Picture of the Month – The White Island
The White Island is a secret place which, in ancient times, was located in an inland lake and is currently located in the Desert Gobi. It is the place of descent of many sublime beings of higher intelligence where the Lord of the World, Sanat Kumara, is said to be at home. The painting “Shamballa” by Nicholas Roerich shows the glacier peaks of the mountain range of Thang-La which reminds of the White Island. The painting stems from an expedition through the Himalayas, Tibet, and the Desert Gobi in the 1920s. Many thanks to the Roerich Museum in New York.
