally different. It's life but not the way we know it. I wouldn't call Manasarover a spiritual place because spirituality is out of human being. These beings if you can call them that, I don't know what we can call them whether we can call them beings or things or creatures or what. We have no words for things or happenings which don't belong to our realm of experience. They don't belong to anything that we know as life. So this is not really a spiritual place but somehow life from somewhere has chosen this almost like an airport. They're just landing, taking off, landing, taking off at a tremendous pace. This is just crazy. This doesn't stand to any reason. Why for millions of years one particular spot on the planet has been used by life which doesn't belong here? Why? And why the same place? And why for so long? Seeing what's been happening in Manasarover, one conjecture could be that these forces or these beings could be responsible for the making of the human beings. That's one theory. Another is probably they're trying to build a future human being. Or this is their workshop where they're trying to build themselves a human body to participate in life that is happening here on this planet. Why Kailash has always been considered as the abode of many great beings is because many great beings chose to deposit their work, preserve their work in Kailash starting from Shiva himself and the first of the dead thinkers and two greatest Buddhist teachers. All these people chose Kailash Parvath as a place to preserve their work. When I say preserving work, the most mystics on this planet till now in all these thousands of years, if they get to share one or two percent of their work with people around them they're very fortunate. Most of them don't even get to do that. So they always chose to deposit in some space which is not too frequented by human beings. At the same time it's accessible for those who wish to go. For Kailash is such a place. It is not totally inaccessible but it's hard enough to discourage a lot of people in many many places like that. But in terms of the volume and the variety that's been deposited in Kailash it is their place.
