Powerful Rishis

Rishis or sages were extraordinary individuals who spent their entire lives in the pursuit of knowledge and truth. Some of them gained such immeasurable powers through their penance and meditation that even the gods did not dare to cross them. This collection features the stories of three such rishis. Vishwamitra was a king who gave up everything to become a sage and attain higher consciousness. Agastya used his powers to help the devas whenever they were in trouble, restoring harmony in the world.
