The journey to Kailash and back, over lifetimes
and over centuries, has resonated within
countless souls. Over a fifth of the worlds
population finds the echo of Kailash in its
deepest aspirations and purest goals. Among the
thousands of the devout who ever tread this
ground, this year only a small group will have
an opportunity to experience something truly
special and life-transforming. This August, a
small group of people will open up to the
profound mystery of Kailash in the presence of
Mohanji, allowing the mighty Kailash to
envelop them on the most sacred journey of the
lifetime!
Team Mohanji lovingly invites all who feel
ready for this challenge to participate in the
Kailash with Mohanji 2016 pilgrimage. This is
a truly rare opportunity as it is highly unlikely
that Mohanji will travel to Kailash again (at least
not in his physical form..)

.About
. . .Mohanji
..............
Mohanji is an everyday man with whom
different people connect differently. Some say
that He is a mystic whose presence turns you
inwards, while others are completely at home
and feel natural around Him. The essence of
Mohanji cannot truly be put into a frame. He is
what you make of Him. At the essence,
Mohanji is a mirror. Like any mirror, He is
empty and reflects back the aspirations,
perceptions and concepts of the person so they
perceive themselves as they are in a non-judg-
mental way. Mohanji s nature radiates that of
a loving mother, a best friend, a devoted family
man, a lucid philosopher and an uncondition-
ally loving guide.
Always spontaneous, living fully in the
moment, childlike yet firm, His friends,
associates and followers have witnessed many
of His shades but like the quintessential fable
of the blind men and the elephant, he is all the
below and yet beyond these frames.
In his own words, I am just an ordinary
human being just like every other being, with
all the expressions, emotions, strengths,
weaknesses and requirements that every being
on earth are unavoidably attached to. This
incarnation is called Mohan and will die as
Mohan. I am not another person or a principle.
Do not connect to me as someone else.
Page 1
I am as perishable as all incarnations will be. I
walk this earth for a duration, for a certain
purpose just like you, and once the purpose is
completed, this incarnation will end. I am
nothing special. I am indebted if my incarna-
tion becomes useful to the world and its
beings. For you, I am what you make of me.
Many people connect to me in many ways. I
am all that and not that too because each
incarnation is multi faceted. One can see or
experience only a few facets of each incarna-
tion as per their frequency and consciousness.
As consciousness, I am never born and will
never die and will serve the universe as long as
it takes beyond life and death.
Mohanji travels extensively around the world,
conducting satsangs, wellness retreats, leading
pilgrimage trips to power places such as
Mount Kailash, Kumbh Mela and the Bosnian
pyramids. He makes it a point to always be
available to all those with a sincere desire to
evolve spiritually. His writings and messages
are available both through his own blog and
on a Q&A blog that contains transcripts of his
Q&A sessions with seekers during satsangs.
Experiences by various followers are available
on an experience sharing blog.
Kailash with Mohanji 2016
Mohanji is also an active philanthropist who
set up Ammucare (India, worldwide), a global
charitable foundation that serves as a platform
for selfless service beyond all man-made
barriers supporting and uplifting the helpless
and needy by providing resources and services
such as food, clothing, shelter, medicine/medi-
cal treatment and education.
Kailash Yatra (Pilgrimage)
in Mohanjis Words
..................
Kailash! The world of Shiva! The world that
encompasses all worlds! Only one thing really
matters in this journey - GRACE.
Kailash stands in the middle of many moun-
tains, like the eternal Shiva Linga.
Clouds constantly perform abhishek (ritual
bathing of the deity) on the Linga. The Shiva
Linga represents the Supreme Lord, The Eternal
Parabrahma. Only when Shiva calls can one
touch the soil surrounding Kailash. It is the
ultimate destination of every man. It is the
abode of salvation, the ultimate dissolution.
Kailash reflects everything that makes life on
earth. Being one with Shiva! Being Shiva!
The abode becomes the Lord. In front of the
eyes of a true devotee, Kailash attains the
numerous bhaav (flavor) in accordance to the
constitution of the one who witnesses it. The
evershifting clouds form its costume. They also
display the faces of celestial beings who come
to worship the Mighty Shiva, as if welcoming
them. The rare vermillion sky becomes the
bindi between the eyebrows of Goddess
Parvati (Lord Shivas consort). In the moonlit
night, the garlands of the unpredictable winds
become Shivas exhalations. Every stone, every
cloud, every bit of air chants aloud Om
Namah: Shivaaya!
Page 2
Only those who have the eyes to see and
ears to hear will witness the glory of Shiva
everywhere. Every breath is His grace. Only
Grace Matters.
The whole earth is important. Yet, Kailash, just
like our third eye, is supremely important, as
the pillar or a key control point of the eternal
universe. When a man touches the soil of
Kailash with his feet, his journey of life
becomes meaningful, fulfilled and his life
becomes complete. Happy Journey! May the
Supreme Lord Shiva make your journey of life
successful and fulfilling!
The Location
..................
Up north from the vast plains of the Ganges
valley in India, beyond the Kingdom of Nepal
and north east of the great Himalayas lies the
roof of the world, the land of snows - Tibet,
home to the holiest mountain in the world -
the abode of Shiva - The Mt. Kailash.
Sacred to a fifth of the worlds population, a
journey to Mount Kailash is the ultimate
pilgrimage for Hindus, Buddhists, Tibetan, Bon
and Jains. Mystical, magical and sacred,
Kailash and Mansarovar have a place in the
human ethos, seldom given to any other
pilgrimage destination.
Kailash with Mohanji 2016
Around 40 kilometers from its southern base
lies the beautiful Mansarovar, the worlds
highest freshwater lake. Famed for its excep-
tional beauty, its sacred waters change color
from a clear blue around the shores to a deep
emerald green in the center. It looks positively
magical in the moonlight. Together with
Mansarovar, this mountain is surrounded by
innumerable myths, stories and legends that
add to the mystique of this most inapproach-
able place on earth.
Mount Kailash is one of the most important
energy portals of the earth as it has been
consistently accepted as the Earths crown
chakra or Sahasrarachakra in many ancient
historical references. The tantric masters of
India, through their correspondences of As
above, so below, state that the Supreme
Consciousness in a human being or Lord Shiva
resides both upon the physical Mount Kailash,
as well as upon the Mount Kailash within the
body, that is, the human crown chakra.
The spiritual importance of Kailash dates back
to the Bon and Hindu religions. Sacred to five
major religions of the world, the Hindus,
Buddhists, Sikhs, Jains and Bons, the Kailash is
the physical aspect of the spiritual Mt. Meru, a
tangible aspect of divinity on Earth.

