Why Saptarishi Avahanam?
Saptarishi Avahanam is a powerful process taught by Shiva to his disciples - the seven sages - thousands of years ago. The process has been preserved in its pure form by priests of the Kashi Vishwanath temple in Varanasi.
Every year, seven priests from Kashi conduct the Saptarishi Avahanam at Sadhguru Sannidhi Bengaluru to offer gratitude to the Saptarishis for being a vehicle for Shiva’s grace. This is the only occasion when it is offered outside the Kashi Vishwanath temple.
Sadhguru explains that this technology was transmitted by Shiva to the Saptarishis, thousands of years ago, with Devi as the witness. When Saptarishis had to go to different parts of the world and offer the science of Yoga, they asked him, “How can we carry your presence with us?” and thus began the Saptarishi Avahanam.
