This remarkable book grew out of a conference headed by Ren Gunon,
the sinologist Ren Grousset, and the neo-Thomist Jacques Maritain
on questions raised by Ferdinand Ossendowski's thrilling account in
his Men, Beast and Gods of an escape through Central Asia, during
which he foils enemies and encounters shamans and Mongolian lamas,
whose marvels he describes. The book caused a great sensation,
especially the closing chapters, where Ossendowski recounts legends
allegedly entrusted to him concerning the 'King of the World' and
his subterranean kingdom Agarttha. The present book, one of Gunon's
most controversial, was written in response to this conference and
develops the theme of the King of the World from the point of view
of traditional metaphysics. Chapters include: Western Ideas about
Agarttha; Shekinah and Metatron; The Three Supreme Functions;
Symbolism of the Grail; Melki-Tsedeq; Luz: Abode of Immortality;
The Supreme Center concealed during the Kali-Yuga; and The Omphalos
and Sacred Stones .
