    The history of the creation of the series
    Sai Avatar is a triad of successive manifestations of God in three different human forms. The first appearance was Shirdi Sai Baba. Shirdi Baba was born in the nineteenth century and lived until the 18th year of the twentieth century. Now we are witnessing the second Incarnation of Sai - Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba, whom we call Swami with great affection. In the final incarnation the Lord will come as Prema Sai.
    Until our Swami gave some details, very few people knew about the early life of the Shirdi Avatar. All that was known was what the devotees wrote down, most of whom came to Shirdi Baba relatively late. However, Swami very graciously provided the missing details and now we have a clearer picture of his first incarnation.
    Swami also said that while the Shirdi Avatar was the forerunner, the Sathya Sai Avatar is the apogee as God has now manifested in him as the Purna Avatar - the absolute embodiment of divine power, divine attributes and divine qualities.
    Swami's devotees made several attempts to record his life story. However, no attempt was made to reconcile the stories of Shirdi Baba and Sathya Sai Baba properly.
    The first such attempt was the television series Divine Story of Shirdi Sai and Parthi Sai, created by Anjali Devi, a flamboyant devotee of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba. It presents the story of two Sai avatars in the form of a play.
    For many years, Anjali Devi wanted to make a film about Swami but did not get permission for it. After a long wait, she almost gave up on the idea. But one day unexpectedly Bhagavan gave Anjali Devi permission to make a film. In numerous private conversations, Swami also shared his story and provided the filming facilities at his ashram to Prashanti Nilayam.
    On Gurupurnima Day 1998, He personally inaugurated the film and blessed the efforts. Exactly one year later, He blessed the release of the series and materialized a gold chain for Anjali Devi as a token of His mercy.
    The series was originally released in Telugu. The story presented here is based on an English translation of the script.
    For more details on the last years of Shirdi Sai Avatar's life, see Sai Satcharita's popular book. Similarly, more details about Bhagawan Sathya Sai Baba can be found in His very interesting biography called Sathyam Shivam Sundaram written by N. Kasturi. This book consists of four volumes, and its narrative takes readers up to 1980.

There are many unique places in the world that attract the attention of scientists and travelers. One of these is the most mysterious hill in Tibet - Kailash. In addition, many representatives of the Eastern religion consider this territory a symbol of a higher deity. Read on to learn about interesting facts and mystical stories associated with the mountain range of the People's Republic of China.

Mount Kailash (Kailash) is a legendary mountain range, which is considered the spiritual center of the Earth and an object of cult worship. The mountain is recognized as sacred among four religions: Buddhism, Hinduism, Bon and Jainism. Pilgrims from all over the world come to the mountain to perform a special ritual.

Hindus consider it the mountain of the gods. According to them, this is where the great Shiva spends most of his time. According to the beliefs and beliefs of Buddhists, the mountain is the home of the Buddha. He descended to Earth in the form of Samvara. Supporters of Jainism claim that on this mountain the first saint was freed from earthly bonds and everything worldly. Representatives of the Bon religion are convinced that the life force of the planet is concentrated in the sacred mountain.

What does Kailash look like?

Kailash has a tetrahedral shape, which outwardly resembles an ancient Greek pyramid, the edges of which are directed to the cardinal points. Kailash and the mountains that are located in the neighborhood form a system of natural pyramids. They are much larger than the ancient pyramids of Egypt, China, as well as the underwater pyramids of Yonaguni.

The top of the hill is covered with a thick layer of snow. It doesn't melt even in summer. The cracks formed on the southern side of the mountain range are a mystery in themselves. Perhaps they were formed during earthquakes, but it looks as if someone artificially created them according to their own imagination.

Holy Kailash: mysticism and reality

Tibet is a place where incredible miracles happen. Many scientists suggest that there are several mysterious rooms in the middle of Mount Kailash. One of them contains the legendary black stone, which is able to turn dreams into reality. The crystal sends the vibrations of the Cosmos, which make people noble, contribute to their spiritual development. Mystics say that the ancestors live inside the mountain pyramid. They are in a state of samadhi. It is also believed that the gene pool of the times of Atlantis is preserved here. Another version is that Christ, Buddha and Krishna live in the tomb connected with the Kailash tunnel. The gods will come to their senses in difficult times for the Earth.

