Kailasa

Yoga KagraKaivalya

Kailasa [the name of a fabulous mountain, residence of Kuvera and paradise of Siva].
kaivalya [absolute unity].
kaj [Beng.] work.

 


Kailasa - mythical mountain in Tibet upon which the god Shiva lives and meditates
Kala - cycle of time
Kala - [accented differently in Sanskrit] literally "power" or ability ...

Thus it is that in a symbolic language the Puranas speak of such saints as Narada going to all the worlds including Vaikuntha, Satyaloka and Kailasa.

His sannyasa initiation rites were performed at the Kailasa Ashram by His Holiness Sri Swami Vishnudevanandaji Maharaj. From that moment on, Swami Sivananda dressed to clothe himself, ate to live and lived to serve humanity.

there is the lotus with a thousand petals,
shining like the light of heaven:
it is the giver of liberation.
Its secret name is Kailasa,
the mountain where Siva dwells.
He who knows this secret place
is freed from samsara.

[60] The story of Gokarna in Karnataka is also similar in that Ravana, on the way to Lanka from Kailasa, gave the lingam to Ganesha to keep until he bathes, but Ganesha fits it in the earth, so the lingam is called Mahabaleshwara.
