Agartha is one of the most common names cited for the society of underground dwellers. Shamballa (also known as Shambalah or Shangri-La) is sometimes said to be its capital city [1]. In Tibetan Buddhist tradition Shambhala (also spelled Shambala or Shamballa; Tibetan bde byung, pron Shangri-La is a fictional place described in the 1933 Novel Lost Horizon by British author James The mythical paradise of Shamballa is known under many different names: It has been called the Forbidden Land, the Land of White Waters, the Land of Radiant Spirits, the Land of Living Fire, the Land of the Living Gods and the Land of Wonders.

While once a popular concept, in the last century little serious attention has been paid to these conjectures (with the possibly apocryphal exception of Adolf Hitler), and the theory is not supported by modern science. Hi and welcome to Wikipedia! Please understand that this article is frequently vandalized and vandalism is reverted immediately The idea of subterranean worlds may have been inspired by ancient religious beliefs in Hades, Sheol, and Hell. Hades (from Greek, Hadēs, originally, Haidēs or, Aidēs, probably from Indo-European *n̥-wid- 'unseen' refers both to the ancient Sheol (pronounced "Sheh-ole" in Hebrew שאול (Sh'ol is the "abode of the dead" the " Underworld " "the common Hell, according to many Religious beliefs, is a location in the Afterlife, which may be described as a place of suffering Ferdynand Antoni Ossendowski's 1920 book Beasts, Men, and Gods also discusses Agartha. Antoni Ferdynand Ossendowski (1876-1945 was a Polish Writer, Journalist, traveller Globetrotter, Explorer and University The myth of "Agartha" is also known as "Shambhala", as it was known in India, the underworld realm peopled by initiates and lead by 'the Masters", Masters who are the Spiritual leaders of humanity.

Agartha is the great Asian University of the Initiates of the Greater Mysteries. Their 'Mahatma' ('Great Soul'), Who is also known as " The Lord of The World " , plays the part of the supreme spiritual leader of humanity. According to Alexandre Saint-Yves d'Alveydre (1842-1909) of France, the secret world of "Agartha" and all of its wisdom and wealth "will be accessible for all mankind, when Christianity lives up to the commandments which were once drafted by Moses and Jesus, meaning ' When the Anarchy which exists in our world is replaced by the Synarchy". Marquis Alexandre Saint-Yves d'Alveydre (1842 - 1909 was a French Occultist who adapted the works of Fabre d'Olivet and in turn had his ideas adapted by Papus Saint-Yves gives a 'lively' description of "Agartha" in this book as if it were a place which really exists, situated in the Himalayas in Tibet. Saint-Yves' version of the history of "Agartha" is based upon ' revealed' information, meaning received by Saint-Yves himself through 'attunement'. [2]

Shambhala concept figures prominently in Vajrayana Buddhism and Tibetan Kalachakra teachings and revived in the West by Blavatsky and Theosophical Society. Vajrayana Buddhism is also known as Tantric Buddhism, Tantrayāna, Mantrayana, Mantranaya, Secret Mantra, Esoteric Buddhism and Kālacakra ( Sanskrit: कालचक्र IAST: Kālacakra Telugu: కాలచక్ర) is a Sanskrit term used in Tantric Elena Petrovna Gan (Елена Петровна Ган also Hélène, Yekaterinoslav, Ukraine, Russian Empire — May 8 1891 London) better The Theosophical Society was the organization formed to advance the spiritual principles and search for Truth known as Theosophy. As with many concepts in Vajrayana Buddhism, the idea of Shambhala is said to have an 'outer,' 'inner,' and 'secret' meaning. The outer meaning understands Shambhala to exist as a physical place, although only individuals with the appropriate karma can reach it and experience it as such. There are various ideas about where this society is located, but it is often placed in central Asia, north of Tibet. The inner and secret meanings refer to more subtle understandings of what Shambhala represents, and are generally passed on orally [3]. Alice Bailey transformed it into a kind of extradimensional or spiritual reality. Alice Ann Bailey ( June 16, 1880 &ndash December 15, 1949) known as Alice A The Roerichs see its existence as both spiritual and physical.

The Hollow Earth or hollow planet theory is also supported by superconscious knowledge based channeled sources of universal nature like Seth channeled by Jane Roberts, Ramtha by J. Hollow Earth is a belief that the planet Earth has a hollow interior and possibly a habitable inner surface Jane Roberts ( May 8, 1929 &ndash September 5, 1984) was an American author Psychic and trance medium Z.

Not to be confused with Eden Gardens.The Garden of Eden ( Hebrew "pleasure" גַּן עֵדֶן Arabic: جنات عدن, While Emerson does not use the name Agartha, later works such as Agartha - Secrets of the Subterranean Cities have identified the civilization Jansen encountered with Agartha, and its citizens as Agarthan.

According to Secrets, Shamballa the Lesser, one of the colonies, was also the seat of government for the network. The seat of government is the location of the government for a political entity. While Shamballa the Lesser is an inner continent, its satellite colonies are smaller enclosed ecosystems located just beneath the Earth's crust or discreetly within mountains. An ecosystem is a natural unit consisting of all plants animals and micro-organisms( Biotic factors in an area functioning together with all of the non-living physical ( Cataclysms and wars taking place on the surface drove these people underground. These were said to include a lengthy Atlantean-Lemurian war and the use of thermonuclear weaponry that eventually sank and destroyed these two highly advanced civilizations.

