Shambhala. In Search of the Himalayan Stronghold

Shambhala. In Search of the Himalayan Stronghold

Nikolai Roerich is one of the most prominent philosophers of the 20th century, an outstanding artist, a celebrated traveler, as well as an archaeologist, writer, and public figure. From 1923 to 1928, Roerich dedicated himself to the Central Asian expedition.... Having overcome more than 25,000 kilometers through deserts and mountains, he came close to the goal of his spiritual quest — the mythical land of Shambhala, a place of convergence of East and West. This book collects brilliant narratives about the synthesis of cultures of different peoples: “Shambhala Shining,” “Heart of Asia,” “Maitreya,” “Altai — Himalayas,” and others. The travel notes of Nikolai Roerich immerse the reader in the spiritual life of Inner Asia, its ethnography, culture, and history. Here, you will also find stories and essays that will help you approach the understanding of the “most sacred word” and the “cornerstone concept of Asia” — the Stronghold of Great Knowledge and Light.
