In Sanskrit means “Holy Youth(s),” but is used in theosophy and Indian writings to denote various great beings in the spiritual hierarchy.
1. The four Great Beings forming the highest in the spiritual hierarchy who help the evolution of humanity.
2. One of the seven divisions of DHYANI-CHOHANS.
3. The AGNISHVATTAS, that is, those having cosmic self-consciousness within the Buddhic world.
4. “The Four Kumaras;” the name given in The Lives of Alcyone to four of the “Lords of the Flame.”
Helena P. BLAVATSKY In The Secret Doctrine, discussing the Kum€ras, wrote that they “. . . may indeed mark a ‘special’ or extra creation, since it is they who, by incarnating themselves within the senseless human shells of the two first Root-races, and a great portion of the Third Root-race — create, so to speak, a new race: that of thinking, self-conscious and divine men” (Vol. I, p. 457 fn).
