Since 1994 the Church of Shambhala along with its associated UK Charity “New Group of World Servers Trust”, which are both founded and directed by H.H. Tulku Buddha Maitreya the Christ and His wife Mandarava Tara have made extensive donations to Drepung Monastery in Southern India, and are now fund-raising for the next round of building work.

In the 1950’s it was re-established in Karnataka State, Southern India. Its structure consists of “khamtsens” or houses which are based on the original regional affiliations.
