The Battle of Shambala

In the halls of Shambala where love and light shine
Warriors gather for the inevitable day
When evil storms the gates and ramparts.

In this battle the forces of materialism
Will attempt to appropriate the sacred
And the united forces of spirituality
Will respond by pouring forth 
To ultimate victory of liberation through death.

Who are these spiritual forces?
Buddhists, Christians, Jews, Hindus and Sufis.
Who are the materialist forces?
Radical Muslims, Woke anarchists and atheists.

What was a legend handed down for centuries
After the invading hordes of Islam
Swept across Southern Asia
Is now on the verge of modern reality.

Especially now with the latest Christian martyrdom,
The stage is set for battle
The timeline brought forward
And the sides clearly drawn.

Where will you be in the battle of Shambala?

According to our concept in Hinduism , Lord Kalki will take avtaar in Sambhal (a place in India) and destroy the evil forces. We are all living in "Kalyug", where the morality of the world is dwindling and it is in chaos.
