It's almost certain that you're familiar with the concept of Shangri-La, a hidden paradise filled with mythical wonders. But fewer people are familiar with the origin of this legend, which comes from the 1933 novel Lost Horizon by James Hilton.
The legend starts wayback in Ancient India, around 4oo BC. At the time the legend was known as the legendof Mahabharata. In the legendof Mahabharata there is a place referred to as Northern Kuru (Kalmiya). InNorthern Kuru everything is perfect (Kalmiya). This place is considered to also be autopia. 'The people here are happy andfree from illness' (Kalmiya). In Northern Kuru there are fruit trees that give off immortal nectar, sopeople may live 'ten thousand ten hundred years' (Kalmiya). After many years the legend of Mahabharata was translated into Tibetan,and now this legend is referred to as Shangri-La (Kalmiya).

Another name forShangri-La is Shambhala (Crystalwinds.com). Dependingon what religion you believe, determines what you call this perfect utopia (Crystalwinds.com). InShangri-La there is forever youth, and lifelong happiness (Crystalwinds.com). Thepeople in Shangri-La possess perfect bodies, and have supernatural powers (Crystalwinds.com). The people ofShangri-La have perfect qualities, such as love and wisdom, and know nothing ofsuffering or desire (Crystalwinds.com).
Peoplebelieve Shangri-La to be a barrier between Earth and life after (Crystalwinds.com). Shangri-La is located in the icy mountains ofthe Himalayas (Crystalwinds.com). It issaid to be hidden to keep out any wondering outsiders. Many people have triedto find Shangri-La, but have been unsuccessful. The only way people can find Shangri-La is if they have purespirituality (Crystalwinds.com). The King of Shambhala travelled to India and met with Buddha to learnthe spiritual teachings of the Kalachakra (Crystalwinds.com). He took these teachings back to the city, where the teachings were preserved(Crystalwinds.com). What if you had the same spirituality that is taught in Shangri-La? Would it be possible that you could havefound the utopia?
Thereis also a Prophesy of Shangri-la, just as there are prophesies in differentreligions on Earth. It is said therewill be thirty-two kings to rule in Shangri-la (Crystalwinds.com). Each of the kings will rule for 100years (Crystalwinds.com). When Shangri-La is on their 32nd king, Earth will start toend (Crystalwinds.com). Barbarians will set out looking for something more to conquer, and willcome across the Himalaya Mountains, and try to destroy Shangri-La (Crystalwinds.com). However, Shangri-La will defeat them (Crystalwinds.com).
Thelegend of Shangri-La has many similarities as Earth. However, they deal more with religion, andspirituality, than anything else. Since religionis so complex on Earth there is really no way to know 100% if Shangri-La isreal. Epically, since they have their own belief in religion and to find theutopia you must believe in their teachings.
