Indian culture has evolved over the millenia by India’s ancient rishis, who at the banks of River Saraswati and other holy rivers of India had ‘discovered’ the Vedic literature – the very foundation of Indian civilization. The term “rishi” or “rsi” originally denoted the composers and singers of Vedic hymns. However, the rishi is also a ‘sage’ to whom the Gods revealed the Vedas (knowledge of the eternal truths about the Creator, His creation and means to preserve it).
