“For me, the Himalayas are the top of the world not only in height, but also in all the blessed, meaningful traditions. You know from my books that it was the uplands of the Himalayas and Trans-Himalayas that were one of the main points of migration of peoples, thus combining the best styles of the West, putting forward the Scythian tradition, recalling the Romanesque style and other unforgettable cultural treasures... Many world legends came from these Snowy peaks. Thoughts of healing herbs, wonderful meteor dust, magnetic currents and high energies for the benefit of humanity will lead us again to the same snow giants”.
