00:00At the center of the universe, three religions say, stands a mountain 84,000 leagues high.
00:06Mount Meru, the cosmic axis of Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain belief.
00:12The gods dwell in golden palaces on its summit.
00:15Its rivers flow to the four corners of the world.
00:18You will not find it on any map, because it was never just geography.
00:23It was the still point everything turns around.
00:26So humanity rebuilt it everywhere.
00:29Every temple spire, every stupa, a small Meru raised by human hands.