Phenomena of Mount Kailash

Kailash is considered the largest point where the energy of the entire planet is concentrated. The uniqueness of the mountain range lies in the fact that structures of an unusual shape are located close to it. In Soviet times, the development of a "time machine" was carried out. Various mechanisms have been devised by which people supposedly can move at different intervals of time. The Russian genius Nikolai Kozarev invented the "system of mirrors".

Its essence lies in the fact that a bent mirror spiral, inside which a person sits, displays physical time. At the same time, it is able to focus various types of radiation. As it turned out, time passed much faster inside the device than outside it. After the research, it was decided to close the development. Experimented people began to see the past, UFOs, and more.

The mountain range resembles the same "time machine", only in large sizes. Many representatives of the clergy confirm that there is such a phenomenon as “time warp” here. Once a group of researchers went to Kailash to conduct a sacred detour around the mountain. It was surprising that after a 12-hour journey, they had aged by two whole years. This suggests that human life in this area proceeds much faster. Even yoga meditations take several days.

Mount Kailash: the mystery of the number 6666

Due to different methods of measuring height, the exact height of Kailash is not known. Many researchers claim that the height of the mountain is 6666 meters. The same distance from the mountain to the North Pole and to the Sutlej monument. To the South 13332 meters (6 666 * 2). Other scientists refute this fact, since the Himalayas are relatively young mountains, and cannot grow more than half a centimeter per year.

10 mysterious facts and discoveries about Mount Kailash

  1. Kailash is one of the mysterious places on Earth, the height of which is considered a mystery - 6666 m.
  2. Kailash, Easter Island, the pyramids of the Incas and Egypt are located on the same line.
  3. In this area, the human body is rapidly aging. Nails, beard and hair grow rapidly.
  4. The mountain is shaped like a pyramid.
  5. Outwardly, the mountain is covered with two ridges, which at night form the image of a swastika, an ancient Buddhist symbol, as shadows from the ledges of the rock.
  6. Until now, no one has been able to conquer the top of the mountain.
  7. Near Kailash there are two lakes: Manasarovar - "living lake" and Rakshas - "dead lake", which is considered cursed. They are separated from each other by a thin isthmus.
  8. Many believe that the mountain was built in ancient times in an artificial way, to achieve certain goals. There are voids inside and at the foot of the hill.
  9. On the territory of Kailash is the Sarcophagus of Nandu. According to ancient Chinese legends, Jesus, Confucius and other wise men live here. In the event of the death of civilization, they will continue the gene pool of mankind.

Ritual detours around Mount Kailash

Walking around the mountain is a sacred ritual. It is called kora or parikrama. After this ritual, a person acquires a special divine power. A small number of Buddhists, Jains and representatives of the Bon religion come here on the full moon of the fourth Tibetan month. It is believed that the one who performs this rite 13 times will forever get rid of earthly suffering. Whoever manages to circumnavigate Kailash 108 times will be able to get closer to the state of mind of the Buddha. Many pilgrims take a bath in the "Lake of Consciousness and Enlightenment", located near Lake Manasarovar.

The bypass process itself takes an average of three days. The length of the route is 52 km. The road is strewn with stones, each of which has a special energy. Pilgrims believe that the souls of the gods live in them. On the first day, a person feels lightness and spiritual uplift. The next day of detour begins a difficult period. They say you can feel the presence of death. Many fall into a trance and feel their body on top of Kailash.

As a rule, Buddhists and Jains circumambulate in the direction of the sun, while the followers of the Bon religion always go in the opposite direction. There are legends among climbers that their colleagues, who pretended to be pilgrims, lost their minds after a while, and then died in a psychiatric hospital. In the process of making a ritual detour around the peak, they secretly turned the other way to climb Kailash.

