"The legendary utopia of Shambhala... ruled by the god Shiva, is a world that only those souls who have penetrated the full truth of the universe may enter. There the world's saviors, whose goal it is to save all souls and lead them to gedatsu progress in their own training. Master Asahara has been reborn from that realm into the human world so that he migh take up his messianic mission. Thus the Master's efforts to embody truth throughout the human world are in accordanc with the great will of the god Shiva."
