Shambhala Shining

This work represents a collection of key writings by Nikolai Konstantinovich Roerich dedicated to one of the central mythologems of his philosophical and artistic world – Shambhala.

Shambhala is viewed as a symbol of spiritual hierarchy, an ethical ideal, and a meta-historical reality. 

Roerich's synthetic approach unites artistic vision, scientific interest in the archaeology and ethnography of Central Asia, as well as the theosophical doctrine of humanity's spiritual evolution. Special emphasis is placed on the concept of the "New Era" (the Age of Maitreya). 

The book is aimed at specialists in philosophy, cultural studies, art history, and religious studies, as well as all researchers of the intellectual history of the 20th century, Russian cosmism, and the intercultural dialogue between East and West.
