Description

Heart of Asia by Nicholas Roerich

Heart of Asia documents Nicholas Roerich's transformative expedition through Central Asia, where he explored the region as scientist, artist, adventurer, and spiritual seeker. This book chronicles his search for Shambhala and the wisdom he believed resided at the heart of the planet.

About the Journey

Roerich ranged through Central Asia with relentless curiosity, recording his findings on paper and canvas. For him, Central Asia was the repository of ancient wisdom, the place where one returns and emerges reborn. His expedition combined scientific observation, artistic documentation, and spiritual inquiry into a singular quest for understanding.

Roerich's Philosophy

Nicholas Roerich was fond of saying, "Blessed be the obstacles--through them we grow." He never chose the smooth path, instead seeking out life's challenges as sources of nourishment. Another of his sayings reflects this approach: "It is easier to climb a rocky slope than a smooth one. The rocks provide steps on which one can find the force to move upward."

Roerich devoted himself to searching for the seed of Good on Earth, wanting to learn how it could flourish and solve humanity's problems to reach planetary harmony. This search took him worldwide, but Central Asia remained the true source for him.

Shambhala and Spiritual Exploration

Shambhala was an unquestioned reality to Roerich--the heart of the planet and source of our spiritual survival and knowledge. The search for Shambhala represents the search for solutions to existence's problems, the vanquishing of obstacles, and the discovery of freedom beyond difficulty and tragedy.

More Than a Travel Guide

Heart of Asia functions as both geographical documentation and metaphorical guidebook. Few can climb these high passes or search for Shambhala physically, but the book enables readers to explore in their hearts. It documents the obstacles, troubles, and tragedies Roerich encountered, alongside the victories and liberation he discovered.

This paperback edition from the Nicholas Roerich Museum preserves Roerich's account of his Central Asian expedition, offering readers insight into both the physical terrain and the spiritual landscape he navigated during his remarkable journey along the ancient Silk Road.