Mount Kailash on the map

Kailash is located in the south of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, which belongs to the territory of China and is part of the Himalayan mountains. It is located among six majestic ridges, which symbolize the sacred lotus flower. Supporters of Hinduism believe that four large rivers begin from its slopes: Brahmaputra, Ghaghara, Indus and Sutlej. They divide the world into four parts. Scientists say that this opinion is erroneous. They substantiate their conclusions with images taken from satellites.

They clearly show that the glacial waters of Kailash flow into one lake from which only the Sutlej flows. This area is inaccessible even for professional climbers.

According to official data of geologists, 20 thousand years ago, the mountain rose from the ocean as a result of movement and collision of earth plates. Kailash is over five million years old.

How to get to Mount Kailash

There are two ways to get to the sacred mountain - by plane from Kathmandu or Lhasa. Then get to the foot of Kailash by bus. Many people prefer to go from Lhasa, because it is this route that allows you to gradually get used to the mountain conditions.

Who conquered Mount Kailash

Kailash does not let anyone on its peak. There were many attempts to conquer the mountain, but none were successful. Most expeditions ended in the death of daring brave men. They say that in front of climbers who dare to climb the peak, it is as if a mighty wall of air rises. After all, ancient legends say that everyone who dares to conquer the sacred mountain will die. There is no place for mortals on the mountain.

Failed ascents

In 1985, a climber from Germany, Reinhold Messner, expressed a desire to conquer Kailash. He received permission from the authorities to climb, but at the last moment he refused to climb. It is said that the climber had a dream. In 2000, Spanish climbers received permission to climb, but a huge crowd of pilgrims blocked the path for climbers.

In 2004, a climber from Russia and his son tried to get to the top. During the ascent, the weather conditions of the area gradually worsened. There was a strong wind that prevented the conquest of the mountain.

Those who managed to conquer Kailash include only mythical personalities: Mivoche, the creator of the Bon tradition and Milarepa, a teacher who touched the sun.

After half a minute, breathing returns to normal, but still - there is not enough air.

Monks turn into frogs in the cold

Perhaps that is why the lifestyle in Tibet is viscous and unhurried, like a drop of honey sliding down the glass: rushing here is physically impossible and even harmful to health. The country is an alpine plateau at an altitude of almost four thousand meters above sea level: there is little oxygen, already at the capital's airport it happens that European visitors, leaving the plane into the hall, faint after about ten minutes. They say that supposedly the local residents have a peculiarity - they have an unusually expanded chest, which allows them to breathe normally with rarefied air. Like it or not - I did not check.

Tibet has always tried to stay on the edge of the world. Until the sixties of the XX century, only two roads led to the mountainous state - one from China, the other from India. The remote country was in no hurry to open itself to the world - its inhabitants were satisfied with living in complete self-isolation, devoting themselves to spiritual quests and endless prayers. Because of this, the birth rate here has always been very low - up to half (!) Of all men became Buddhist monks in childhood: and, as is well known, they are forbidden to marry.

To say that Tibet is completely immersed in mysticism is to say nothing, says University of Chicago professor Donald Rehew. - For example, for five years I have not been able to get an appointment with the lama of a remote monastery near the Nepalese border, I always get the standard explanation: “The lama is meditating.” When I ask when he will deign to come out of meditation, they never answer me, because no one knows. Traditions here have not changed for thousands of years. Even now, government officials in small towns will stick their tongue out when they greet you and expect the same from you. This is proof that your interlocutor is not a devil who has taken on human form - the hellish creatures have a green tongue. The local clerks, going to work, spin small “prayer drums” with sacred texts in their hands along the way. One turn replaces a prayer - other specialists manage to “wind up” 10,000 prayers a day.

