The Master Teacher from Venus, Sanat Kumara was Shamballa's first leader and his spiritual teacings inspired volunteers to build the first perfect city nine hundred years before his arrival. His establishment of the three-fold flame is the cohesive action for the Earth, and a thread of light from it connects with the Flame in the heart of every individual. It is this action that has sustained each one through the centuries.

Sanat Kumara figures in several roles in the religious traditions of the East. Each one reveals another facet of his Divine Self. In each role, he teaches us something different about God and about our path to God.

The Sanskrit name Sanat Kumara means always a youth. Ascended Master Sanat Kumara is called The Ancient of Days and the youth of endless summers. From Venus he has assisted Earth and humanity from the lighter realms perhaps longer than any other Master, millions of years!

Master Sanat Kumara's vibration is so high that he has never incarnated into a physical body here on Earth. In 1995, Sanat Kumara moved up from Planetary Logos, or Lord of the World, to a position in the Spiritual Hierarchy where he now guides two other planets in addition to our planet. The Ascended Master Buddha has replaced Sanat Kumara as Planetary Logos.

Master Sanat Kumara has been the overseer of Earth's development for the last 18 million years. His Light is brighter than the sun's light, and he has been unstinting in his service to mankind, to God and to all of existence. It is difficult for us, as 3rd dimensional beings, to fathom the strength, power, love and wisdom of this Divine Being. He is responsible for receiving, stepping-down and transmitting God's energy to us in a form that we can handle.
