Meaning : Among the Stationary objects , I am the Himalaya ...
Bharat is a Punya Bhoomi , Bharat is a Divine Land ... The Himalayas instantly appear before our eyes when we say this . Hima or Hema means Snow .. Himalaya means 'Abode of Snow' .
The Himalays stands majestically in the north of Bharat and ranges from the North West corner (Afghan border) to the North East corner (Chinese - Burmese border) . It is like a huge Umbrella or firm and high walls of an impregnable fort , protecting Bharat . It stops the Cold waves from north and thus saves Bharat from extreme , bitter and snowy cold . It stops the Monsoon winds from South West and redirests the same towards Eastern parts of Bharat and thus assists in regular and sufficient monsoon all over Bharat . It is the origin of major perennial rivers in Bharat and hence is the cause of plentiful water resources and resultant plenteous food production . Thus the Himalaya is crucial factor in protection from aggressors , in balanced Climatic conditions , good rains and abundance in food and other products from the fertile land .

Himalaya is the reason for establishment of temples in almost every hill and mountain in Bharat . Thus it contributes towards healthy living of Hindus by offering benefits of mountaineering in the guise of Devotion and worship .
Himalaya is the Abode of Shri Shiva . Nay . Himalaya is Shiva personified . Himalaya also houses great temples of Shri Vishnu , Shakti Sthalas of the Mother and many other Divine centers . Himalaya rooted deeply and firmly in Hindu minds is the cause for looking at every hill as Shiva Himself and Pradakshina (walking around the Hill) by thousands . Himalaya has inspired God - centred living by the Hindus .
In Tamil language , there is a popular phrase which means , "The Ghat is luring you" . The ghat is taken to mean the Cremation ground and this phrase is used for indicating advancing age . But , in reality , Ghat is mountain vally . This phrase , in fact , represents the intense and subtle desire or dream rooted deep in Hindu hearts , the desire to snap the bonds of worldly life , grow beyond attachments , likes and dislikes , develop Vairagya and reach the Himalaya . This dream has been nourished and kept alive in Hindu Hearts for thousands of years , from generation to generation . The desire may not get fulfilled but dream is cherished , nevertheless .Right from the days of Aadi Shankara , almost 2,500 years back to Swami Chinmayanand and Swami Dayanand in recent times , this dream has lived , has been attempted towards fulfillment . For all those who start the journey , Himalaya is the destination . But , many may end up at local mountains and hills . These are seen as miniature Himalaya . Thus Himalaya has been instrumental in kindling Spiritual aspiration in Hindu hearts .
Only those who have personally experienced the Himalayas , can grasp the Grandeur , Serenity , Divinity , Spiritual inspiration of the Himalayas .
Sthaavaraanaam Himaalayah .. Among the immobile objects , I am the Himaalayas ... says Shri Krishna .