Meditating for five years is child's play by Tibetan standards. There are such fantastic legends about meditation here that it is better for a person with a fragile psyche not to listen to them at all. The Tibetans believe that it is the journey in the astral plane, when “the soul and body are connected by a thin thread”, that helps a person to feel the unique abilities of the body, “disabled” when he is conscious. Back in 1995, Swiss scientists conducted a medical study of an unusual fact: the monks in the Gyangtse monasteries were able, wrapped only in a sheet, to sit for hours in the snow, in the most severe frost, without any damage to health - it turned out that during meditation they fall into ... hibernation in the manner of snakes or frogs. Moreover, some monks are able to almost completely stop breathing during meditation, while their pulse is practically not felt. In the remote regions of Tibet, I was shown ice caves located high in the mountains: according to local beliefs, hermits have been meditating there for twenty to thirty years (!) Without food and water. When I said with a grin that these elders were probably already dead, the Tibetans were offended. Like, nothing like that: their nails and hair still grow - every six months special people are sent to the caves in order to cut meditators' hair. In one of the small monasteries of another city - Shigatse - they showed me strands of long hair on a bed with a characteristically crumpled pillow and sheet - as if the outlines of a body. It is believed that the owner of this hairstyle meditated so cool that he became invisible. However, touching the bed and checking it is not allowed.

The gophers - do not want

This will surprise you greatly, but we believe that when a certain level of meditation is reached, people even gain the ability to fly, says Lama Tashi Ngawang from a monastery near the sacred Mount Kailash. - Although I personally have not seen a single such person, but the books in my monastery contain information about five monks who in the 12th century amazed the ruler of Tibet with the ability to rise above the mountains and walk on water. You Europeans are very cynical - you will say that they had inflatable galoshes. During meditation, I can move objects with my eyes, but this will not impress you either - they say, they saw numbers in the circus and more interesting. Is not it?

Mount Kailash is the most important sacred place in Tibet, its territory is considered the abode of the gods and the center of the whole world - no more, no less. On one of the slopes of Kailash there is a giant swastika of natural origin, because of which Adolf Hitler twice (in 1938 and 1943) sent expeditions of SS climbers to Tibet, believing that "here lies the mystery of the appearance of the Aryan nation." There are more than enough mysteries around, and it’s true, more than enough - old books in the libraries of monasteries tell in detail about mysterious races, mysterious kings and mystical states that were not mentioned in any other source and disappeared long before Alexander the Great.

Around the huge snow-covered mountain, endless strings of frozen people wander: if you go around Kailash on foot (only 53 kilometers), then this automatically destroys all lifetime sins, and 108 such circles mean reaching nirvana (practically falling into paradise). Particularly diligent pilgrims pass all these kilometers like this - they fall on their faces, folding their hands in front of them, get up, take two steps and again rush to the ground. The lazy can wait for the year of the Horse (it will be in 2014) - at this time, one circle around Kailash counts as nine. In addition, the mountain guarantees that in your next life you will be born as a human, and not as a gopher.

… Few people want to be a gopher, because Tibetans devoutly believe in the transmigration of souls. To such an extent that for many of them it significantly complicates life. Imagine - you can’t poison cockroaches, you won’t kill a mosquito, you won’t catch a fly on duct tape - what if not so long ago it was your friend or neighbor? It got to the point that when Chinese agricultural workers burned withered grass in autumn, villagers wrote a petition to Beijing not to do this - many insects that "could once be people" die. In Beijing, they got scared of this situation and stopped burning grass just in case.

And the Dalai Lama himself, the former ruler of Tibet (living in exile due to political problems with China), during the first interview told me that he has a lame-footed cat that lives at home, which has already been “reborn” three times - each time with a damaged paw .

... Even in winter, with a frost of thirty degrees, in Tibet the face burns - this country is so close to the sun. People in mountain villages boil water in the following way - two liters of water are poured into a deep metal plate in the form of a boat, covered with the thinnest mirrors on top - everything boils in half an hour. In the same way, people manage to warm whole barrels of water - they don’t even need any firewood for this.

The world is frantically looking for something to replace oil and gas, laughs Norbu Tsetsen, headman of Poche village. - And we invented it three thousand years ago. And most importantly - no pollution, a very environmentally friendly system.

Lama Tashi Ngawang was right. When I watched the cup slide across the surface of the table under his gaze, I was not at all impressed. The reason is simple: being in Tibet, you simply get used to miracles.

