Mystery of Shambhala

The concept of a hidden world beneath the Earth’s surface has ancient roots, with numerous folk tales and oral traditions across various cultures describing subterranean civilizations that embody harmony, contentment, and spiritual power. These legends often depict a mystical kingdom, sometimes referred to as Agharta, which is frequently associated with Shambhala.

Early European explorers to Tibet consistently recounted tales of a secret spiritual center. Adventurers spoke of a hidden kingdom near Tibet, known by various names that led to confusion about its true identity. While it was commonly referred to as Agharta (with alternative spellings such as Agharti, Asgartha, or Agarttha), it is now predominantly recognized as Shambhala.

In its simplest form, Agharta is described as a mysterious underground realm located beneath Asia, connected to other continents through an extensive network of tunnels. These passageways, a mix of natural formations and constructions by the inhabitants of this subterranean kingdom, have served as communication routes since ancient times. Legends suggest that while some of these tunnels still exist today, many have been lost to cataclysms. The precise locations and means of entry into these passages are said to be known only to select high initiates, who safeguard the details due to the kingdom’s vast repository of secret knowledge. Some believe this knowledge stems from the lost civilization of Atlantis and even earlier intelligent societies.

The legend of Shambhala has garnered attention not only for its mystical elements but also due to credible explorations. Notably, Nicholas Roerich (1874-1947), a Russian artist and mystic, embarked on an expedition across the Gobi Desert to the Altai Mountains from 1923 to 1928. His journey spanned 15,500 miles across some of the highest mountain passes in the world.

As noted by Victoria LePage in her book Shambhala, Roerich was a figure of significant cultural stature—collaborating with Stravinsky and being involved with the League of Nations. During his travels in the summer of 1926, he documented an extraordinary event in his diary while encamped in the Sharagol Valley near the Humboldt mountain range. He and his companions observed a large, golden spheroid object moving rapidly across the sky from north to south before disappearing behind the mountains. A lama accompanying Roerich interpreted this sighting as “the sign of Shambhala,” indicating that his mission was blessed by the Great Ones of Altai.

The allure of Shambhala continues today, deeply rooted in Tibetan Buddhism and Hinduism. Its significance is reflected in ancient texts such as the Kalachakra prophecies, which predict a future where Shambhala will emerge during times of crisis to combat evil forces and usher in a new Golden Age. The Dalai Lama has emphasized that Shambhala is not merely a physical location but rather a spiritual realm accessible through inner transformation.

As interest in Shambhala persists among spiritual seekers worldwide, it remains a symbol of hope and enlightenment within various traditions.

I was really into this years ago, but gave up trying to get in when some freaky stuff happened. I believe one entrance to the Great Underground Empire is up at Mt. Shasta, where I found a huge ancient skull face carved into the side of a cliff. It’s there if you look, but most people just overlook it.
