Sanat Kumara and Lady Master Venus/es

Sanat Kumara

Sanat Kumara es conocido como el Anciano de Días. Es el Gran Gurú de la progenie de Cristo en todo el cosmos, jerarca de Venus y uno de los siete santos Kumaras (Señores de la Llama que representan los siete rayos en Venus). Él nos inicia en el sendero del rayo rubí, que él mismo expone en su libro La apertura del séptimo sello.

Sanat Kumara ha ocupado el puesto jerárquico de Señor del Mundo desde los tiempos más oscuros en la historia de la Tierra, cuando sus evoluciones habrían caído hasta el nivel de los hombres de las cavernas y habían perdido el contacto con la llama Divina y la poderosa Presencia YO SOY. Cuando la Tierra estaba a punto de ser disuelta porque no había nadie que mantuviera viva la llama de la conciencia Crística, Sanat Kumara vino a la Tierra, en exilio voluntario desde su planeta, Venus, para guardar la llama, hasta que hubiera un número suficiente de personas que respondieran y comenzaran a mantener de nuevo el foco por sus hermanos y hermanas. Ciento cuarenta y cuatro mil almas se ofrecieron para ayudar a Sanat Kumara en su misión, y le acompañaron con legiones de ángeles.

Su venida a la Tierra

Sanat Kuamara describe así este trascendental acontecimiento en la historia cósmica:

Me llamáis Sanat Kumara, y me conocéis como aquél que estuvo ante el consejo cósmico conocido como el Consejo de los Ciento Cuarenta y Cuatro. Me conocéis porque fuisteis testigos de mi súplica hecha por las evoluciones de la Tierra y en su nombre, que ya no conocían la presencia del Cordero, que por desobediencia fueron apartadas del Gurú vivo. Me conocéis como quien se ofreció para encarnar la llama trina en la Tierra para las evoluciones que evolucionan en los siete planos del ser, fuego, aire, agua y tierra.

El Consejo Cósmico había decretado la disolución de la Tierra y sus evoluciones porque las almas de sus hijos ya no adoraban la Trinidad en la llama trina de la vida que arde en el altar del corazón. Se habían convertido en ovejas descarriadas. Con su atención fijada en la manifestación exterior, habían abandonado voluntaria e ignorantemente el caminar interior con Dios...

Así, la luz de los templos se había apagado y el propósito para el cual Dios había creado al hombre, ser el templo de Dios vivo, había dejado de cumplirse. Todos eran muertos vivientes, recipientes de Materia sin una luz que les diera alma, cascarones vacíos. En ninguna parte de la Tierra había una escuela de misterios; ningún chela, ningún gurú, ningún iniciado del sendero de iniciación hacia la Cristeidad.

La hora del juicio había llegado y el que se sienta en el trono, en el centro de las doce veces doce jerarquías de luz, había pronunciado la palabra que era el consenso unánime de todos: que la Tierra y sus evoluciones sean enrolladas como un pergamino y encendidas como una vela del fuego sagrado. Que todas las energías mal cualificadas sean devueltas al Gran Sol Central para ser repolarizadas. Que la energía mal utilizada sea realineada y recargada con la luz de Alfa y Omega, para una vez más ser realineada y recargada con la luz de Alfa y Omega, para una vez más ser infundida por el Creador en la incesante creación, por los siglos de los siglos.

¿El requisito de la ley para salvar la Tierra? Era que alguien cualificado para ser el Gurú encarnado, el Cordero, estuviera presente en la octava física para sostener el equilibrio y para guardar la llama trina de la vida, por y en nombre de toda alma viva. La ley del Uno dice que la meditación de éste sobre el Christos Eterno puede contar para la mayoría hasta que esa mayoría se vuelva responsable de sus palabras y sus obras y pueda empezar a llevar la carga de su luz así como el karma de su bien y mal relativos.

Yo elegí ser ese ser. Me ofrecí para ser un llameante hijo de la justicia para la Tierra y sus evoluciones.

