Rishis, in ancient Vedic tradition, are like our guardian angels. They are wise sages who watch over us, guiding and protecting us in all areas of life. Whether we’re facing challenges in our personal lives, careers, or spiritual journey, Rishis are there to help us overcome obstacles, find clarity, and achieve overall growth. Their wisdom and support are integral to our progress and well-being.
Rishi Panchami is celebrated on the fifth day (Panchami) of the bright half of the Vedic lunar month of Bhadrapada to honor the seven great sages, known as the Sapta Rishis, who act as our guardian angels, guiding us towards progress in life.
Each of us has a Rishi, or guardian angel, who watches over our mind. This Rishi is linked to the 12th house in our birth chart, representing sleep and the renewal of the mind. By calling on this Rishi, we can find freedom from the thoughts that hold us back.
We all carry a spiritual debt called Rishi Rna, which is a moral obligation to honor these Rishis. We can do this through rituals, studying their teachings, and practicing spiritual disciplines like yoga and meditation.
As Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar says, “A strong mind can carry a weak body, but a weak mind cannot even carry a strong body.”
To renew and recharge your mind, it’s important to honor the Rishis who guard it. Rishi Panchami is one of the best days to do this.
