Kailash Journal

Kailash Journal: Pilgrimage in the Sacred Himalayas of Tibet

Sri Swami Satchidananda, Guru of Yogaville

Summary

"Kailash Journal" by Swami Satchidananda is a spiritual memoir documenting his pilgrimage to Mount Kailash as well as the surrounding areas.

This short read captures the physical and spiritual challenges faced during his journey. As a former resident of Swami Satchidananda’s Ashram at Yogaville, I found it fascinating to read about his early travels through India and Tibet prior to his prominent role of Guru.

Throughout this book he reflects on his profound experiences while offering unique insights into his own inner world. Swami Satchidananda shares the utter sacredness of the places visited, invoking wanderlust as well as sharing his inner transformation during his pilgrimage.

The book serves as both an inspiring travel narrative as well as a guide to the deeper spiritual significance of undertaking this sacred journey. I highly recommend this short read to anyone who wants to learn more about Swami Satchidananda’s early life.
