Atharvar

Atharvar is a Sanskrit term that refers to one of the seven sages of the Rigveda, an ancient Indian Vedic text. The term Atharvar is a compound of the words Atha, meaning "stial fire" or "dual lights", and Var, meaning "bres". In Hindu mythology, the Atharvar are considered a group of seven wise men who are credited with the discovery of the sacred texts of the Vedas.

According to legend, the Atharvar were the sons of the sage Atharvan and Brahyan. They were known for their exceptional wisdom, spiritual knowledge, and magical powers. The seven sages are believed to have possessed supernatural abilities, including the power of speech, hearing, sight, mind, vital breath, strength, and the universe.

In Hindu scriptures, the Atharvar are associated with the creation of the universe and the origin of human civilization. They are credited with bringing knowledge and rituals to mankind, and are often depicted as assisting the gods in the creation and maintenance of the universe. The Atharvar are also associated with the mystical power of sound, with each of the seven sages being connected to a different aspect of sound, such as the creation of the first human through sound, or the power of speech.

The concept of the Atharvar has had a significant impact on Hinduism, with many temples and festivals throughout India and the world being dedicated to these seven wise men. Their legacy continues to influence Indian philosophy, art, and culture to this day.
