Profile

Origin

Sanat Kumara, also written as Sanatkumara, is one of the four Kumaras from Hindu mythology that serve and are children of Brahma. They appear as young boys and travel the world to teach enlightenment. Sanat Kumara means "eternal youth" and has also received the names Ancient of Days and Karttikeya. Due to his association with the planet Venus, connections have been made between him and Lucifer within Abrahamic religions.^{[citation needed]}

Sanat Kumara was adopted as a figure in Theosophy, a movement founded in the 19th century by Helena Blavatsky, and Sanat's depiction in Shin Megami Tensei IV appears to be heavily influenced by this.

Design

Sanat was designed by guest artist Tamotsu Shinohara for Shin Megami Tensei IV. Shinohara intended for Sanat to contrast with the Ancient of Days, resulting in the design being asymmetrical as well as being an amalgamation of religious cultures.
