The question arises: was there any practical interest in the search for Shambhala, or this question lies exclusively in the spiritual plane? It turns out that the legend of Shambhala really went beyond spiritual issues and interested very influential people. Shambhala, surprisingly enough, was involved in the geopolitical strategy of the 19th and 20th centuries. However, it should be noted that spiritual issues affect our daily life much more than we think …
The legend of Shambhala was brought to the level of international politics by the Buryat monk Aghvan Dorzhiev (1854-1938). He studied in Lhasa (the capital of Tibet), and became one of the official opponents in debates on philosophical issues - the assistant mentor of the Thirteenth Dalai Lama. In addition, he was a trusted advisor to the Tibetan leader on political matters. At the time, China and England were arguing over Tibet. And Dorzhiev decided to expand the circle of applicants for this country. He began to convince the Dalai Lama to turn to Russia for patronage, assuring him that Shambhala is the country, according to legend, located north of Tibet, is Russia, and the Russian Emperor Nicholas II is the reincarnation of Lama Tsinkapa, one of the most respected in the Buddhist tradition. religious leaders. According to some reports,he even tried to link the genealogy of the Romanov dynasty with the rulers of Shambhala. Dorzhiev organized several delegations to the Russian royal court and met with the emperor, seeking guarantees of military assistance to Tibet in the event of an attack by a third party. However, his efforts did not have the expected result. However, the visible result of such a negotiation process was the construction of the Kalachakra Buddhist temple in St. Petersburg. Dorzhiev asked for permission to build it on behalf of the Buryats and Kalmyks who lived in the Russian capital. The very first public ceremony, held in the new church in 1913, was timed to coincide with the three hundredth anniversary of the Romanov dynasty and dedicated to prayers for its long life. The committee for the construction of the Kalachakra temple included the Russian artist Nicholas Roerich, according to whose project the stained glass windows of this temple were made.

This is not the only situation when Shambhala was invisibly present in the political events of its time. In the 1920s, a well-known participant in the Russian Civil War, Baron von Ungern-Sternberg, served as a field commander of the White Guard and fought with the Reds in Siberia. With the support of Japan, he decided to liberate Mongolia and in 1920 invaded with troops. However, the baron's eccentricity was that, being a mystic, he tried to enlist the support of his enterprise from the subtle world. According to the testimony of the Polish scientist Ferdinand Ossendowski [1], who traveled across Mongolia during the Civil War and the campaigns of Baron Ungern, the Mongol lamas told him about the underground kingdom of Agartha, which, according to legend, is under Mongolia. This underworld is ruled by the "King of the World." A terrible war will break out in a grim futureand our world will be destroyed by materialism. At this time, the inhabitants of the country of Agharti will come out of their underworld and put an end to these horrors and violence. Such information echoes the ancient texts, where it is about the ruler of Kalka from Shambhala, who will appear to stop the war destroying the world. Ossendowski told this legend to Baron Ungern, and he twice equipped expeditions led by Prince Paulsig to search for Agharti. The second expedition ended very mysteriously - Prince Paulsig disappeared. Does this mean that he achieved his goal and found Agharti? No one could find out the truth … The legend of Shambhala remained unsolved.where we are talking about the ruler Kalka from Shambhala, who will appear to stop the war destroying the world.
