Munis & Rishis (Sages & Seers) http://www.sadguruseva.org/sss/sssMain.html
In the Puranaas (Indian mythological scriptures), we come across stories of Rishis and Munis. But we do not know who is a Rishi and who is a Muni. There is a difference between the two. All those who meditate are Munis. But only those, who are capable of having darshana (revelation) are Rishis. What is darshana? Is it the vision of some deity? No. The act of perceiving (experiencing) in the heart, the vibration of the mantras (seed letters) pervading the whole universe, since time immemorial, is called darshana. Those who achieve this are Mantradrastaas. They alone are called Rishis. Some have tried to conduct and some are still conducting research about the period of Vedas. They are like those who try to find out when the first wave arose on the ocean. Veda mantras revealed in the hearts of the deserved will remain on earth as long as the disciples fit for their grace are there. Later they merge in the sky and give darshan to the deserving Maharshi. This is why none of the Vedic Rishis claimed that they were the author of the Vedas. - Sri Swamiji Jai Guru Datta! ------------------------ Yahoo!
