What's the most mysterious mountain in world? Mt. Sumeru or Mt. Kailash?
Is this a mountain ET base like Mt. Shasta, CA?
Not a solid black mass but concrete with rocks?
- Maybe we stand corrected: High in Bhutan, this is not Mt. Sumeru

Mt. Sumeru at the center of Buddhist cosmology

Bhutanese thanka of Mt. Meru in Buddhist Universe |
It is the sacred mountain of Buddhist, Hindu, and Jain cosmologies. It is considered to the center of all physical, metaphysical, and spiritual universes [1], [the axis mundi of a multiverse, which is not to say every multiverse in the omniverse].
This mysterious "mountain" (or magnetic lines of force extending out of the atmosphere and into space where the heavenly planes are physically located) is also mentioned in some scriptures of non-Dharmic religions such as Taoism, which was influenced by the arrival of Buddhism in China [2].
There is no clear identification of Mt. Sumeru with a particular geophysical location, but it is always located in the Himalayan or Aravalli ranges. Many famous Buddhist, Hindu, and Jain temples have been built as symbolic representations of this mountain.
Why is this one bead different than the others? |
THE NAME meru derives from Sanskrit and means "high." The proper name of the mountain is Meru (Sanskrit Meruparvata), with the prefix su-, resulting in the meaning "Excellent or Sublime Mount Meru" [3]. Meru is also the name of the central bead in a string of rosary beads or mālā [4].
