 A subterranean space is a diameter of two to three kilometers. Life from somewhere has chosen this almost like an airport. From feet up to navel, it's a fully developed male form, but on top of it, it's all translucent. His problem was he could enter this solar system only at certain times. They want me minus my body. It would be nice one day to step in and see what the hell. From here on, whatever I speak is just conjecture and legend. We're not hundred percent sure of anything that I say from now on. We're just looking at it. One thing is clear. Here, this we are hundred percent sure is 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 Manasarovar 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 for now, due to lack of words, we'll call them beings. Their nature is nothing to do with who we are and what we are on this level at least. 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? 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 Tethankars And to a greatest Buddhist teachers, all these people chose Kailash as a place to preserve their work. When I say preserving work, from 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. So this is why it is known as the abode of Shiva, not because if you dig in the rock somewhere you will find him. Because everything that he knew has been deposited there in a certain energy form. So all that is valuable for us in his life, from his life, is here. So in that sense he's alive here. He's still living here because in an energy form he's alive. Many beings are alive there. But you should not go about imagining because the first thing that happens to people who go to Kailash, and Manasarovar and Kami is they looked up in the sky. You see there? Shiva and Parvati. Don't miss the bull. So Manasarovar is significant because it is culturally significant because whenever Shiva is a bit of a wagon-born householder, he goes away. So his wife Parvati, instead of staying in Kailash, she comes on here because that's all iced up. She comes down here at least there's cold water. So she lives here largely. I want you to imagine you're the just only woman sitting on the banks of Manasarovar Lake, nothing here. She wants to have a baby. She's unable to have a baby because Shiva's seed is not human. So it's clear that she cannot have a baby with him. But when she's alone, when she's with him, she's fine. When he's gone for long periods, her maternal instincts took over. She wants to have a baby. So one day she smeared herself with sandal paste head to toe, waited for a period of time, then slowly peeled off all the sandal paste. When you do this, a certain amount of your skin or your cells will come away. Making use of this, using her tantric power, she made the shape of a baby and breathed life into it. A nice little boy came and she was very happy in the company of this boy and he grew up, grew up just the two of them, nobody. And Parvati wants to have bath. So she set up a small barrier and asked the boy to watch out that nobody comes this way. So the boy took this duty as a very… he's very proud to God, his mother. He's in that state and Shiva and his friends landed up. So he wants to see his wife, he's coming that way and the boy stopped him and questioned him, who are you? Shiva asked, you're asking me who are you? With a flick of his sword, he took off the boy's head and went to see Parvati. Very happy to see his wife up to twelve years, but the wife saw blood on his sword and she screamed and he got the works. Then he doesn't know what to do, he thought up to twelve years he'll get a great welcome. Here she is freaking on him. She said, you have to bring him back to life. So he looked around and the leader of the Ghana, he asked him what? He said, okay. So he lopped off his head and put it on the boy's head, first head transplant. So now the boy had human body and a Ghana's head, the two chief of the Ghana's head and he had a limb which was boneless, boneless limb. So he become a Ghana pati, the chief of the Ghana's. Somewhere down the line, artists from Shivakasi in Tamil Nadu, because they had never seen a Ghana but the place was full of elephants. A boneless limb means they could not imagine beyond an elephant. So they slowly made that into an elephant. Whatever they do even today, everybody calls it only Ghana pati. Nobody calls him Gajapati, okay? He's Ghana pati. He is the king or the leader or the chief of Ghana's.
