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.

Shambhala is the very expression of perfection, the ultimate manifestation of peace and harmony, the abode of those with pure minds and souls who radiate compassion and long for spiritual awakening to benefit all sentient beings.

Shambhala is a source of cosmic culture and spirituality, whose representatives have subtly protected and directed humanity over the centuries, like a guiding star.

As part of our soul’s longing, in our collective unconscious, Shambhala is the very expression of that hope for spiritual realization.

It also represents a mirror to the innermost dimension, the very radiance of the Spiritual Heart.

A beautiful Medieval Sufi story, “The Conference of Birds,” describes the journey that the birds took to find Simurgh, their legendary king. After many challenges and years of searching, they finally realize that Simurgh (meaning “thirty birds”) is nothing but themselves. The journey was necessary only to overcome their dualistic vision. The Shambhala journey is like this…
