The Sacred Top of Uch Sumer
Description:
Belukha... How much has been written about this mountain! The center of mainland Eurasia, equidistant from the four oceans. The highest peak of Altai. Energy bridge, according to Buddhist beliefs, connecting the Altai, Himalayas and Pamirs. The people of Altai were not given names except for Kadyn-Baji (Katuni Head), Ak-Suru (White Giant), Mus-Tuu (Ice Mountain), Uch-Ayra (Three Branches), and Uch-Sumer (Three Tops). And the Russian Old Believers, from the Uimon Valley, simply dubbed it Belukha - for the "white-headed" peaks, forever bound by ice and snow. And there are not many disputes around its peaks – people can not count how many of them really are: two that crown the Akkem wall (Eastern and Western peaks), or still three, as the Altaians interpret in their names? And then where is it, this third peak?
There is much mystery about this mountain that has yet to be explained to humanity. But one thing is indisputable, and is confirmed by his own experience by everyone who has ever been there. The unique energy of the Mountain! There is a special power, some invisible, but felt currents, causing a surge of inner spirituality and harmony. This peak is not for sports, it is for the soul, with this, perhaps, many climbers will agree. Magnet Mountain, Mountain Center! No wonder once in these parts N. Roerich was looking for a gate to Shambhala, the sky-high land of the gods.
And the Altai, the indigenous inhabitants of Altai, Belukha - sacred! And she was always like that. His heart, his symbol, his holy place. Where his past, present and great knowledge of the future are stored.
