Overview
The Council of Shamballa is a revered spiritual hierarchy composed of enlightened beings, Ascended Masters, and divine intelligences who oversee Earth’s spiritual evolution from the inner planes. Residing within the etheric realms of Shamballa, a sacred city of light often described as Earth’s spiritual capital, this Council acts as a bridge between cosmic will and planetary consciousness.
The Council serves as a central hub of divine governance, wisdom, and higher purpose, where the Will of God—channeled from higher cosmic councils and Source—flows into Earth’s evolutionary plan. Members of the Council are guardians of sacred knowledge, keepers of the Seven Rays, and stewards of planetary ascension.
Origin & Purpose
Shamballa is said to have been founded millions of years ago by Sanat Kumara, a high being of Venusian origin, who volunteered to sustain Earth’s spiritual light during its darkest epochs. Under his leadership, the Council of Shamballa was formed to uphold divine will and serve as spiritual guardians of humanity’s evolutionary journey.
The Council’s role is to:
- Anchor divine energy and planetary purpose into the Earth grid
- Guide and oversee the work of Ascended Masters and Initiates
- Monitor collective karma, soul development, and spiritual awakening
- Transmit the Seven Rays and Sacred Flames for humanity’s growth
- Harmonize planetary evolution with galactic and universal timelines
