Devarshi

/deɪˈvɑːrʃi/ noun

Definition

A Sanskrit term for a divine sage or saint, combining the concepts of god and wisdom.

Etymology

From Sanskrit 'deva' (god/divine) + 'rishi' (sage/seer). The combination creates a term for beings who are both divine and possess supreme wisdom and spiritual knowledge.

Kelly Says

In Hindu and Sanskrit literature, Devarshis bridge the gap between gods and humans—they're like the ultimate spiritual celebrities, wise enough to advise the gods themselves, appearing throughout the Vedas and Puranas!
