The Kulika Kings reign over Shambhala in unbroken succession, each ruling the hidden lotus-shaped kingdom for one hundred years from the capital Kalapa, preserving its enlightened civilization until the prophesied final battle.
Sucandra journeyed from Shambhala to receive the Kalachakra teachings from the Buddha at the great stupa near Dhanyakataka, then carried them back to his northern kingdom where he composed the root tantra and built a three-dimensional mandala of the entire cosmological system in precious metals and gems.
Shambhala is the vessel of the Kalachakra — the Wheel of Time tantra was brought to the hidden kingdom by its first king Sucandra and has been preserved there across centuries of successive rule, inseparable from the kingdom's identity and prophesied destiny.
