Talk:Shambhala

kulika or kalkin
The name for the king of Shambhala (but Sambhala in Sanskrit manuscripts!) "kulika" has unfortunately gained currency. This is in fact a reconstruction from Tibetan Rigs-ldan, as far as I know going all the way back to Csoma de Koros and then reinforced by Roerich's translation of the Blue Annals. In fact, the form which appears in Sanskrit is Kalkin, or the Nominative Kalkī (long i) - cf. the Calcutta edition of the Kālacakratantra or its commentary, the Vimalaprabhā (so far only in a single edition, from Sarnath). I think this should be changed. User:86.101.83.189 12:51, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Why didn't this one archive? Immanuelle ❤️💚💙 (talk to the cutest Wikipedian) 04:38, 10 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Apparently there was some sort of invisible character in the signature that prevented the bot from recognizing it as a date. I've removed it, I think it should now be archived automatically eventually.  --JBL (talk) 21:32, 12 June 2023 (UTC)

in modern culture
would mention of the Three Dog Night song be appropriate? PurpleChez (talk) 19:20, 26 August 2019 (UTC)

Very bad
I am just disgusted to see how wikipedia turned down all pages related to mythology and esoterism to primary school summaries. It was not like that before, because all these topics belong to knowledge. But for you, knowledge is just science. And you are deleting anything which doesn't follow that faith, the faith in god science. Agarthi, Shambala, there are tons and tons of things to write about them, tons of studies, tons of debates. Not this very painful summary you put. 37.161.25.52 (talk) 16:38, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
 * I will again be super super nice and ask you to read wp:npa, wp:rs wp:fringe and wp:soap. Slatersteven (talk) 18:18, 7 February 2023 (UTC)
 * To answer the charge, Western esotericism is a respected academic field within religious studies. But that is not to say that Western esotericism scholars are gullible believers in the reality of Agartha and Shambhala. The broad consensus at English Wikipedia is that Guenon and other gurus like him did not write WP:RS. We have standards, you know. tgeorgescu (talk) 18:11, 15 March 2023 (UTC)

Aggressive archiving
@JayBeeEll I think the aggressive archiving will stay unless we change the archiving system but it was previously glitching due to really old comments and that is gonna be fixed now Immanuelle ❤️💚💙 (talk to the cutest Wikipedian) 04:09, 9 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Thanks; I did adjust the archiving settings to something less aggressive when I reverted (though in practice it may not matter too much, given how old most of these discussions are). The IP has been going around doing this to hundreds of articles, in many cases arranging that the talk-pages be completely emptied (or left with only unsigned/malformatted comments like the ones you fixed).  Happy editing, --JBL (talk) 17:10, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