The Sahara, Gobi, the Australian Outback and the deserts of the southwestern U.S. are said to be but a few examples of the devastation that resulted. The Sahara (الصحراء الكبرى aṣ-ṣaḥrā´ al-kubra, "The Great Desert" is the world's largest hot Desert and the world's second largest The Gobi (Говь Govi or Gov', "gravel-covered plain" Chinese: zh-t 戈壁(沙漠 Gēbì (Shāmò) Outback or the Outback refers to remote arid areas of Australia, although the term colloquially can refer to any lands outside of the main Urban areas The United States of America —commonly referred to as the The sub-cities were created as refuges for the people and as safe havens for sacred records, teachings and technologies that were cherished by these ancient cultures.

It is believed that the great kingdom of Lemuria which was located in the Gobi desert in Mongolia was destroyed by Atlantis in a great war that led to a cataclysmic destruction of Atlantis and Mu. Mu was a great city on the surface of what is now the Gobi desert. It had 2 satellite cities by the name of Agartha Alpha and Beta that survived the destruction.

The inhabitants of Agartha are said to have scientific knowledge and expertise far beyond that of the people who live on the surface of the planet, lost technology from the days of Atlantis.

The descendants of ancient Lemuria now live in peace in subterranean caverns. The leaders of these states (variously called Ascended Masters, Guardians of the Tradition, psychoteleios – "the perfected ones" –, Ancient Ones, the Watchers, the Immortals, the Monitors, the Hidden Directorate, the Children of Seth, etc. Ascended Masters, in the Ascended Master Teachings is derived from the Theosophical concept of Masters of Wisdom or "Mahatmas". ) all follow what is known as the Ancient Path and do not interfere in the lives of humans that live above the surface. Nor is there any interaction between them.

There are no entrances to Agartha Alpha and Beta from any other part of the planet. The only entrances are in the Gobi desert itself and are secured by illusory technology that is beyond the comprehension of modern science.

The Tibetans refer to the cities of Agartha as Shamballa and have believed for centuries in their existence as reservoirs of ancient knowledge and advanced technology.

Tibet

According to other sources the Potala palace is said by the people there to sit atop an ancient cavern and tunnel system, which reaches throughout the Asian continent and possibly beyond. The Potala Palace () is located in Lhasa, Tibet Autonomous Region of the People's Republic of China. The Nagas also traditionally have an affinity with water, and the entrances to their underground palaces are often said to be hidden at the bottom of wells, deep lakes and rivers.

Inhabitants

The Old Ones - In an article entitled "The Hollow Earth: Myth or Reality" for Atlantis Rising, Brad Steiger writes of the legends of "the Old Ones," an ancient race that populated the surface world millions of years ago and then moved underground. Atlantis Rising was released in 2001 by Manilla Road. It is a Concept album about the lost continent of Atlantis re-emerging and the resulting war between Brad Steiger (b 1936 is an American Writer and Paranormal researcher "The Old Ones, an immensely intelligent and scientifically advanced race," Steiger writes, "have chosen to structure their own environment under the surface of the planet and manufacture all their necessities. "

"The Old Ones are hominid, extremely long-lived, and pre-date Homo sapiens by more than a million years. Human beings, humans or man (Origin 1590–1600 L homō man OL hemō the earthly one (see Humus The Old Ones generally remain aloof from the surface peoples, but from time to time, they have been known to offer constructive criticism; and it has been said, they often kidnap human children to tutor and rear as their own. "

The Elder Race

One of the most controversial tales of inner-Earth-dwellers is the so-called "Shaver Mystery. Richard Sharpe Shaver (b October 8 1907 Berwick Pennsylvania, d " In 1945, Amazing Stories magazine under the editorship of Ray Palmer ran a story told by Richard Shaver, who claimed he had recently been the guest of what remained of an underground civilization. Year 1945 ( MCMXLV) was a Common year starting on Monday (link will display the full calendar Amazing Stories was an American Science fiction magazine launched in April 1926 by Hugo Gernsback 's Experimenter Publishing. Ray Palmer may refer to Raymond A Palmer - science-fiction writer Ray Palmer (comics - a DC Comics comic book character Richard Sharpe Shaver (b October 8 1907 Berwick Pennsylvania, d Although few really believed the story, and many suspect that Shaver may actually have been psychotic, Shaver always averred that his story was true.

He contended that the Elder Race, or Titans, came to this planet from another solar system in our prehistoric past. In Greek mythology, the Titans ( Greek: Tītā́n; plural Tītânes) were a race of powerful Deities that ruled during the legendary After a time of living on the surface, they realized our sun was causing them to age prematurely, so they escaped underground, building huge subterranean complexes in which to live. Eventually, they decided to seek a new home on a new planet, evacuating the Earth and leaving behind their underground cities populated by artificial beings: the evil Dero - detrimental robots - and the good Tero - integrated robots. It was these beings that Shaver claimed to have met.

Despite the enormous popularity of the Shaver Mystery in Amazing Stories - Palmer milked it for all it was worth, and more - the location of the entrance to this underground world was never divulged.
