Could the Mount Kailash described in ancient Indian texts be a different mountain? Indo-Tibetan historian Alex McKay joins Strange & Mysterious World to explore Mount Kailash, Shiva and his argument that Shri Kailash near the source of the Ganges may hold an overlooked place in this sacred history.Alex recounts his gruelling 1986 pilgrimage through Tibet and the journey that led him into decades of Himalayan research. We explore why Kailash draws pilgrims from different faiths, the legend of Milarepa, the relationship between landscape and spiritual experience, and how stories about sacred places change over time.We also discuss extraordinary claims surrounding Kailash—including rapid ageing and time distortion—and Alex explains why he distinguishes those stories from evidence. His identification of Shri Kailash is presented as a historical argument, not an established conclusion.An interview about faith, endurance and the search for meaning in the sacred Himalayas.Strange & Mysterious World | Season 6, Episode 14ELEUSIS TVhttps://eleusistv.com/FIND ALEX McKAYIn Search of Mount Kailash: Travels in the Sacred HimalayaPublisher and book information — Sun Rider Press:https://www.sunriderpress.com/Indian edition — Rachna Books:https://rachnabooks.com/shop/Academic profile and research background — IIAS:https://www.iias.asia/profile/alex-mckayCHAPTERS00:00 The pilgrimage that nearly killed him00:14 Introducing Alex McKay00:53 Why Mount Kailash is sacred01:49 The journey into Tibet05:16 Exhaustion, help and a life transformed12:30 Was the original Kailash elsewhere?15:53 Weather, mystery and the mountain19:07 Swami Sundarananda and Himalayan practice21:26 Spiritual learning: Himalayas or city life?24:49 Sacred traditions, climbing and ancient legends29:53 Why the summit remains unclimbed35:37 Milarepa and the mountain legends39:11 Time-machine stories and the evidence43:23 A personal experience and its cautions47:18 Pilgrimage, humility and hope48:33 In Search of Mount Kailash#MountKailash #AlexMcKay #Shiva #Himalayas #StrangeAndMysteriousWorld
