Namaste to All,
"*There is a legend which states that when the four brahma-rishis Sanaka,
> Sanandana, Sanatana, Sanatkumara who are collectively called as ‘kumaras’,
> emerged from Brahma as his mind born sons; they didn’t show interest in
> becoming prajapati and helping Brahma in further creating by procreating
> offsprings. They were constantly in search of brahma-gyanam. They were
> looking for a preceptor capable of dispelling their all doubts. While being

> number of these sages vary in various agamas. These four kumaras gravitated

> Soon they got absorbed into the supreme silence of Dakshinamurty and all
> their queries related to Brahman got resolved.*"

*“And just as the sound of a metal utensil – or of a gong dies in silence –
so he, who seeks the All lets the OM sound fade away in silence. For that
wherein the sound fades away is the Brahman, the higher. Yea, the whole
sound is Brahman and conduces to immortality”.*Best Regards,
