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.
