The Kingdom of Agarttha
Saint-Yves d’Alveydre
The hidden realm of Agarttha was first revealed to the Western world in 1886 by the French esoteric philosopher Alexandre Saint-Yves d’Alveydre in his book “Mission de l’Europe en Asie,” translated here as The Kingdom of Agarttha. Saint-Yves’s book revealed that deep beneath the Himalayas are found enormous underground cities ruled by a sovereign pontiff known as the Brahâtma. Throughout history, the “unknown superiors” cited by various secret societies and esoteric groups were believed to be emissaries from this realm who had moved underground at the onset of the Kali-Yuga.