What its About and
Why You Should Attend
..................
The focus of the Kailash with Mohanji pilgrim-
age is intense spiritual transformation and
purification. Transsformation and purification
happens on all levels - physical, emotional,
intellectual and spiritual and on various
aspects and dimensions:
o Besides the group sessions, you will have an
opportunity to have some private one-on-one
time with Mohanji to field your most personal
questions and address specific issues in your life.
o Pilgrimage and visits to places of sanctity and
power have a lot of value in this cleansing. As
we imbibe the energy of those places, especially
in the presence of a Master, they affect subtle
transformations in us.

Participating in Kailash with Mohanji

pilgrimage is a rare opportunity for any spiritual
seeker; while many yearn for this throughout
their lifetime, only a select few are able to fulfill
this desire
Further, to take a holy dip in the Manasarovar
(the lake built by Lord Brahma for the Gods) in
the presence of a Master is an enormous
blessing
In a small group, you will be in close
proximity to Mohanji for the duration of the Throughout the pilgrimage, Mohanji works on

mean an ascetic existence

o First level of awareness building and cleansing

is through daily discourses and Q&A sessions
with Mohanji. While his presence alone has a
very intense purifying effect, satsang is a
beautiful medium for this transfer and connec-
tion. He delivers knowledge and guidance with
directness and simplicity, perfectly tuned to
each individuals requirements.

