Not a single temple or hut was in sight and yet all the members of the expedition experienced the scent in their nostrils at the same time. This had happened on several occasions and there was absolutely nothing to explain it. (Quoted in Andrew Tomas, Shambhala, op. cit., p. 57) In the dark of numerous nights, Roerich saw vivid flashes of vertical pillars of white light streaking into the sky. "What is happening?” he asked his lama guides. They answered, "These are the rays from the Tower of Shambhala” (N. K. Roerich, Himalayas, op. cit.), explaining that the beams were purposely directed upwards from a large, triangular-shaped, glowing stone—the so-called Chintamani Stone—that sat atop the Jade Tower.

Among them was a magical golden rod called a dorge, said to have extraordinary supernatural capabilities. Fabulous accounts of this rod have been circulating in Tibet for centuries, and silver, brass and iron replicas are found in most Tibetan lamaseries today. It is believed that it emanated a brilliant radiance during special religious ceremonies, and in the hands of the King of Shambhala it was capable of focusing and manipulating potent cosmic forces. It is said that it also had the power of casting thunderbolts and burning holes in clouds. Many years after the discovery of the casket, five strangers suddenly appeared before the then King of Shambhala, Tho-tho-ri Nytan-tsan, and instructed him on the proper use of the objects in the casket.
