This episode explores mountains as sacred places where humanity feels closest to the divine. In Hinduism, the Himalayas—especially Mount Kailash—are revered as the dwelling place of Shiva and a cosmic center of the universe. Buddhism views mountains as sites of meditation and awakening, with hermits seeking clarity in high, silent peaks. Christianity and Judaism both highlight mountains as settings for revelation—Mount Sinai, Mount Tabor, and the Sermon on the Mount. In Islam, mountains symbolize God’s power and stability, with the Cave of Hira marking the Prophet Muhammad’s first revelation. Indigenous cultures worldwide see mountains as ancestors, guardians, and spiritual teachers—from the Navajo sacred peaks to Japan’s Mount Fuji and the Andean apus. Through vivid stories—from Sherpa wisdom in Nepal to a Peruvian pilgrim’s yearly offerings—the episode shows that mountains inspire humility, reflection, and spiritual ascent. Sacred mountains remind us that while the climb may be slow, every step brings the spirit closer to understanding and purpose.
