Mount Kailash – The Abode of Shiva
Sadhguru: My experience and understanding of Kailash is something that I can never articulate. For me it’s so big that I am willing to die for it. That’s all I can say. When the first Jain Thirthankar came here to Mount Kailash, his name was Rishabdev, he came here with a mission. He had heard much about it.

Mount Kailash – The Greatest Mystical Library
When the perception of great beings opened up and they came to know of life in a far deeper way than people normally know it, there was no way for them to share it with anyone because it was not in people's perception. They always sought out a few people who could be used to download this knowledge into, but they were not always successful. It is very, very rare for any Master to find people he can transmit all of himself to. Most of the Masters go without ever being able to transmit what they really want to transmit. I would say even in my life, what I can do in terms of imparting and what I am doing is just 2% of what I am. If I can increase it by one percentage point before I fall dead that is a great achievement. So where do you leave all this? You do not want this to go lost.

Ganesh is not elephant headed. He is Ganapati. Gana means – Shiva’s companions
So, she lives here, largely. So, more time was spent here than there. So, many things happened. One of the things that happened was, Ganapati was born here. So, he is not elephant headed. He is Ganapati. Gana means – the Ganas, who were Shiva’s companions. Generally they are described as distorted, and demented human beings, or beings, not human beings. They did not have human form. They had strange forms. And, they had limbs, which did not have bones. A boneless limbs they had. And, they spoke in a language which nobody could decipher. They spoke like cacophony. And, they seemed to be always inebriated, or at least they behaved like that. So, they were called Ganas. And, they