Kailash Mansarovar Yatra Tracks
..................
In earlier years, we had only one track for the
Kailash Mansarovar Yatra the Outer Kora
parikrama - which was a 3 day circumambula-
tion trekking around the holy Mt. Kailash.
During this 3 day trek, the pilgrim had to trek
uphill for about 4 to 5 hours to reach the top of
Dolmala Pass (5800m) then trek down to the
valley floor. This is challenging and tough for
many people and requires a good level of
physical fitness inspite of the option to ride
mules and have sherpas carry the baggage. We
had several requests from people that wanted to
experience the grandeur of Kailash and visit the
holy lake of Mansarovar but who could not
undergo the physical rigors of doing the
parikrama (circumambulation) of the Outer
Kora. Hence, we introduced an additional track
for Mansarovar this year.
Kailash with Mohanji 2016
In this track, the group travels to the holy
Mansarovar lake and has the sight of holy Mt.
Kailash. A dip in Lake Manasarovar in sight of
Mount Kailash is intensely purifying and this
most sacred of waters cleanses a great deal of
accumulated karma. Although the lake is at a
high altitude which can be physically challeng-
ing, it is far less demanding than the Outer Kora
circumambulation around Mount Kailash as
there is very little walking and no climbing
involved.
The group travels on till Yama Dwar (literally
The Gates of the Lord of Death) the start point
of the Outer Kora Parikrama and then heads
back to the holy Mansarovar lake and
completes the Mansarovar parikarma (circum-
ambulation) by road driving through the scenic
panoramic routes of Tibet.

Testimonials
..................
Before Mohanji went to Kailash, Shiva was only
a deity for me somewhere outside of me. When
He was there, I started feeling Shiva inside me.
Ekta Mehta, India, 2012
The havan on the banks of Mansarovar turned
out to be a very profound experience for me. I
cannot describe it in words. As I sat for the havan
and closed my eyes, my entire consciousness
shifted and moved to Kailash. I lost all body
consciousness. It was as if I was in one big
embrace of the consciousness, one with Mohanji,
one with the universal consciousness. My entire
being had merged with One whole conscious-
ness. There were no separate identities.!
Sumit Partap Gupta, India 2012
The ease of the journey is proportionate to the
degree of surrender and of faith, Guru does
everything for you, everything is delivered. It is so
at Kailash and it is so in life. The only indispens-
able prerequisite is grace!
Hein Adamson, South Africa 2014
Ultimate pilgrimage done. It is what happened
on the outside. What happened inside I cannot
explain. I did what I thought I couldnt. The
thought that its beyond my possibilities lost its
authority, and THAT was liberating. Besides that,
I live with new, fresh, deeper tranquility now.
Biljana Vozarevic, 2014
Kailash with Mohanji 2016
Disclaimer
..................
Kailash is a very demanding pilgrimage both
physically and mentally. As you are traveling
over high terrain, you are likely to experience
symptoms and discomfort of altitude sickness
(headache, loss of appetite, nausea, exhaustion,
sleeplessness, breathlessness etc.) until your
body adjusts to the elevation. This can take a
couple of days or more depending on the
individual. It is recommended to consult with a
doctor regarding the participants fitness to be in
those altitudes.
Further, Kailash is an energy powerhouse that
will effect powerful spiritual transformation that
may manifest as physical symptoms such as
pain, body ache, etc. or emotional upheavals.
Hence, the participants must ensure that they
have the requisite fitness levels and the flexibility
and agility to navigate such terrains as also the
mental fortitude to deal with the travails of
intense spiritual transformation. While grace of
Mohanji and Lord Shiva will be there and so will
help from the Sherpas, we request the partici-
pants to bear this in mind when they decide to
embark on the Kailash with Mohanji 2016
pilgrimage.

Registration Application Process
..................
The Kailash Mansarovar yatra is a very sacred
pilgrimage People who have gone to past
Kailash trips with Mohanji can attest to the
spiritual transformation that it has brought
about in their lives. It is important that people
with the right attitude and bhaav (devotion)
join the trip so that the group energy is
conducive to everyones spiritual upliftment.
Also, the Kailash experience is tough both
physically and emotionally which further
outlines the need to have the right group
synergy. In particular, it is our endeavour to
create a encouraging spiritual space in the
spirit of sangha (spiritual family) where the
participants support each other in their
transformations to derive the maximum
benefit from this pilgrimage.
Hence, we would prefer to avoid tourists
(spiritual or otherwise) since there are several
avenues available outside that cater to that
segment. People deeply connected to Mohanji
through his various activities conducted
globally or people deeply connected to Sai
Baba, Shiva or other masters who, repeating
again for emphasis, are focused on their
spiritual growth.
