Sanatkumara Channel
KumariDevi (Paula Muran) is the chosen purveyor of the spiritual teachings of the deity Sanatkumara, and emerges as a transformative force bridging the celestial realm and Earth. Her deep spiritual connection with Sanatkumara, the Hindu Deity, has bestowed upon her the revered title of “Bodhisattva,” signifying her role as a compassionate guide who remains behind after enlightenment to assist others on their spiritual path.
She first encountered Kumara’s energy in Los Angeles as a young adult. It was an evolutionary time in spirituality, with the onset of channeling and new-age philosophies. During a channeling class, the room became very still, and everyone felt a massively loving energy enter the room. KumariDevi began channeling in an ancient dialect with her hands unfolding in sacred mudras. She learned later this wasn’t the first time Kumara’s energy came to her. Kumara came to her as a child and guided her throughout her life.
