ReviewsThere is a grandeur to this book. Its vivid and elegant prose lifts it far above the logorrheic authors of visionary and channeled literature. It rivals the fantasy fiction of H. P. Lovecraft or Jorge Luis Borges and reminds us that the earth is a place with many unexplored corners, enigmas, and surprises in store for us surface-dwellers., This edition's lengthy introduction by mystical musicologist Joscelyn Godwin provides rich historical context., . . . this is indeed a grand book about ancient civilizations, cosmic destiny, lost continents, great wisdom, and vast spans of time., Nowhere in the pages of The Kingdom of Agarttha will you find references to fantastic beasts or extraterrestrials haunting the bowels of the hollow earth. This is a serious study of how humanity can improve itself, with special reference to religious and political harmony, if we follow the Agartthian example.

SynopsisFirst English translation of the book that introduced the realm of Hollow Earth - Explores the underground world of Agarttha, sometimes known as Shambhala, a realm that is spiritually and technologically advanced beyond our modern culture - One of the most influential works of 19th-century occultism - Written by the philosopher who influenced Papus, Rene Gu non, and Rudolf Steiner The underground realm of Agarttha was first introduced to the Western world in 1886 by the French esoteric philosopher Alexandre Saint-Yves d'Alveydre with his book Mission de l'Inde , translated here for the first time into English. Saint-Yves's book maintained that deep below the Himalayas were enormous underground cities, which were under the rule of a sovereign pontiff known as the Brah tma. Throughout history, the "unknown superiors" cited by secret societies were believed to be emissaries from this realm who had moved underground at the onset of the Kali-Yuga, the Iron Age. Ruled in accordance with the highest principles, the kingdom of Agarttha, sometimes known as Shambhala, represents a world that is far advanced beyond our modern culture, both technologically and spiritually. The inhabitants possess amazing skills their above ground counterparts have long since forgotten. In addition, Agarttha is home to huge libraries of books engraved in stone, enshrining the collective knowledge of humanity from its remotest origins.

  • The Kingdom of Agartttha Review

    This was an interesting book but dealt little with Hollow Earth. The book is predominately about belief systems and the need to join into one common system where we live according to principals of doing what is right as opposed to obtaining selfish and politically oriented goals. The author makes mention of Agarttha but there simple isn't enough on this place. It's an ok read but leaves me looking for something more as in Hollow Earth, the place and not the philosophy of.