Tras una considerable deliberación, el Consejo Cósmico y el Ser Sin Nombre dieron su aprobación a mi petición y la dispensación de un nuevo plan divino para la Tierra y sus evoluciones nació...

Así me arrodillé ante el gran trono blanco del Ser Sin Nombre, y él me dijo: "Hijo mío, Sanat Kumara, tú te sentarás en el gran trono blanco ante las evoluciones de la Tierra. Serás para ellas el SEÑOR Dios en las alturas. En verdad, serás la más alta manifestación de la Deidad que se les dará, hasta que, a través del sendero de iniciación, sus almas se eleven hasta tu trono de conciencia y estén ante ti alabando el YO SOY EL QUE YO SOY que tú eres. Ese día, cuando se levanten y digan, 'al que está sentado en el trono, y al Cordero, sea la alabanza, la honra, la gloria y el poder, por los siglos de los siglos', mira, su redención se acercará".

Y me dijo: "Por tanto, para las evoluciones de la Tierra serás Alfa y Omega, el principio y el fin, dice el YO SOY EL QUE YO SOY, que es, que era y que ha de venir, el Todopoderoso". Y colocó sobre mi su manto patrocinador del Padre hacia el Hijo, que en mi se convertiría en su patrocinio hacia una oleada de vida que ahora yo asumía como propia. Era un voto de confianza. Era la iniciación del Padre en el Hijo...

Y el Consejo de los Ciento Cuarenta y Cuatro, formando un único anillo solar alrededor del gran trono blanco, entonó la Palabra con los grandes seres de luz, formando el círculo interno alrededor del trono y diciendo, "Santo, santo, santo, SEÑOR Dios Todpoderoso, el que era, el que es y el que ha de venir". Y oí el eco de su cántico "santo, santo, santo" durante todo el camino de vuelta hacia la estrella matutina, hacia mi llama gemela, a quién conocéis como Venus, y hacia los hijos y las hijas de la Estrella de Amor.

Alados mensajeros de luz habían anunciado mi venida, del Consejo Cósmico y la disposición concedida. Los seis, mis hermanos, los Santos Kumaras, que sostienen conmigo las siete llamas de los siete rayos, el Poderoso Victory y sus legiones, nuestra hija Meta, y muchos siervos hijos e hijas de Dios a quienes hoy conocéis como los maestros ascendidos, me dieron la bienvenida con una gran recepción. Aquella noche, la alegría de la oportunidad se mezcló con la tristeza que trae el sentimiento de separación. Había elegido un exilio voluntario en una estrella oscura, y aunque estaba destinada a ser la Estrella de la Libertad, todos sabían que sería para mí una larga noche oscura del alma.

Then all at once from the valleys and the mountains there appeared a great gathering of my children. It was the souls of the hundred and forty and four thousand approaching our palace of light. They spiraled nearer and nearer as twelve companies singing the song of freedom, of love and of victory. Their mighty chorusing echoed throughout elemental life, and angelic choirs hovered nigh. As we watched from the balcony, Venus and I, we saw the thirteenth company robed in white. It was the royal priesthood of the Order of the Melchizedek, the anointed ones who kept the flame and the Law in the center of this hierarchical unit.

When all of their numbers had assembled, ring upon ring upon ring surrounding our home, and their hymn of praise and adoration to me was concluded, their spokesman stood before the balcony to address us on behalf of the great multitude. It was the soul of the one you know and love today as the Lord of the World, Gautama Buddha. And he addressed us, saying, “O Ancient of Days, we have heard of the covenant that God hath made with thee this day and of thy commitment to keep the flame of life until some among earth’s evolutions should be quickened and once again renew their vow to be bearers of the flame. O Ancient of Days, thou art to us our Guru, our very life, our God. We will not leave thee comfortless. We will go with thee. We will not leave thee for one moment without the ring upon ring of our chelaship. We will come to earth. We will prepare the way. We will keep the flame in thy name.”

