Saptrishi- 7 sages from ancient India who were super learned with the ocean of knowledge and blessed with heavenly powers. They possessed the mastery of Astras(weapon mastery) and each Saptrishi represents a Tatva ( basic elements like spirit, fire, water, stone, nature, sky and air).

There is a deep connection between 7 holy sages-Saptrishi and Kailash Mansarovar in Himalayan range as Mt.Kailash is considered as Axis Mundi or center point for the creation of the Universe. All basis elements that formed the universe is made up 7 key tatvas or elements which each Saptrishi represents water, air, nature, sky, fire, spirit and stone so it wise to pay regards to these 7 sages found at Saptrishi caves at the south face of Mt.Kailash.

It is believed that Saptrishi teleported themselves to Mt.Meru and opened the gates of Yamloka to find a way to decimate demon king Kalkambha turned themselves into a Sapt-Eka The seven who are One united and formed Bhramastra -The weapon of mass destruction to kill demon Kalmkambha and thus establish peace and harmony on Earth.

Saptrishis were blessed with superpowers and were able to travel between Lokas and communicate with Devas and Lord Vishnu-Supreme king of 3 lokas.

A story about Asur named “Kalkambha”-Asur Samrat of Narak(hell) and sage Vanaka

Kalkambha wanted to be the supreme leader of 3 lokas and wanted to dethrone Lord Vishnu the supreme king of 3 lokas. One such incident happened while Kalkambha who destroyed the ashram known as Panchavati where Saptrishi used to pass teachings to disciples. Demon Kalkambha came and destroyed the Panchvati ashram and killed all the Acolytes(followers) and invaded the Ashram resulting in the awakening of Saptrishi to save the universe from the wrath of demon “Kalkambha” the battle which was gruesome and hard fought. Finally, the Saptrishi came victorious and saved the Universe and the sacred Ashram-Panchvati and disciples learned the wisdom and knowledge of Vedas at the ashram.

One such sage -Vanaka and slain all his disciples thus committed the heinous crime of “Brahm Hatya” and the curse followed the Asur Kalkambha forever. Saptrishi came together and amalgamated into one and killed Kalkambha finally.

7 Saptrishi are:-
1. Bharadwaja(Tatva Water)
2. Bhrigu (Tatva Stone)
3. Gautama(Tatva Air)
4. Atri(Tatva nature)
5. Kashyapa(Tatva fire)
6. Vishwamitra(Tatva spirit)
7. Vashitha(oldest of all Saptrishi son of Bhrama -The God of creation)
Sacred symbol of Saptrishi-The Sun and Moon image cast into one as a symbol of super powerful and super calm and peaceful MOON.

It is the flame of Bhakti(devotion) that can never be extinguished and will always burn till the end of time Saptrishi made a huge sacrifice to restore peace on Earth and thus are given a special place around Mt.Kailash.