Over time, many of us begin to think about what the mysterious and mysterious places of our planet really represent, and why this or that city with certain traditions and beliefs is located in this part of the world. One of the places that constantly attracts the increased attention of tourists of various nations and religions remains Tibet.

Tibet is one of the most unknown and mysterious countries in the world. There are legends about Tibetan Buddhist monasteries and the secrets of monks. Someone claims to have met a monk who lives five thousand years. Another European traveler describes how in one monastery the monks fly while meditating. It is difficult to check all these messages. To this day, Tibet remains an inaccessible place. Minds of mankind excite all mysterious places. Therefore, the mysticism of Tibet has such an attractive force, remaining a popular phenomenon in our days of scientific and technological progress. Tibet is not a resort area for all kinds of entertainment events, but, above all, a place with amazing unique energy that nourishes suffering souls. The magicians and mystics of Tibet keep and honor their ancient customs, which are of interest to people of different philosophical and religious views.

One of the most revered places in Tibet is the sacred mountain Kailash. According to eyewitnesses, there is a mountain path on Kailash that you cannot turn off. There are many legends about the fact that in these mountains there is a connection with parallel worlds. Be that as it may, Kailash still remains unconquered by man.

Modern research using satellite technology has also yielded nothing. The main dispute concerning the history of the emergence of Kailash. Maybe the real mystics of Tibet know the true reasons for the unique energy characteristics of the amazing mountains.

When some information about incredible phenomena or abilities of the Tibetans appears somewhere in Europe or America, it remains to believe or not to believe, since it is not possible to verify this information. The Englishwoman Rose came to Tibet illegally. Since childhood, she was fond of Buddhism and dreamed of visiting the sacred places of this religion. While traveling in India, she met political emigrants from Tibet. They invited her to join a group of Buddhist pilgrims who were going to the sacred lake Namtso. During the journey, the group, overcoming the high Himalayan passes and illegally crossing the Chinese border, lost their way and was forced to spend several days in a mountain monastery. There, Alina Rose met a monk who spoke good English. The monk spoke about a mysterious set of teachings and warnings for those who want his thoughts to become reality. This code was known from pre-Buddhist times and was passed down orally from generation to generation. And only fifty years ago it was written down on paper by the monks of this monastery. Alina suggested that the monks themselves could materialize their thoughts, but she could not find out anything about this in the short time that the group of pilgrims remained in the monastery. Then, under the pretext of illness, she refused to continue the journey with the group. The monks, contrary to their usual rules, allowed her to stay in the monastery for the winter. Tibetan monks could not endanger the life of a foreign woman who had the recommendation of expatriate Tibetans. Alina spent three long months in the monastery, but learned nothing beyond what the English-speaking monk had told her on the first day. All this time, the monk, like all other monks, was polite, even talkative, but avoided talking about the secrets of the monastery. It seemed that he already regretted that he had told too much to the obsessive foreigner. Spring has come. Alina had to leave the monastery with the first group returning to India via the Himalayas. Perhaps she would not have learned anything if one day the Chinese army had not attacked the monastery. The monks preferred to avoid meeting with the Chinese authorities, who would have enough reason to arrest any of the Tibetans, if only because most of them refuse to receive Chinese passports. Having learned about the approach of the detachment, three monks went out to meet him. They knelt on the top of one of the mountains and began to pray. Even from a distance it was clear how their bodies shuddered in convulsions. Soon all the monks leaned forward at once and fell to the ground in exhaustion. And then a small red ball appeared in the sky. He flew smoothly and silently in the direction of the approaching soldiers and, not reaching a few meters, fell to the ground. There was a terrible explosion. As Rose writes, she was speechless with fear, horror and surprise. But the monks did not deviate from their principles of non-violence - none of the soldiers were killed: they simply decided to retreat and wait for a larger force. And during this time, the monks, who know the surroundings perfectly, were able to go to a safe place. So Alina Rose learned the main postulates of the Tibetan theory of the embodiment of thoughts: "Nothing is impossible. If you have faith and say grief:" Move there, "it will move."

