11th August, 2017
When Satyavati, wife of Rishi Ruchik,
exchanges with her mother the magic potion for bearing a child, they change not
just their children’s destiny, but also the history of mankind. Born of this
mix up is Vishwamitra, the son of a Kshatriya, who strives to become a
Brahmarishi—the ultimate and most powerful of all Gurus.
Vishwamitra is the powerful story of a
brave but stubborn, haughty yet compassionate, visionary king of Aryavarta who
not only acquires material wealth through military conquests but also becomes
one of the most well-known sages of all times.
Top 5 Rishis of all
time:
5. BHRIGU - the father-in-law of none
other than Lord Vishnu! He is famous to have tested the three gods of the Hindu
Trinity to see who’s the most deserving out of them! He is the author of the
famous Bhrigu Samhita also known as 'Laal Kitab' that supposedly contains
information about every human being's past, present and future.
4.
KASHYAP - the father of all species
of life that exist including Devas, Daityas, Danavs, Manavs, Apsaras,
Gandharvs, Nagas, Plants, Animals, Birds, Aquatics and many more! He gives real
meaning to the thought - Vasudhaiv Kutumbakam - the World is my Family.
3.
VISHWAMITRA - an ordinary human who
in spite of being born as a Kshatriya reached the highest levels of
spirituality and became a Brahmarishi at par with Vasishth! He is the discoverer
of the famous Gayatri Mantra, and the creator of an entire constellation!
2. ATRI - another son of Brahma and one of
the oldest rishis to exist. Husband of a very powerful lady Anasuya and the
father of Chandrama, the Hindu Moon-god; Dattatreya, the combined Avatar of
Brahma, Vishnu & Shiva; and the angry rishi Durvasa.
1. VASISHTH - the son of Brahma the
creator-god is number one on the list. He is the original Brahmarishi whom
Indra gifted the Divine Cow Nandini. He was the Kulguru of Suryavanshis or the
Solar Dynasty of kings in ancient India and mentored many famous kings like
Divodas, Harishchandra and Shri Rama.
