A wise spiritual teacher or mystic in Hindu and Buddhist traditions, someone with deep spiritual knowledge.
From Sanskrit 'ṛṣi,' meaning 'sage' or 'seer.' The word has been used in Hindu traditions for over 3,000 years to describe the wisest spiritual teachers.
The ancient Rishis were credited with composing the Vedas—Hinduism's oldest texts—and they were said to possess supernatural abilities because their spiritual insight was so profound that it seemed magical!
