Who are Saptarishis? #Thread https://t.co/2OJsftYDat
The Saptarishis, or Seven Holy Sages, were tasked with guiding humanity through the Four Great Ages. To keep the balance on Earth, these seven sages collaborated closely with the Adi Yogi or Shiva.
These seven Rishis were Lord Brahma's mind-born sons who were tasked with acting as Brahma's emissary.
Rank of Brahmarishi
Because they have attained complete knowledge of Brahman, the Saptarishis are also known as Brahmarishis.
Vishwamitra is the first sage in the history of ancient sciences who was selected as a Saptarishi by Brahma only based on his merit, as one cannot become a Brahmarishi solely on merit. For tens of thousands of years, Vishwamitra sat in meditation and practiced austerities.
Rishi Vishwamitra
He is credited with writing most of the Mandala 3 of the Rigveda, as well as Gayatri Mantra. Rishi Vishwamitra was a brave warrior who was born as a Chandravanshi Prince, the son of King Kusha.
However, as a result of his tremendous dedication to the Universe, he later performed penance and was awarded a position among the Saptarishi.
Rishi Vashishtha
Vashishtha, a revered Vedic elder in Hinduism, is acknowledged as the principal author of the Rigveda's 7th Mandala, and his family is also mentioned in the Rigveda.
His thoughts were so powerful that Adi Shankaracharya coined the term "first Sage of the Vedanta School of Philosophy."
Rishi Atri
Atri was a Vedic scholar who is credited with writing several hymns in Hinduism dedicated to Lord Agni, Lord Indra, and other Vedic deities.
In his honor, a whole mandala, the fifth mandala of the Rigveda, is named Atri Mandala, and eighty-seven songs are dedicated just to him and his dependents.
Gautama Maharishi
He is credited with discovering Mantras as one of the Vedic System's Maharishis. His name is mentioned in various Suktas in the Rigveda. Many hymns in the Mandala are attributed to Gautama Maharishi. He was the Gautama gotra's progenitor.
Jamadagni
Jamadagni is the Saptarishi of the current Manavatra - Vaivastava. He is the father of Parashurama, Vishnu's sixth incarnation. The God of Creation's descendent of Rishi Bhrigu, one of the Prajapatis created by Brahma.
Without any official schooling, Jamadagni was well-versed in the art of weaponry and texts. Lord Shiva manifested himself as Jamadagni.
Rishi Bharadvaja
Bharadvaja Barhaspatya is one of Hinduism's most respected Vedic sages. Sage Brihaspati, his father, is the source of his surname.
Bharadvaja is referenced four times in the Rigveda and twice in the Shatpatha Brahamana. In the Puranas and Mahabharata, he is a revered sage.
Rishi Kashyapa
Rishi Kashyapa is the oldest rishi mentioned in the colophon verse of the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad and is known as the Atharvaveda's self-made scholar.
He was based in the Indian subcontinent's northwestern regions, and legend has it that he is responsible for the name Kashmir.
The role of Saptarishis
The Saptarishis are seven immortal human forms who will live through the many Manavataras that this Earth Cycle's Great Ages will witness. These seven great sages are tasked with bringing humanity to its full potential and enlightening the entire globe.
