The 330 km TOR Des Geants is a race in the Italian Alps. The course heads counter-clockwise on the Alta Via 2 along the south side of the Aosta valley for the first half of the race, returning along the Alta Via 1 back to Courmayeur.
The 2018 TOR was my first 200 miler. What follows is just a brief look at my experience at the race, all the ups and the downs on my journey among the giants of the alps.
I’m an ultra-distance trail runner based in Vancouver, BC. From the mountain ranges of Canada and the USA, to the Alps, the Andes, and the Himalayas, I’ve been fortunate to have the opportunity to pursue adventures around the world.
Why the Sound Of Whispers Come From Mount Kailash At Night
In Hinduism Lord Shiva is believed to be seated on Mount Kailash’s house. The mountain is full of supernatural powers. That’s why until now nobody has climbed this mountain. Apart from that, this mountain is synonymous with many other mysteries, to which no one has an answer.
Anyone who tried to climb Mount Kailash had died, and the Chinese government banned mountaineering because of these death-related accidents.
The Russian doctor had planned to scale its peak to reveal the mystery of Mount Kailash. There were also several geologists interested in that. The team spent months near Mount Kailash. He also revealed other things that have been a mystery to date and nobody knew about them. Mount Kailash is, according to that squad, a man-made pyramid. He also said there are a lot of supernatural events too.
In his novel, Dr Muldashif has written that mysterious sounds come from Mount Kailash’s silent manger at night. Some people still seem to live there today.
Besides that, the Tibetan Gurus often think there are many supernatural forces. It’s also said there is a mysterious state around Mount Kailash called Shambala. Where Siddha and ascetic people still live today.
The pyramid-shaped Mount Meru is, contrary to common theories, the product of the possessed technological abilities of some supernatural superhuman beings.
According to the Buddhist and Hindu scriptures, ancient monasteries and caves exist around Mount Meru in which the holy sages live in their material and subtle bodies. Just a few lucky ones will see those caves.
Thousands of pilgrims reach Tibet each year for pilgrimage to the Holy Mount Kailash. Some make it to the region and quite a few manage to finish by circumambulating the healed edge. As for scaling the summit, some adventurous mountaineers have attempted, but with no success, to do so.
Trekking all the way up to the summit of Mount Kailash is considered a prohibited act by Hindus for fear of transgressing the holiness of the mountain and upsetting the spiritual forces that reside there. A monk called Milarepa once traveled far enough to reach the peak of Mount Meru according to a Tibetan legend. When he came back he warned everyone not to bother the God sleeping high up in the top.
There are two magnificent lakes at the foot of Mount Kailash, namely Mansarovar and Rakshas Tal.
Mount Kailash is thought to be the Axis Mundi or celestial pole, earth center, earth pillar, world core, world flower. It is the moment heaven meets earth. Google Maps vouch for the fact’s validity.
Don’t be surprised if, after returning from your Mount Meru tour, you find your nails or hair grown by many millimetres. Tourists and pilgrims have discovered that the air from this ancient peak speeds up the ageing cycle!
Once a party of Siberian climbers arrived ahead of a certain stage and aged by a few decades at once. Shockingly, one year later all of the trespassers died of old age!

Ten days into the auspicious month of Kartika we visited Chandra Sarovar, one of the many lakes surrounding Govardhana Hill. It is situated on the long, outer parikrama-marg of Govardhana Hill that extends for over 40 kilometers. It was the pilgrimage route most often taken by Srila Sanatana Goswami 500 years ago. There are many pastimes that take place at Chandra Sarovar, including Krsna’s springtime Rasa Lila dance with the gopis. It was there that the gopis sang their famous Gopi Gita, expressing their deep feelings of separation from the Lord. At Chandra Sarovar one can also take darsan of the samadhi of the famous Vaisnava saint, Sur das.
For our first parikrama we went to Kamyavan and had darshan of Vrinda-Devi, the beautiful reddish coloured Deity worshipped by Srila Rupa Goswami 500 years ago. In the courtyard of her temple we discussed many of Radha and Krsna’s pastimes, as well as Maharaja Yudhisthira’s answers to Yamaraja’s 10 questions that took place at nearby Dharma-kunda. The kirtans led by Bada Haridas prabhu were especially sweet in that most auspicious atmosphere.

I shot this video in 2004 in Rishikesh. Good quality.
#Aarti is derived from the Sanskrit word ārātrika (आरात्रिक), which means something that removes rātrī, darkness (or light waved in darkness before an icon). Another word from which Aarti is thought to be derived is the Sanskrit word Aaraartikyam A Marathi language reference says it is also known as Mahaneeranjana.
Aarti is said to have descended from the Vedic concept of fire rituals, or homa. In the traditional aarti ceremony, the flower represents the earth (solidity), the water and accompanying handkerchief correspond with the water element (liquidity), the lamp or candle represents the fire component (heat), the peacock fan conveys the precious quality of air (movement), and the yak-tail fan represents the subtle form of ether (space). The incense represents a purified state of mind, and one’s «intelligence» is offered through the adherence to rules of timing and order of offerings. Thus, one’s entire existence and all facets of material creation are symbolically offered to the Lord via the aarti ceremony.The word may also refer to the traditional Hindu devotional song that is sung during the ritual.
