1. Rishi

   The term Rishi originates from the ancient pre-Hindu culture of the Indus region earth-based cultures. Rishis were the scribes of the large body of nature hymns and spiritual science known as the Vedas. A Rishi is a sage of insight, one who practices self-cultivation as a Yogini or Yogi and attains asamprajñata Samadhi. A person through Yogic concentration first attains samprajñata samadhi and with continued effort attains asamprajñata samadhi. The Rishi's soul is interpreted as imbibing wisdom directly from the universal source. Vedic hymns are sermons conceived as delivered by divine inspiration by the rishis. According to the term in popular culture, a Rishi will never contradict another Rishi due to their knowledge being directly revealed from God.
