Here are a few interesting facts about the revered mountain.
Mystery 1: Mansarovar Lake
On the southeast of Mount Kailash is a beautiful, circular lake called Mansarovar the holy lake. According to Hindu Mythology, Mansarovar Lake is an abode of purity. The word “Mansarovar” originates from Sanskrit, and is a combination of two words – manas (mind) and sarovar (lake). This lake has the legend that the lake’s image was first incepted in the mind of Brahma before creating it on earth.
Mansarovar Lake is popular for its exceptional beauty; the color of this fresh water lake changes from clear blue around the shores to emerald green at the centre. And, the lake looks magical under the moonlit sky. The devotees who are on a sojourn to Kailash Mansarovar make sure to take a holy dip and drink the holy water to attain spiritual peace.
Mystery 2: Four Faces
The four faces of Mount Kailash are created from lapis lazuli, ruby, crystal, and gold.
Mystery 3: Geographical Location  
Mount Kailash is the axis of the Earth and maintains the atmosphere to keep all living beings alive. What more, its location is in synchronization with all other ancient monuments in the world and the Earth’s poles. It is located at an exact distance of 6666 kilometers from the monument of Stonehenge.
Mystery 4: Time Travels Fast   
Around the holy Mount Kailash time travels quickly, which is not witnessed anywhere in the world. Pilgrims have reported quick hair and nails growth within 12 hours, which equals to two weeks under normal conditions.
Mystery 5: Twin Lakes
This pious mountain has two lakes, namely Mansarovar or the God Lake and Rakshas Tal or the Devil Lake. These lie next to each other, only divided by a thin isthmus of the mountains, as if indicating the difference between Good and Bad.
Mystery 6: Swastika
It seems the Sun God wishes to pay his homage to Lord Shiva every day. As the sun sets, the shadow falling on the rocks draws a huge swastika.
Mystery 7: Changes Position
Although people have so far not been successful in climbing the revered Mount Kailash, yet the mountain strangely changes the target location to those who want to climb it. Subsequently, numerous expeditions have failed to climb its summit, as Mount Kailash changes the tracks position in the opposite direction.
Come; visit the abode of the Gods and receive his blessings!

Srinivasa Ramanujan

Srinivasa Ramanujan It is one of the most romantic stories in the history of mathematics: in 1913, the English mathematician G. H. Hardy received a strange letter from an unknown clerk in Madras, India. The ten-page letter contained about 120 statements of theorems on infinite series, improper integrals, continued fractions, and number theory (Here is a .dvi file with a sample of these results). Every prominent mathematician gets letters from cranks, and at first glance Hardy no doubt put this letter in that class. But something about the formulas made him take a second look, and show it to his collaborator J. E. Littlewood. After a few hours, they concluded that the results "must be true because, if they were not true, no one would have had the imagination to invent them". Thus was Srinivasa Ramanujan (1887-1920) introduced to the mathematical world. Born in South India, Ramanujan was a promising student, winning academic prizes in high school. But ...

Ahoka ,  also spelled  Aśoka  (died  238?  bce , India) last major emperor in the  Mauryan  dynasty of  India . His vigorous patronage of  Buddhism  during his reign ( c.  265–238  bce ; also given as  c.  273–232 bce ) furthered the expansion of that  religion  throughout India.

In order to gain wide publicity for his teachings and his work, Ashoka made them known by means of oral announcements and by engravings on rocks and pillars at suitable sites. These inscriptions—the  rock edicts  and pillar edicts (e.g., the  lion  capital of the pillar found at  Sarnath , which has become India’s national emblem), mostly dated in various years of his reign—...

The existance of big bang theory in Rigveda HOW MANY INDIANS ARE KNOW ABOUT THIS GREAT KNOWLEDGE OF ANCIENT INDIA The Big Bang theory is a scientific effort to explain what happened at the very beginning of our universe. According to the standard theory, our universe is thought to have begun as an infinitely small, hot, dense, something - a singularity. Where did it come from? Why did it appear? Scientists have no answers. Prior to the singularity, nothing existed, neither space, nor time or matter. After its initial appearance, based on scientific theories, our universe expanded and cooled, going from very small and hot, to the size and temperature of our current universe. It continues to expand and cool to this day and we are inside of it. This is the Big Bang theory. There are many misconceptions surrounding the Big Bang theory. For example, we tend to imagine a giant explosion. Scientists however say that there was no explosion, but that there was, and continues t...
