Digest Number 134

[Guest guest]

as i understand it

 

brahmarishi is the highest order of rishi -- it is the

stage of rishi"ness" in which they are equivalent to

brahma himself.

 

Vasishta maharshi is an example of another

brahmarishi. Although one can be born as "Brahmarishi"

I believe others such as Visvamitra maharishi attained

Brahmarishi status by penance/tapana/sadhana.

 

Swamiji is a brahmarishi.

 

and actually, the spelling is correct I believe,

because it is said as a single word and sounds as it

is spelled.

 

jai guru datta!