Asian researcher Strelkov first visited Tibet in 1997. During the pilgrimage, bypassing one of the local monasteries, whose name is translated from Tibetan as "mountain of happiness", he was very surprised by an unusual phenomenon: inside and outside this monastery there were an unprecedented number of dogs - literally thousands. They lay quietly, and it was clear that they had been there for a long time - along the entire perimeter of the path for them there were troughs for food. The stalls into which pilgrims brought porridge for dogs looked to be over a hundred years old.

The researcher was surprised not so much by the number of dogs as by their behavior: 4-5 thousand dogs were in absolute silence, neither newborn puppies nor old people who did not get up did not bark. And on their faces, according to Andrey, there was a completely human expression. And when the pilgrims came and poured porridge into the troughs, something completely unimaginable happened: the dogs lined up at the troughs, each with 15-20 dogs. First, the oldest dogs ate in complete silence, then the turn of the young ones approached - and each slurped enough to last just for the entire lined up line.

"When I, shocked, told about what I saw to my friends in northeastern Tibet, they told me, laughing, that this is an old legend - hundreds of years ago one of the Panchens prayed for dogs. And since then, those dogs that came directly to that in order to rise to the highest level in the next birth and become a man - they were all born at his monastery under his protection.

In Tibet, the rational researcher often had to deal with phenomena that he could not explain from a scientific point of view. So, according to the scientist, all Tibetan saints (now there are more than 3 thousand of them in Tibet; when such a saint dies, the Tibetans believe that he is reborn in another person - this is called “one chain of bodies” or “one line of rebirths”) have the ability to foresee future.

Mystics and magicians of Tibet

Foreword

For many people in the Western Hemisphere, Tibet is shrouded in an air of mystery. The country of snows is considered to be the birthplace of the unknown, fantastic, incredible.

What superhuman abilities are not attributed to lamas, magicians, sorcerers, necromancers and occultists of all stripes, inhabiting high plateaus, so beautifully isolated from the rest of the world by nature and their inhabitants' own will! The strangest legends about Tibet are accepted as indisputable truths. It seems that in this country, plants, animals and people can arbitrarily disobey the laws of physics, chemistry, physiology, and even simple common sense.

It is only natural, therefore, that scientists, accustomed to the harsh precision of the experimental method, attach no more importance to such information than to the amusing miracles of fairy tales. My attitude towards them was the same, until, by a lucky chance, I met Mrs. David-Niel.

The famous courageous traveler in Tibet has a successful combination of all the physical, moral and mental qualities that a prospector can wish for when conducting a certain kind of research. I consider it my duty to point this out, although at the risk of offending Madame David-Niel's modesty.

Mrs. David-Niel writes and reads, speaks fluently in all Tibetan dialects. She has lived in Tibet and adjacent countries for fourteen years in a row and is a Buddhist, which helped her win the trust of the most prominent lamaists.

The adopted son of Mrs. David-Niel is a real Tibetan lama. She herself underwent spiritual training and underwent all the trials described in her book.

In a word, Mrs. David-Niel, by her own admission, has turned into a real Asian. She was mistaken for a Tibetan by all the natives. The latter circumstance turned out to be especially important for work in a field that had hitherto been inaccessible to European scientists.

This Asiatic, this perfect Tibetan, nevertheless remained a European woman, a student of Descartes and Claude Bernard. She shared the philosophical skepticism of the first, skepticism, which, according to the second - her teacher Claude Bernard - is the basis of any scientific research.

At one of the conferences she held at my request at my department (the former department of my and her teacher Claude Bernard), Mrs. David-Niel said: study in the same way as any other scientific discipline. There are no miracles here, nothing supernatural that could breed and nourish superstition. Observations confirm: a systematic, scientifically posed training of the psyche usually leads to certain results, planned in advance. That is why all the information collected during such training is valuable materials worthy of attention, even when the exercises are conducted empirically and are based on theories with which we cannot always agree.

These words express true scientific determinism, equally far from sweeping denial and blind gullibility.

David-Niel's observations are of equal interest to orientalists, psychologists and physiologists.
