Holy Mountains

"Holy Mountains" explores the profound religious and historical significance of mountains across diverse cultures, examining why these geological formations are consistently revered as sacred sites. Mountains often serve as "axis mundi," connecting the earthly and divine realms, influencing religious rituals and artistic expression. It's intriguing how mountains, due to their physical grandeur and perceived proximity to the divine, have become central to the spiritual lives of millions.

The book adopts an interdisciplinary approach, drawing from religious studies, anthropology, and geography to understand mountain veneration. It progresses from establishing a theoretical framework, to examining specific examples like Mount Sinai and Mount Kailash, and finally analyzing the broader implications for environmental ethics and interfaith dialogue.

This study uniquely synthesizes scholarship to offer a comprehensive understanding of sacred landscapes and their cultural heritage.
