Kailash Mansarovar : A Holy PursuitShri Manmohan GuleriaSecond-in-CommandantNature in her wildest and most rugged formsbears witness to the correctness of the belief thathere is the home of the great God. All the aids toworship in the shape of striking scenery, templesand mystic are present, and he must be indeed dull,who return from this pilgrim unsatisfied. I was luckyto perform the duties of Liaison Officer with the fi rstbatch of Kailash Mansarovar Yatra-2009. Kailash-Mansarovar, known as abode of the universe is theultimate destination for Hindus, Buddhists, Jains andBopnas. This pilgrimage is unique in many ways andits criticality can only be realized by those who arefascinated by its charms and peculiar vibrations.Our batch consisted of 47 Yatris, of which 13were females. All Yatris hailed from different socioeconomicbackgrounds, hobbies, likes, dislikes andpursuits. Pilgrimage is an effort to cleanse the souland open the mind. Every year, thousands of peoplemake a pilgrimage to Kailash. Pilgrims of severalreligions believe that circumambulating MountKailash on foot is a holy ritual that will bring goodfortune. Hindus and Buddhists make the peregrinationin a clockwise direction. Followers of Jainism andBönpo religions circumambulate the mountain in acounter clockwise direction. The path around MountKailash is 55 km long. In the succeeding paragraphs,I shall briefly touch upon the religious signifi canceof Kailash, Manas Lake and Gauri kund. Due tospace constraints the nitty-gritty of yatra is not beingcovered.THE ROUTE865 Kms from Delhi, stand Mount Kailash andLake Mansarovar constituting one of the grandestof the Himalayan beauty spots. The route is reallytough and lots of self motivation and inspiration isneeded. The Lipu Lekh pass(16650’) and the Dolmapass(19900’) are the two highest passes enroute.Generally it is believed that with out the will of LordShiva, pilgrims cannot visit Kailash. The journey islong, at times frustrating, very tiring, and unending,but this pilgrim is the litmus test for those who knowthat when going gets tough, the tough get going.The world-famous and holy Mt. Kailash &Manas Lake has been the source of inspiration formany religions and beliefs. Despite many diffi cultiesand long distances, people are keen to go there atleast once in their lives. Continued from centuries,this pilgrimage had been stopped from 1959 to1980, and when it restarted in 1981 it was welcomedeverywhere.THE HOLY MOUNT KAILASHHigh on the remote western Tibetan plateau inthe northern most region of the Himalayas, sits MountKailash, the holy mountain. The Tibetan people havenamed it Kang Rinpoche, or snow jewel, and theITBP Patrika 14 January - 2010

Hindus refer to it as Mount Meru.Buddhist, Hindu and Jain pilgrimsfrom the world over go to this holymountain to circumambulate ratherthan scale the 22,028- foot highpeak.Some pilgrims believe thatthe entire walk around Kailashshould be made in a single day. Thisis not easy. A person in good shapewalking fast would take perhaps15 hours to complete the 55 kmtrek. The mountain is located in aparticularly remote and inhospitablearea of the Tibetan Himalayas.According to all religions that reverethe mountain, setting foot on itsslopes is a dire sin. A legend claims that many peoplewho dared to defy the taboo have died in the process.Can this be another reason why the mountain is not climbed?THE HOLY MT KAILASHHindus who walk around circumference of Mountbelieve that lord Shiva, one of their three main gods,resides atop what they call Mount Meru. Tibetans referto the clockwise circumambulation as a kora. A Singlecircumambulation around Mount Kailash wipes away thesins of a life time. The Jains who refer to the Kailashas Mount Ashtapada believe the founder of their faith,Rishabanatha, resides atop the mountain. The Bons thereligion which predates Buddhism in Tibet believes thatthe entire mystical region and the nine stories SwastikaMountain is the seat of all power. Mount Kailash is also thesource of four major rivers: the Indus, the Brahamputra,the Karnali and the Sutlej.The weather is always uncertain. Mount Kailashis revered in Sanskrit literature as the abode of the allblissfulLord Shiva and his divine