And so as the LORD 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.

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.

Building Shamballa

Thus, when Sanat Kumara came from Venus to make the earth his temporary home, he was accompanied by a retinue of many great beings of light, including his daughter (the lady master Meta) and three of the seven holy Kumaras. The four hundred who formed the avant-garde were sent ahead to earth to build the magnificent retreat of Shamballa on an island in the Gobi Sea (where the Gobi Desert now is). Alchemists and scientists came also at that time, one hundred forty-four of these focusing the one hundred forty-four flames of the elements. Together they composed a replica of the diamond that is in the Great Hub, a focus of the diamond-shining mind of God.

On the White Island in the Gobi Sea, they built the City of White, patterned after the city of the Kumaras on Venus. Sanat Kumara established the focus of the threefold flame in the retreat at Shamballa, which remained in the physical for many centuries. Sanat Kumara resided in this physical retreat, but he did not take on a physical body such as the bodies we wear today—it was in the Matter universe, yet highly etheric. Later it became expedient for its protection that Shamballa, this wondrous retreat that was in the physical octave, be withdrawn to the etheric octave. The etheric focus remains as an exact replica of what was once the physical retreat. The beautiful azure sea with the White Island in the center is now the Gobi desert.

Sanat Kumara’s mission on Earth

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 log 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 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.

Until this change in office, Sanat Kumara released tremendous light to the planet each year at the Wesak Festival during the full moon in Taurus. His radiation was anchored through his disciples, Lord Gautama Buddha, Lord Maitreya and the one who currently holds the office of the Maha Chohan. These three anchored the focus of the threefold flame from the heart of Sanat Kumara on behalf of the Lord of the World. They were the step-down transformers for his intense radiation.

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.

Zoroastrianism

The ascended masters teach that the supreme God of Zoroastrianism, Ahura Mazda, is Sanat Kumara. Ahura Mazda means “Wise Lord” or “Lord who bestows intelligence.” He represents the principle of Good and is the guardian of mankind and the opponent of the Evil principle.

Sometime between 1700 and 600 B.C. Zarathustra founded Zoroastrianism in ancient Persia. One morning when he went to fetch water in a river, he beheld a luminous being who led him to Ahura Mazda and five other radiant figures. So great was their light that “he did not see his own shadow upon the earth.” From this group of beings he received his first revelation of a new religion. Shortly afterward, Zarathustra became a spokesman for Ahura Mazda.

Dipamkara

After the withdrawal of Shamballa to the etheric octave, Sanat Kumara embodied as Dipamkara, the Lamp-Lighting Buddha. (The Sanskrit word Dipamkara means “kindler of lights” or “the luminous.”) In Buddhist tradition, Dipamkara is a legendary Buddha who lived long, long ago, the first of twenty-four Buddhas who preceded Gautama Buddha. Dipamkara prophesied that the ascetic Sumedha would become the future Buddha Gautama.

Buddhists consider Dipamkara, Gautama Buddha and Lord Maitreya to be the “Buddhas of the three times”—past, present and future. We can understand this to mean that Dipamkara is the past Lord of the World, Gautama Buddha is the present Lord of the World and Maitreya will be the future Lord of the World.

The Ancient of Days

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.”

Christianity

The prophet Daniel recorded his vision of Sanat Kumara, whom he called “the Ancient of Days.” Daniel writes:

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.

Sanat Kumara is also seen in the Book of Revelation as the one who sits upon the great white throne:

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.

Lady Master Venus

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:

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.

Return to earth

On July 4, 1977, Sanat Kumara said:

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....

I place my body as a living altar in the midst of the people Israel, 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.

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.

In a dictation given July 4, 1978, Sanat Kumara told us he was manifesting that night in the physical spectrum “and I am anchoring in this very earth plane the full weight and momentum of my office as the Ancient of Days, such as I have not done since our coming to the Place Prepared at Shamballa.”

Keynote

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.
