Margaret and James Stutley write in ''Harper’s Dictionary of Hinduism'' that Skanda was born when Shiva, who, “having attained complete mastery of his instincts, applied his sexual energy to spiritual and intellectual ends.”<ref>''Harper’s Dictionary of Hinduism'', p. 282 n. 3.</ref> This is illustrated in the many legends that tell of Karttikeya being born motherless and from the seed of Shiva that fell into the Ganges.

[[Helena Blavatsky]], in ''The Secret Doctrine,'' calls Sanat Kumara the “Great Sacrifice,” because he had exiled himself from the realm of light for the sake of souls stranded in the lower realms. She writes:
</div> 
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
<blockquote>
Sitting at the Threshold of Light, he looks into it from within the Circle of Darkness, which he will not cross; nor will he quit his post till the last Day of this Life-Cycle. Why does the Solitary Watcher remain at his self-chosen post?... Because the lonely sore-footed Pilgrims, on their journey back to their Home, are never sure, to the last moment, of not losing their way, in this limitless desert of Illusion and Matter called Earth-Life. Because he would fain show the way to that region of freedom and light, from which he is a voluntary exile himself, to every prisoner who has succeeded in liberating himself from the bonds of flesh and illusion. Because, in short, he has sacrificed himself for the sake of Mankind, though but a few elect may profit by the Great Sacrifice.

It is under the direct, silent guidance of this Maha-Guru that all the other less divine Teachers and Instructors of mankind became, from the first awakening of human consciousness, the guides of early Humanity. It is through these “Sons of God” that infant Humanity learned its first notions of all the arts and sciences, as well as of spiritual knowledge; and it is they who laid the first foundation-stone of those ancient civilizations that so sorely puzzle our modern generation of students and scholars.<ref>Blavatsky, quoted in Charles W. Leadbeater, ''The Masters and the Path,'' p. 299.</ref>

In his book ''The Masters and the Path,'' C. W. Leadbeater (who was writing at a time when Sanat Kumara still occupied the office of Lord of the World) describes Sanat Kumara.
</div>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
<blockquote>
Our world is governed by a spiritual King—one of the Lords of the Flame who came long ago from Venus. He is called by the Hindus Sanat Kumara, the last word being a title, meaning Prince or Ruler. Other names given to him are the One Initiator, the One without a Second, the Eternal Youth of sixteen summers; and often we speak of him as the Lord of the World. He is the Supreme Ruler; in his hand and within his actual aura, lies the whole of his planet. He represents the Logos, as far as this world is concerned, and directs the whole of its evolution—not that of humanity alone, but also the evolution of the [[Deva]]s, the [[elemental|nature-spirits]], and all other creatures connected with the earth....
</div>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
In his mind he holds the whole plan of evolution at some high level of which we know nothing. He is the Force which drives the whole world-machine, the embodiment of the Divine Will on this planet, and strength, courage, decision, perseverance and all similar characteristics, when they show themselves down here in the lives of men, are reflections from him. His consciousness is of so extended a nature that it comprehends at once all the life on our globe. In his hands are the powers of cyclic destruction, for he wields [[Fohat]] in its higher forms and can deal directly with cosmic forces outside our chain....
</div>
<div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr">
At a certain point in the progress of an aspirant on the Path he is formally presented to the Lord of the World, and those who have thus met him face to face speak of him as in appearance a handsome youth, dignified, benignant beyond all description, yet with a mien of omniscient, inscrutable majesty, conveying such a sense of resistless power that some have found themselves unable to bear his gaze, and have veiled their faces in awe.... One who has had this experience can never forget it, nor can he ever thereafter doubt that, however terrible the sin and sorrow on earth may be, all things are somehow working together for the eventual good of all, and humanity is being steadily guided towards its final goal.<ref>Leadbeater, ''The Masters and the Path,'' p. 296.</ref>