spouse Parvati, theall-enchanting Nature (Prakriti). Its circumference is 32KM and is overlooking the Holy Mansarovar and theRakshas Tal, in the south.THE GAURI KUNDWhile proceeding downwards from Dolma - La(Dolma Pass), a steep descent will lead you to GauriKund at 5608 m. Some call it the ‘Lake of compassion’.In the religious book Shiva Purana, this is the setting forYartris on their waythe legend of Hindu goddess Parvati and how Ganesh(Parvati’s son) acquired his elephant head while bathingin the emerald waters of the lake. Parvati fashionedan image of Ganesh from the soap suds on her body,breathed life into it and placed it at the entrance of herhome to prevent anyone entering. Lord Shiva happenedto return at this point of time and was stopped byGanesha. Indignant at this affront, an angry Shiva cutoff the boy's head. Parvati was inconsolable and insistedthat the boy be brought back to life. Helpless, Shiva tookthe head of a wandering elephant and placed it on thebody. Life was restored and Parvati had her son back.THE MANSAROVAR LAKELake Manasarovar is a fresh-water lake in Tibet2,000 km from Lhasa. It is the highest freshwater lakein the world. To the west of Lake Manasarovar is LakeRakshastal and towards the north is Mount Kailash. Thesight of a huge lake with a refl ection of snow-cappedmountains in its lucid waters is jaw dropping. Be preparedfor a feast for the eyes. Manasarovar Lake lies at 4,556 mabove mean sea level. It is relatively round in shape andits circumference is 88 km, depth is 90 m and it occupiesa total area of 320 square kilometres.The lake freezes inwinter and melts only in spring. The Mansarovar Lake isthe holiest, the most fascinating, the most inspiring, themost famous of all the lakes in the world and the mostancient that civilization knows. It is a famous lake in theHindu mythology.Like Mount Kailash, Lake Manasarovar is aplace of pilgrimage, attracting religious people fromIndia and Tibet. Bathing in the lake and drinking its wateris believed to cleanse all sins. Pilgrims come to takeITBP Patrika15 January - 2010

The water of Mansarovar is assweet as that of any river or of any glaciallake. The holy manas provides fi ne caves,camping ground and good sites to pilgrims.The pilgrims spend sleepless nights at thisplace just to witness the arrival of Devatasfor bathing during the Brahm muhurut.My memories of Mansarovar are full ofspectacular events that took place thereduring our stay of three days at a placecalled as Thhugu, situated on the bank ofMansarovar.CONCLUSIONHelping the Yatrisceremonial bathes in the cleansing waters of the lake.According to Hindu legend, the lake was fi rst createdin the mind of the Lord Brahma. Hence, in Sanskritit is called Manasarovar, which is a combination ofthe words Manas (mind) and Sarovar (lake). Thelake, in Hindu mythology, is also supposed to be thesummer abode of swans, which are considered tobe judicious and sacred birds. It is also believed theDevas (Gods) descend to bathe in the lake between3 and 5 am. This time of the day is known as BrahmaMuhurta (moment). I was luckiest among all the yatristo record this phenomenon in my handicam at 0345am on 18th June, 2009 while staying at Thhugu, theshore of Mansarovar.For Hindus, a journey to Kailash isconsidered the ultimate yatra due to boththe diffi culty of reaching it and the levelof sanctity attached to it. The role of ITBP to helpyatris with humane touch has brought laurels to thisForce and we have been recognized as Force parexcellence in discharging professional duties. Itsnot only Kailash and Mansarovar which yatris visit,the glimpse of OM Parbat from Nabhidhang is alsoconsidered very auspicious part of this yatra. Its apilgrimage which has no parallel in Hindu mythology.Lucky are those who get opportunity to visit such aplace during their life time. Thanks to my Force whichmade my dream come true. Given the religiousimportance of this holy place, no one will like to giveaway another opportunity to visit this place. I am alsoeagerly looking to pay another visit to this wonderfulplace as and when opportunity arises.pquko M~;wVhgfj;k.kk esa fo/kkulHkk pquko ds nkSjku M~;wVh djrs 29oha okfguh ds fgeohjITBP Patrika 16 January - 2010

