Agastya rishi

Agastya :
Agastya is the reputed author of several hymns in the Rig- Veda and a very celebrated personage . The Puranas represent him as being the son of Pulastya , the sage from whom the Rakshasas sprang . Agastya is derived from a forced etymology in a fable, which represents him as having commanded the Vindhya Mountains to prostrate before him . Hence he is also called Vindhya Kuta. He is one of the writers of the Brahma Purana and also a writer on
medicine . He holds a distinguished place in the Ramayana , where he dwelt in a hermitage on Mount Kunjara as chief of the hermits of the south . He extended kindness to Lord Rama in exile and went on to become his friend, advisor and protector . He is also said to have gifted the bow of Vishnu to Rama . He is also considered the first teacher of science and literature to the primitive Dravidian tribes . Hence they venerate him .

Nice post. I learn something more challenging on different blogs everyday. It will always be stimulating to read content from other writers and practice a little something from their store. I’d prefer to use some with the content on my blog whether you don’t mind. Natually I’ll give you a link on your web blog. Thanks for sharing.
