The First Avatars of Wisdom and Detachment

Introduction : Sanaka, Sanandana, Sanatana, and Sanatkumara, the mind-born sons of Brahma, remain forever in the form of five-year-old boys. They symbolise celibacy, self-knowledge, and renunciation.

Story : Once the four Kumaras went to Vaikuntha to have darshan of Lord Vishnu. At the gate, Jaya and Vijaya mistook them for children and stopped them. Angered, the sages cursed the two gatekeepers to be born three times as demons. Because of this curse, Jaya and Vijaya later took birth as Hiranyaksha and Hiranyakashipu, Ravana and Kumbhakarna, and Shishupala and Dantavakra.

Message : True knowledge comes through humility and detachment.
