Shambala Book Cover

1 | Shambala

Recollect Shambala, bow down to Lord Sanat Kumara,

and tread the path of Lord Maitreya, the World Teacher.

Shambala connects the sky to the earth. It connects the invisible to the visible and the visible to the invisible. It links up the divine to the mundane and enables the ascension from the mundane into the divine.

The ancients believed Shambala as the birthplace of Shasta, whose other name is Sanat Kumara. The invisible is symbolized by Siva and the visible is symbolized by Shakthi; their meeting point is seen as the birth of Kumara. The Kumara is the ruler of this planet with Shambala as his citadel. The Lord of Shambala is also known in the Puranas as Subrahmanya.

Shambala is known only to the Adepts. They are ever silent while relating to the Shambala. They visit Shambala to receive the Plan. Their work is to be messengers of God upon Earth. The members of Shambala are all around on the planet; they also involve in tours and travels. They stimulate activities of goodwill and also manifest goodwill in action. They are bound by the Vow of Silence and speak not of their membership in Shambala. Their life is a life of offering; their inspiration is Shambala and the Lord of Shambala. (Shambala is differently spelt in English, Shasta is also differently spelled, the Sanskrit phonetics are followed to give the right sound of Shambala and the right sound of Shasta. Shasta is one of the names of Sanat Kumara; the Mount Shasta on the West Coast of the USA is named after Sanat Kumara.)
