Who are SaptaRishis
The Saptarishis is revered in Hinduism as the seven great sages. It is said that Adiyogi (Lord Shiva) taught yoga to the saptarishis so they could pass along the knowledge and tradition to humanity.
A Brahmarshi is a sage who has attained enlightenment and became a Jivanmukta by completely understanding the meaning of Brahman and has attained the highest divine, infinite, and self-knowledge called Brahmajnana which means they have completely understood the meaning of Brahman.
Saptarishis are the seven mind-born sons of Lord Brahma who live for a period known as a Manvantara (306,720,000 Earth Years). They serve as representatives of Brahma, and at the end of a Manvantara, the universe gets destroyed. Saptarishi merges with God, and the task of filling the Earth is given to the newly appointed Saptarishi.
“Kaśyapa, Atri, Vasiṣṭha, Viśvāmitra, Gautama, Jamadagni &Bharadvāja are known as the seven sages.”
These Saptarishi are so powerful that they can defeat every weapon on earth, can forecast the future, and are not influenced by the circle of life and death.
In ancient Indian astronomy, the constellation of the Big Dipper is called saptarishi,with the seven stars representing seven rishis. Please note that The Ursa Major, Big Bear and Saptarishi are one and the same.