VISIONShri P Vijay Kumar, DIG(Retd.)One of the main sources of learning is “ Ourexperiences “ in relation to the incidents in our dailylife. In our child-hood, many things were taught to usthrough the small stories by our elders. There is somemessage for us in the following story.One young man is passing through a pathway. He found a big stone in the middle of the pathobstructing the way. He could see the stone wellbefore otherwise, he would have hit against the stone.When he reached the spot, he jumped over the stoneand continued his further journey.After some time, a young couple was passingin the same path way. They were walking so closeto each other, that they could not see the stone tillthey came near to it. So they suddenly got apart andcrossed the hurdle safely without hitting against thestone.After some more time, a blind man with a stick inhand was passing through the same path way. Hesensed that there is something in the middle of thepath, with the help of stick. He came near the hurdleand realised that it is a stone and foresaw the likelydanger that it would cause injury to the walkers if itis left in the middle of the path as it is. Hence, hecarefully removed the stone from the middle of thepath and threw it away.Now who is really blind? Whether the fi rst twobatches of people or the last person? Defi nitely, theabove story gives us a message that we should notact like the fi rst two categories of people. Because inthe above story, the fi rst two batches of people, thoughthey have the physical sense of organ “eyes” and sawthe stone, they did not have “ vision “. But in the caseof the blind person, though he is blind and does nothave “eyes” , he had “vision” and that is why he couldforesee the likely danger if the stone is not removedfrom the middle of the path. He is said to be a personhaving “vision”. Every one of us will defi nitely comeacross with a number of such incidents in our day today work where we should have “vision“. This is verymuch essential for the prosperity of our organisation.So let us all remould our attitude and dedicateourselves and work with vision for our organisation.Where the vision is one year, cultivate FlowersWhere the vision is ten years, cultivate TreesWhere the vision is eternity, cultivate people.H.E. Nikhil Kumar, (Governor Nagaland) Visits SHQ (L&C)Shri Nikhil Kumar, Hon'bleGovernor of Nagaland, arrived inOffi ces' Mess, SHQ (L&C) ITB Policeon 13.12.2009 to witness 20-20 CricketMatch which held at Mohali CricketStadium between India and Srilanka.He stayed in the Officers' Mess fora night.

PresidentHimveer Wives' Welfare AssociationIndo-Tibetan Border PoliceSoni SrivastavaDear Colleagues,MESSAGEVery warm new year greetings to all of you.I am confident 2010 will see HWWA taking deeper roots and contribute in a more systematic mannertowards welfare activities. For this to happen, you have to get actively involved and take ownership ofthe Association individually and as a 'force'.HWWA has grown in strength and stature and has come out of the closet. We are now in the publicdomain and our every small activity is being noticed. We are being talked about in the same breath inhigh profile magazines like 'Society' & Femina' and vernacular news papers like 'Hindustan' & 'AmarUjala'. We have to step up the pace further with a sharp focus on our deliverables. Are you ready ?I would like to share here that recently I had written to the widows and families of those ITBP personnelwho had lost their lives while in Service. There is an overflow of replies. The families are sharing theirproblems which I am bringing to the DG's notice for help and rectification. Some of the families arewriting back only to say that they are touched that the Force is concerned about them. Please extend aspecial helping hand to all such families near you. They need our support and hand holding.24th January is the HWWA Raising Day. My compliments to all of you in advance. Please observe theday in a befitting manner, while enjoying yourself keep the HWWA banner flying high.Your feedback, suggestions are always welcome, so keep in touch.Best regards & season's greetings,(Soni Srivastava)January 2010, New DelhiITBP Patrika43 January - 2010
