'''Sanat Kumara ''' is known as the '''Ancient of Days'''. He is the Great Guru of the seed of Christ throughout cosmos, hierarch of [[Venus (the planet)|Venus]] and one of the [[seven holy Kumaras]] (Lords of Flame who represent the seven rays on [[Venus (the planet)|Venus]]). He initiates us on the path of the [[ruby ray]], which he sets forth in his book ''The Opening of the Seventh Seal''.
He has held the hierarchical position of the [[Lord of the World]] since the darkest hours of earth's history when her evolutions fell to the level of cavemen and lost contact with the God flame and the mighty [[I AM Presence]]. When the earth was at the point of being dissolved because there was no one who was keeping the flame of the Christ consciousness alive, Sanat Kumara came to earth, a voluntary exile from his planet Venus, to keep the flame until sufficient numbers among mankind would respond and begin once again to maintain the focus on behalf of their brothers and sisters. One hundred and forty-four thousand souls volunteered to assist Sanat Kumara in his mission and accompany him with legions of angels.
Sanat Kumara describes this momentous event in cosmic history:
<blockquote>You call me Sanat Kumara, and you know me as the one who stood before the cosmic council known as the Council of the One Hundred and Forty and Four. You know me because you were witnesses to my plea made for and on behalf of the evolutions of earth who no longer knew the presence of the Lamb, who by disobedience were cut off from the living Guru. You know me as the one who volunteered to embody the [[threefold flame ]] within the earth unto the evolutions evolving within the seven planes of being—fire, air, water and earth.</blockquote>
<blockquote>The Cosmic Council had decreed the dissolution of earth and her evolutions because the souls of her children no longer worshiped the Trinity in the threefold flame of life burning upon the altar of the heart. They had become the sheep gone astray. Their attention fixed upon the outer manifestation, they had willfully, ignorantly abandoned the inner walk with God....</blockquote>
<blockquote>Thus the light of the temples had gone out, and the purpose to which God had created man—to be the temple of the living God—was no longer being fulfilled. One and all were the living dead, a Matter vessel without an ensouling light, an empty shell. Nowhere on earth was there a [[mystery school—not school]]—not a [[chela]], not a guru, no initiates of the path of initiation unto Christhood.</blockquote>
<blockquote>The hour of the judgment had come, and the one seated upon the throne in the center of the twelve times twelve hierarchies of light had pronounced the word that was the unanimous consensus of all: Let earth and her evolutions be rolled up as a scroll and lit as a taper of the sacred fire. Let all energies misqualified be returned to the [[Great Central Sun ]] for repolarization. Let energy misused be realigned and recharged with the light of Alpha and Omega, once again to be infused by the Creator within the ongoing creation of worlds without end.</blockquote>
<blockquote>The requirement of the Law for the saving of Terra? It was that one who should qualify as the embodied Guru, the Lamb, should be present in the physical octave to hold the balance and to keep the [[threefold flame]] of life for and on behalf of every living soul. It is the Law of the One that the meditation of the one upon the Eternal Christos may count for the many until the many once again become accountable for their words and their works and can begin to bear the burden of their light as well as the karma of their relative good and evil.</blockquote>
<blockquote>I chose to be that one. I volunteered to be a flaming son of righteousness unto earth and her evolutions.</blockquote>
<blockquote>After considerable deliberation, the Cosmic Council and the Nameless One gave their approval of my petition, and the [[dispensation ]] for a new divine plan for earth and her evolutions came into being.... </blockquote>
<blockquote>Thus I knelt before the great white throne of the Nameless One and he said unto me, "My son, Sanat Kumara, thou shalt sit upon the great white throne before the evolutions of earth. Thou shalt be to them the L<small>ORD</small> God in the highest. Verily, thou shalt be the highest manifestation of the Deity that shall be given unto them until, through the path of initiation, their souls shall rise to thy throne of awareness and stand before thee in praise of the I AM THAT I AM which thou art. In that day when they shall rise up and say, 'Blessing and honour and glory and power be unto him that sitteth upon the throne and unto the Lamb for ever and ever'—behold, their redemption draweth nigh."</blockquote>
<blockquote>And so as the L<small>ORD</small> God directed me, I chose from among them four hundred servant sons and daughters who would precede the hundred and forty and four thousand to prepare for their coming. For though they knew the darkness of the darkest star, in reality they did not know, as I knew, the real meaning of the sacrifice that they now were offering to make in the name of their Guru.</blockquote>
<blockquote>We wept in joy, Venus and I and all of the hundred and forty and four thousand. And the tears that flowed on that memorable evening burned as the living sacred fire flowing as the water of life from the great white throne and the Cosmic Council, our sponsors.<ref>{{OSS}}, pp. 11–15.</ref></blockquote>
=== Building Shamballa ===
Sanat Kumara anchored a ray of light from his heart as a thread of contact with each one evolving on the planet Earth, nourishing and sustaining that flame and assisting the Holy Christ Self to quicken the Christ consciousness. Without that assistance, mankind en masse would have gone through the second death, and the planet would have been destroyed.
