Guest guest Posted June 21, 1999 Report Share Posted June 21, 1999 We have a question that may be answered by some of the scholars on our list. Can you kindly reply via the maillist - I too am keen to know more about Saptarishi as Sri Ramakrishna called Vivekananda one of the Saptarishis (seven sages). jay Question: In an area where I find paucity, I'm looking for any quality studies that get as close as possible to who and what certain ancient Indian sages actually were or well might have been. For my study on nadisastra of different traditions, in different parts of India, I require as much information as I can get on the Sapta Rishis - the seven Rishis of Vedic times, sometimes called Saptarsi - Gautama, Bharadwaja, Vishwamitra, Jamadagni, Vasishta, Kasyapa, Atri; who also, in Astronomy, correspond to the constellation Ursa Major, commonly known as the Big Dipper. Other sages about whom I am always striving to get more decent FACTUAL information about are: Bhrighu, Shuka, Shukra, Druva, Amsa, Agasthya, Kousika, Koumara, Kakbhusandi, Bhoga, Pullipani, Vashista, Vishwamitra, Parasara, Sahadeva Can you or other colleagues suggest?
