Tableau of N. Roerich: “The command of Rigden-jyepo”
For the Russian couple all the interventions of the governing yogi caste have just one goal, to prepare
for the coming of the future Buddha Maitreya Morya or Rigden-jyepo, who shall then make all
important decisions. According to the Roerichs both names are synonyms for the Rudra Chakrin, the
“wrathful wheel turner” and doomsday ruler of the Kalachakra Tantra. We thus await a fairytale
oriental despot who cares about his subjects: “Just like a diamond the light shines from the tower of
Shambhala. He is there — Rigden-jyepo, untiring, ever watchful for the sake of humanity. His eyes
never close. In his magic mirror he sees everything which happens on Earth. And the power of his
thoughts penetrates through to the distant countries. ... His immeasurable riches lay waiting to help all
the needy who offer to serve the cause of uprightness” (Augustat, 1993, p. 11).
In passing, this doomsday emperor from Shambhala also reveals himself to be the western king of the
Holy Grail, who holds the Holy Stone in his hands and who emigrated to Tibet under cover centuries
ago. He is returning now, messengers announce him. True Knights of the Holy Grail are already
incarnated on Earth, unrecognized . The followers of the Roerichs even believe that their master
himself protected the grail for a time and then returned it to Shambhala on his trip to Asia (Augustat,
1993, p. 114).
Apocalypse now
"Why do clouds gather when the Stone [the Grail] becomes dull? If the Stone becomes heavy, blood
shall be spilled”, we learn mysteriously (Schule der Lebensweisheit, 1990, p. 88). Behind this secret
of the grail lies the apodictic statement known from almost all religions that total war, indeed the
destruction of the world, is necessary in order to attain paradise. It is essential because in a good
dualist cliché the “brotherhood of Good” is always counterposed by the “brotherhood of Evil”. The
“sons of darkness” have succeeded in severing humanity’s connection to the “higher world”, the
“bright hierarchy”. The forces of the depths lurk everywhere. Extreme caution is required since an
ordinary mortal can barely distinguish the Evil from the Good, and further, “the brotherhood of Evil
attempts to imitate the Good’s method of action” (Schule der Lebensweisheit, 1990, p. 126).
The final battle between Light and Darkness is — the Roerichs say- presaged in the prophecies of the
