Sanat Kumara founded the Spiritual Hierarchy 18 million years ago, and since then He has been the Planetary Logos of the Earth until Lord Gautama Buddha was ready to take His place. On the 21st of January 1956 He was released from His service earthbound.

He is one of the seven Kumaras that came from Venus in the Lemurian age, and their names are: Sanat Kumara, Sanaka Kumara, Sananda Kumara, Sanátana Kumara, Sana Kumara, Kapila Kumara y Sujata Kumara.

Kumara means “The Eternal Youth”, a young boy no more than 16 years old. His Keynote can be found in “Beautiful Dreamer”, by Stephen Foster. Another Keynote for Sanat Kumara is found in the famous “Caprice Vennois Op. 2” of composer and fiddler Fritz Kreisler, who was born in Vienna, Austria, on the 2nd of February 1875, and passed away in New York in 1962.

The Divine Complement of Sanat Kumara is Lady Venus, and Her Keynote is found in the Third Movement of the “Second Symphony” by Rachmaninoff. Her veiled name is SHUKRA.

Sanat Kumara brought the honey from his home Venus, the Planet of Love, and this is a sweet nectar exuded by plants and recollected by bees. It is a chemical product that heals bronchial infections, is cicatrizing, anti inflammatory, disinfects burns, heals bruises and regenerates scalp. It is also an extraordinary poly vitamin recommended for consumption.

LORD GAUTAMA

Lord Gautama took His last birth in India in the year 623 B.C., and in that incarnation He finished His series of lives as Bodhisattva, and succeeded the previous Buddha Kasyapa as Head of the Second Ray in the Occult Hierarchy of our globe. He was the first of our humanity to attain that stupendous height, the previous Buddhas having been the product of other evolutions, and a very special effort was needed on His part to prepare Himself for this lofty post, an effort so stupendous that it is spoken of constantly by the Buddhists as the Mahabhinishkramana, the Great Sacrifice.

That great sacrifice of the Buddha is spoken of in all the sacred books of the Buddhists; but they have not understood the nature of the sacrifice, for many believe it to have been the descent of the Lord Buddha from Nirvanic levels after His Illumination to teach His Law. It is true that He did so descend, but that would not be anything in the nature of a sacrifice; it would only be an ordinary, but not very pleasant piece of work. The great sacrifice that He made was this spending of thousands of years in order to qualify Himself to be the first of mankind who should help His brother-men by teaching to them the Wisdom which is life eternal.

That work was done, and nobly done. We know something of the various incarnations that He took after that, as Bodhisattva of His time, though there may be many more of which we know nothing. He appeared as Vyasa; He came to ancient Egypt as Hermes, the Thrice-Greatest, who was called the Father of All Wisdom; He was the first of the twenty-nine Zoroasters, the Teachers of the Religion of the Fire; still later He walked amongst the Greeks as Orpheus, and taught them by means of music and of song; and finally He took His last birth in the north of India, and wandered up and down the Ganges valley for five and forty years, preaching His Law, and drawing round Himself all those who in previous lives had been His pupils.
