THE ROAD TO SHAMBALA
Dalai Lama's Residence - Valley of Gods
Tibetan Ancient Kingdom - Spiti & Lahaul Valleys
There are places on our planet where we come to realize that everything is one—external and internal, microcosm and macrocosm. The mystery of Kalachakra. We learn to be present in the external world through concentration on the internal. But not through doctrines or established formulas—rather, by gaining inner knowledge.
A journey through the Kulu, Spiti, and Lahaul Valleys unveils new facets of consciousness in each individual. It is here that you realize it is not so important where the entrance to Shambhala lies, whether it ever existed, or the historical truth of the Battle of Kurukshetra, as described in the ancient epic, the Bhagavad Gita. The feeling of truth, beauty, and power that emerges in these places cannot be compared to anything else.
Here, a person finally begins to know and recognize themselves—their infinity and integrity, to see their path and their true nature along the way. The mesmerizing power of the Himalayan mountains, casting snow dust into the clouds and onto the earth. Rivers, sacred and seething with purity and uncompromising force. Air, ringing with its clarity and boundlessness.
Everything here unites within each person. Everything is realized.
