Join Hridaya Yoga founder Sahajananda for a free online series of satsangs exploring Shambhala, an inspiring divine realm.
Shambhala is an oasis of compassion, love, freedom, and light in the desert of materialism and ignorance… In Tantric Buddhism, Shambhala is a divine kingdom, the source of the Kalachakra teachings. Many esoteric traditions envision such a place as the center of planetary consciousness—the world’s spiritual generator, which is much more transparent to the Divine Will. It is seen as the bodhisattvas’ home and the perfect archetype of a spiritual sangha (community).
