rishi

The 'rishi' gave Hanuman a curse that limited his strength.

Whenever you take an incarnation, You select a 'rishi' to become Your guru.

Though married to a 'rishi' , Ahalya was tricked into a love affair with Indra and cursed by her husband into becoming a slab of stone.

In Indian legend, every 'rishi' , or yogi, who possesses divine power has a retreat in the mountain vastness of the Himalayas.

He observed that a fully developed Hindu should be able to experience at will each of these points of view and consciously live in two, three or more at the same time, as did the 'rishis' of yore.

The hymns are generally grouped according to either the families of 'rishis' who originated them or the gods being celebrated.

Several thousand years ago, the 'rishis' (ancient seers) of India accessed profound knowledge called the knowledge of life or Ayurveda.

All this great knowledge was discovered eons ago by our 'rishis' .

It has been said that ‘the theory is that some one among us, our great 'rishis' , had attained such spiritual heights that they could be in direct communion with God’.

One version has it that when disease, in the form of fever, first made its presence known on earth, the 'rishis' of the time gathered together and sent Bharadwaj to the devas to get the knowledge to combat it.

Our great 'rishis' from ancient times have given various exercises to control the body.
