Kumars | सनकादि
The Four Kumars (Devanagari: कुमार; ISO 15919: kumāra) refer to the four brothers: Sanak, Sanandan, Sanatan, and Sanat.
Collectively, they are also known as Sanakadi (Devanagari: सनकादि; ISO 15919: sanakādi), meaning "Sanak and the others."
Their Birth They manifested from the mind (Manas) of Creator Brahma while he was contemplating the act of creation. Consequently, they are termed Manas Putra (mind-born sons).
They are incarnations (avatar) of the Supreme Lord. Although born at the very beginning of creation, they remain eternally in the form of five-year-old children. They possess the spiritual power to travel instantly to any realm, including Brahmaloka and Baikunth Lok.
