Guest guest Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 Hi, I have been researching for sometime to know more about Sanat Kumara, one of Brahma's 4 sons, the other 3 being Sanaka, Sanatana, Sananda. My interest began since 4-5 months ago I read the purana of how Sanat Kumara incarnated as Skanda (Subrahmanya). It appears that Sanat Kumara is the predominant deity for various other religions such as Buddhism or Zoroastrianism, when the roots of the evolution of deities is analyzed (as I understood from internet articles). Even Christianity seems have to connections with Sanat Kumara, in the form of Daniel, if I understood it right. Sanat Kumara was described as one of the "Ascended Masters", originating from Venus as documented in these other forms/religions. Does anyone here know more about Sanat Kumara and how the same yogi/muni/godly form is proving to be one and the same among various religions? Has anyone explored further on to the commonality of the traits of Sanat Kumara and what he represents, based on purana? Incidentally it was interested to note that 'Sanaischara' is basically 'Sana' + 'Ischara' and the root word 'Sana' is also prefixed for all Buddhas of Buddhism. Are there more references to the root word 'Sana'? Thanks Jayashree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 || Om Gurave Namah || Dear Jayashree, If you note the four Sanat kumaras are given the lordships for the Chaturthamsa (D4) also. 4th house is for Gati (movement) materially taken for Vahana or Vehicles also. Gati in spiritual sense means what one's soul seek and move towards. This is indicated by these 4 sons of Brahma who are eternal youth bachelors and guide other. It's interesting you were able to find reference to them in other religious text also. For the Shanaishchara I dont think it can be related to Sanata Kumaras. latter one is 'sa' as in Silver etc and the other is 'Sh' as in shiver.

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2004 Report Share Posted September 17, 2004 Sanjay-Pji, Thank-you. I searched the net for descriptions of Chaturthamsa, and it is stated it rules fortunes and conveyances. Mars and Venus are stated to be the karakas of both and hence of primordial importance in Chaturtamsa. There is this connection I came up with, based on your feedback - Sanat Kumara is the hierarch of Venus and Subrahmanya, the representative of Mars, is one of the Kumaras. It looks like the 4th house is to be viewed as a conglomeration of the functionality of the 4 Kumaras thus in bestowing fortune and conveyances at the gross level and spirituality at the subtler level. I have some questions at this point: 1. What other planets in Chaturtamsa are representative of the Kumaras? Since Mars and Venus account to only 2 of the 4. 2. What is the functionality of each kumara, within the higher functionality? Maybe this will tell about the specific qualities of each Kumara. Will keep searching :-), but welcome any further insights. Thanks, Jayashree vedic astrology, sanjay@s... wrote: > || Om Gurave Namah || > Dear Jayashree, > If you note the four Sanat kumaras are given the lordships for the > Chaturthamsa (D4) also. 4th house is for Gati (movement) materially > taken for Vahana or Vehicles also.