The ancient custom of the [[Yule Loglog]] has come down to us from the service rendered by Sanat Kumara who, each year, consecrated a focus of the sacred fire in the physical octaves. It became tradition for the people to come across many miles to take home a piece of the Yule Log log and to use it to light their fires through the coming twelve-month cycle. Thus, a focus of his physical flame was tangibly manifest in the dwelling places of the people of the earth, enabling them to have actual physical contact with a focus of the Lord of the World in their midst.
Sanat Kumara's mission was completed on January 1, 1956, when his most capable disciple Gautama Buddha was awarded the position of Lord of the World, having enough momentum to hold the balance for the planet and the focus of the threefold flame. Sanat Kumara then became Regent of the World, and in that capacity he continues to assist earth's evolutions from his home on Venus.
== Sanat Kumara in the world's religions ==
Sanat Kumara also figures in several roles in the religious traditions of the East. Each one reveals another facet of his Divine Self. He is revered in Hinduism as one of the four or seven sons of [[Brahma]]. They are portrayed as youths who have remained pure. The Sanskrit name Sanat Kumara means "always a youth." He is the most prominent of the Kumaras.

=== Hinduism ===
In Hinduism, Sanat Kumara is sometimes called '''Skanda''', or '''[[Karttikeya]]''' the son of [[Shiva ]] and Parvati. Karttikeya is the god of war and commander-in-chief of the divine army of the gods. He was born specifically to slay Táraka, the demon who symbolizes ignorance, or the lower mind. Karttikeya is often depicted holding a spear, representing illumination. He uses the spear to slay ignorance. In Hinduism, stories of war are often used as allegories for the internal struggles of the soul.
Skanda-Karttikeya, as he is sometimes called, is also acclaimed as the god of wisdom and learning. He is said to bestow spiritual powers upon his devotees, especially the power of knowledge. In the Hindu mystic tradition, Karttikeya is known as Guha, which means "cave" or Secret One, because he lives in the cave of your heart. Hindu scriptures also depict Sanat Kumara is the "foremost of sages" and a knower of Brahman.
=== Buddhism ===
In Buddhism, there is a great god known as '''Brahma Sanam-kumara'''. His name also means "forever a youth." Brahma Sanam-kumara is a being so elevated that he must create an apparition body in order to be seen by the gods of the heaven of the Thirty-Three. Sakka, the ruler of the gods, describes his appearance: "He outshines other devas in radiance and glory, just as a figure made of gold outshines the human figure." <ref>Maurice Walsh, trans., ''Thus Have I Heard: The Long Discourses of the Buddha Digha Nikaya'' (London: Wisdom Publications, 1987), pp. 295–96.</ref>
=== The Ancient of Days Christianity ===
The prophet Daniel also recorded his vision of Sanat Kumara, whom he called "the "'''the Ancient of Days'''." Daniel writes:
<blockquote>I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels [chakras] as burning fire.<ref>Dan. 7:9.</ref></blockquote> Sanat Kumara is also seen in the [[Book of Revelation]] as '''the one who sits upon the great white throne''': <blockquote>And I saw a great white throne and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.<ref>Rev. 20:11. See {{OSS}}, p. 13.</ref></blockquote>
== Lady Master Venus ==
[[File:0000154 poster-lady-master-venus-2007 600.jpeg|thumb|Lady Master Venus]]
Sanat Kumara's twin flame is '''Lady Master Venus'''. During his long exile on planet Earth, she remained on their home planet to keep the flame there. Some years after Sanat Kumara's return in 1956, Lady Venus herself came to earth to assist her evolutions. In a dictation delivered on May 25, 1975, she announced that as Sanat Kumara had kept the flame for earth, now she had come to "tarry for a time on Terra" to "dedicate anew the fires of the Mother." She said, :
<blockquote>I release a fiery momentum of consciousness to arrest all spirals that would take from humanity the fullness of their divinity.... See how mankind respond to the flame of the Mother as they responded to the light of Sanat Kumara.</blockquote>
<blockquote>The Cosmic Council and the Lords of Karma have granted and decreed that I might be allowed to tarry on earth, in earth, for certain cycles of manifestation for the absolute return of freedom into the hearts of the lightbearers of earth....</blockquote>
<blockquote>I place my body as a living altar in the midst of the people Israel,<ref>The term ''Israel '' applies to the collective body of the bearers of the Christic seed and Christ consciousness who have descended from Sanat Kumara and not exclusively to the Jewish people. The ascended masters teach that those who are of the I AM THAT I AM have embodied in all races, kindreds and nations. The term ''Israelite '' means, esoterically, "he who Is Real in the mighty I AM Presence." In Hebrew, ''Israel'' means "he will rule as God" or "prevailing with God."</ref> and in that body temple is the original blueprint, the [soul] design for every son and daughter of God and the children of God who have come forth. For it is the desire of the Cosmic Virgin that none of her children should be lost, none of her sons and daughters.</blockquote>
<blockquote>And thus I join the Lady Master Venus, who has been tarrying with you these many months; and we together, focusing our twin flames in the Holy City, will stand for the triumph of that community of the Holy Spirit that must be manifest as the key to the release of light in this age.</blockquote>
The strains of Sanat Kumara's keynote were captured by Jan Sibelius in ''Finlandia''. So powerful is the release of the flame of freedom through this music, that during the Nazi occupation, its playing was forbidden lest it arouse the fervor of the people for freedom.
