Many eastern
classics and books of wisdom have referred to the Himalayas as
the abode of the gods and home to the immortals. These
descriptions did not stem merely from the majesty and grandeur
of the natural surroundings but perhaps alluded to a special
environment where communion with the divine was possible through
contemplation and meditation. And so since time immemorial,
ascetics, scholars, philosophers and pilgrim have been drawn
irresistibly to these remote and rugged mountains in their
personal search for wisdom, inspiration, solitude and happiness. |
