COVER
Japanese photographer Shiro Shirahata spent eighteen months in the Nepal Himalaya mountain range on a photographic project which resulted in his magnificent book Nepal Himalaya. His photograph from that book of Mount Sharpu (in Tibetan, “Shar” means “east” and “phu” means “high spot in a valley”), estimated height 7200 meters, appears on the front and back cover of this book. The power and glory of this rugged and wild scene of rock, ice and gusty winds swirling around peaks at dazzling heights, seems a fitting abode for divinity, and a dramatic expression of His omnipotence. And in fact Lord Shiva, the Hindu God who destroys obstacles to God realizations, is said to dwell and dance among the high peaks of the Himalaya Mountains. Here, where the elements meet the sky in such natural glory and delight, where mind moves from stark solid snow and stone to soar into swirling space, can we sense the relationship of spirit and mind. I am grateful to Shiro Shirahata and Yama-kei (Publishers) Company for use of this fine photograph. (© Shiro Shirahata Nepal Himalaya published by Yama-kei Publisher Co., Ltd.).
